Many fake videos will loop around to the start after a certain amount of time elapses. If the video call comes from someone you know, and their contact information is correct, what is the video content? Is the person allegedly calling you even in the video? Is the person calling you on your contacts list? If not, does the name mean anything to you? Alternatively, does the contact name appear as the name of an app? Resizing the video will distort the proportions of the video, so it looks out of shape (think extra long or extra wide face, and so on).
Whoever is fake video calling you will resize a video to fit the webcam window or the app they're using. If the fake video comes from an online source, check for watermarks or other signs the video is stolen. The quality of the video is usually poor. In short, there are a few tell-tale signs regarding a fake video call: Either that, or the threat of phishing scams relating to the latest news cycle. But for the most part, would someone go to that length to create a fake video call to fool you?įor most people, tech support scams are a more pressing issue. There are, of course, tricks to skirt these issues-fake accounts, fake phone numbers, false names, pictures, and so on.
