Our company recently received an urgent email claiming to be from Binance, warning about increased SMS scam complaints and urging recipients to activate an ‘anti-phishing code.’ The message contained suspicious links and came from a dubious email address that didn't match official Binance domains. We decided not just skip it, but examine the content: is this text AI generated?
We ran the email's content through our AI text detector to perform a thorough analysis. The result showed 70% AI-generated content, indicating that scammers likely used AI tools to craft this convincing but fraudulent message. The detector flagged unnatural phrasing patterns, inconsistent formal tone, and formulaic security warnings commonly found in AI-generated scam emails.
With a 70% AI detection score, this Binance security alert is confirmed to be a phishing attempt using AI-generated content.
Look for generic greetings, urgent security claims, suspicious sender addresses, and poorly formatted links. Always verify through official channels and use an AI text detection tool for suspicious messages.
Platforms like isFake provide AI text detection specifically designed to identify AI-generated content in emails, messages, and documents.
Never click links in suspicious emails. Instead, log in directly to your account through the official website or app to check for legitimate security alerts.
Yes, the detector confirms with high probability that the email content was AI-generated, making it part of a sophisticated phishing campaign.
