Learn to spot fake news or AI images

Help me sense-check something that might be fake.

What I saw: [paste claim or describe image]
Where: [WhatsApp, Facebook, news site]
Why I'm unsure: [details]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A checklist to sense-check before I share.
2. Reverse-image and source questions I can do myself.
3. Signs of AI-generated images in general terms.
4. For scams and account takeovers, point me to official help (the service's own pages, NCSC, Report Fraud at reportfraud.police.uk / 0300 123 2040 or Scotland 101, 7726 for scam texts, report@phishing.gov.uk for scam emails, and 159 or the number on my card if money is at risk); never ask me to share passwords or codes with you. If it's a scam text, remind me to forward it to 7726.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English.
