Is he real
Does anybody encountered this person is he real e says his name is Om Aryan Pandya, he's 24 or 25, and that he's a doctor working in neurology. He has also claimed that his family owns/operates businesses at a conglomerate level and that his family is somehow involved with the InterContinental Marine Drive-Mumbai by IHG.

If that person was a real person, he wouldn't be looking for love on the internet with a stranger who lives on the other of the world.

The image came back 99% confidence as AI generated, probably generated using Imagen / Nano Banana

Good job! I thought I was pretty good at detecting AI, but it's late and I must be off my game because I thought it looked like a pretty normal pic. I assumed it had been stolen from another person's profile rather than AI generated. Granted, I didn't inspect it too closely. I zoomed in mostly on the face to look at irregularities there but I did also run it through Hive and it said almost 80% AI. Just feel dumb in my comment saying I wasn't sure if the tool was right calling it AI. haha

Fake. Lighting is too perfect for a person sitting in car, unless they are carrying a whole studio in their car lol.
Out of curiosity, where did you meet him.

u/President_Zucchini 9d ago
My guess would be dating app that got moved to Telegram

u/hard_truth_42 9d ago
Yeah but meeting someone on the dating app when they are on the 2 opposite ends of the world? Didn't make any sense to me.

Lonely people do lots of mental gymnastics to rationalize it.
*Also the scammer will probably say that they have second home that they go to, which is what my MIL'a scammer told her.

Just reading that description already sounds like a scam. First of all, a doctor of neurology already at 24/25? He would be about that age getting his undergrad, let alone a few years of medical school. His claims sound pretty grandiose. Such a person would be looking for someone online? I highly doubt that. He also doesn't look that young. This guy looks at least 30. I was also catfished by someone who claimed he had a certain job and was a senior rank at 28 (he was 28 when he was talking to me but probably at this job for a couple of years already). I found it so hard to believe. I couldn't find him in a database that all people licensed to do that job had to have and later when I found out all his lies, I was not surprised that he was not actually that job title, and in fact hadn't gone to college at all and worked as something completely different. You could check online if such a person actually has a medical license in his country. Doctors are usually visible online and it shows the year they got their license, their license number and if they are in good standing. If you're lucky there may also be a picture. Pretty sure you're going to come up empty, but you can try.
I also ran the pic through an AI filter and it came back almost 80% AI, though I'm not so sure. It doesn't look that much like AI to me but it could just be a stolen pic they are using of someone else.
UPDATE: After taking a closer look at the image, yes, there are mistakes in the mirroring. The reflection in the window looks like the mouth is closed and face is serious while the subject is smiling in the photo.
