  • A video showing a man unboxing an order to discover pebbles inside it is going viral on the internet as a real incident, warning others against this new form of 'online fraud'. What did the viral post say?: Those sharing the clip have said, "A form of online fraud. Ordered before giving cash, make sure that it is affordable. Be careful not to fall prey to 4 frauds." What is the truth?: The video is scripted and does not show a real incident as claimed in the viral social media posts. It was originally shared on 1 January by a Facebook handle named 'Social Message'. How did we find that out?: On performing a reverse image search on the viral clip, we found the same video uploaded on a Facebook handle called 'Kutch power News'. It was posted on 3 January and its caption when translated to English said, Before doing online shopping, please watch this video, otherwise you may have to regret. Information received from sources." We performed a keyword search using parts of the caption found above and came across the original post shared by a Facebook account called 'Social Message'. It was published on 1 January and its caption said, "Watch this video before shopping online, otherwise you may regret." About the Facebook account: The handle's bio clearly mentioned that all the videos uploaded on the page are scripted. It said, "The videos uploaded on this page are scripted and are made for the purpose of awareness or entertainment. Be careful friends: We do not sell or send any Ayurvedic product. If any fraud happens in our name, you yourself will be responsible for it. Thank you." Team WebQoof found more videos available on the Facebook account, which showed the same actor playing different characters. Conclusion: It is clear that the video is scripted and does not show a real incident. (Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified?
