Fake Proof of Payment

Fraudsters may present fake or manipulated payment confirmations to make it appear that a payment has been completed.

Common warning signs include:

• Altered or low-quality screenshots

• Incorrect amounts, names or account details

• Timestamps that do not match the transaction

• A payment shown as pending or processing

• Pressure to complete the transaction before the funds are received

Never rely solely on a screenshot, receipt or payment confirmation provided by another party.

Always verify that the correct amount has actually been received in your own bank account, wallet or payment account before confirming or completing a transaction.
