> This outlet documents theories and rumours circulating online. What is described here is not established fact and we do not endorse it: many of these claims are false or lack evidence. Each piece states what the evidence says.

**What the evidence says:** False. UK fact-checker Full Fact examined two posts and rated them false on 2 November 2026. Facebook labels both as AI content; Google's SynthID Detector said the images were made or edited with OpenAI; both link, in the comments, to a site that is not part of the Waterstones website. Waterstones told Full Fact it does not direct customers to sites other than waterstones.com. Full Fact does not say who made them or what happens if someone pays.

**Spread by:** Two unidentified Facebook posts

## Excerpt
