  • Or a fully synthetic image is generated from a prompt to match an expected photo type
  • Submitted images often include synthetic timestamps, location pins, or device metadata

Where it shows up

  • Marketplace seller and buyer disputes claiming damaged or undelivered goods
  • Gig economy delivery fraud showing items at wrong locations

  • Returns fraud where the returned condition is documented synthetically
