Scout checks whether an Instagram deal is telling the truth
Forward an Instagram ad to Scout and receive a verification card covering price history, review patterns, product specifications, and seller details.
Field notes
Scout’s inspection card is organized around four evidence sources: recorded prices, review timing, manufacturer specifications, and seller or returns details. Its example treats a claimed ₹6,999 reference price against a 90-day ceiling of ₹1,899 and a median of ₹1,549, while also flagging a concentrated review surge. The page presents the results as facts and failed checks rather than a definitive fraud label, leaving the final judgment to the shopper.
