TheFakeOnes

TheFakeOnes

Send a screenshot of a social media ad. We’ll flag shady store signals and hunt for the same product at a better price.

Three steps. No browser form.

Built for WhatsApp. Share a screenshot from Facebook or Instagram — no need to paste sketchy URLs into a website.

Message the bot

Beta testers message TheFakeOnes on WhatsApp. Public access opens after the holiday trial.

Send the ad screenshot

We read the visible price, claims, and store clues — then run a visual search for the same product.

Get flags + cheaper matches

Evidence-based red flags (not accusations), plus where the item appears for less on major marketplaces.

What we look for

We report signals with evidence. We never claim a store “is a scam.”

Brand-new storefronts Domain age, certificate history, and thin store footprints.
Markup vs. marketplace price Same image listed far cheaper on AliExpress, Temu, or Amazon.
Cleaner alternatives Up to three cheaper visual matches when we find them.
