Pretty amusing. Anyone who falls for this gets what they deserve.

This is the ultimate red flag collection. This could be an exercise for older and vulnerable web users.
Circle the 10 red flags!

It looks like giant red orange poorly pollinated corn ears.

But, I want giant towers of tomatoes with no leaves!! I know it makes no biological sense, but I deserve gigantic shiny tomatoes that occasionally glitch & morph into each other!!

I stumbled across another seed-selling website this morning that seemed suspiciously like AI, with this exact color scheme. Not a single review anywhere on the website.
AI is already being used to scam people. Depressing.

Those posts always have the most hilarious boomer comments. Especially the ones about nobody liking their grandpa’s AI generated wood carvings 😂.

i’m currently building a website using Wix, and it seems like these website building apps are promoting AI use excessively. They’ve integrated it in everything, the words the pictures the layout. I’m talking everything.

It would be funny if it were true, but it’s such a hoax. Somebody’s gonna believe it and buy it.

The fact that it is a site targeted to US and a few other western demographics but hosted and ran in China is another huge red flag. They might actually ship seeds but it’s probably similar to the direct from factory junk on marketplace sites here that sell low quality products with edited images (lol and they aren’t even convincing on this one) to make the product look legitimate. It’s definitely a scam.

[I posted about this](https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/s/wQyMTiLghl) too. I don’t know what we do except make people aware.

Another one I saw recently. Just ridiculous.
I just use the seeds my plants give me.
No confusion then
Lol, I’m dying to know what they will actually send you! Probably like a plastic pony bead or something.
I knew something was fishy when the tomato had six fingers.
I hope and pray that AI remains this obvious
