Fake payment screenshot checker
A screenshot is not proof that money arrived. Images can be edited, reused or captured from an incomplete transaction, so the official account record must remain the source of truth.

Use the screenshot tab for an analysis, then verify every payment in the official account before releasing goods.

What this check can tell you
A fake payment screenshot check result can organize public evidence, but it cannot prove identity, intent, delivery or future behaviour. Treat a clean result as one input, not permission to send money.
Warning signals to review
Do not trust a screenshot timestamp or status label by itself. compare the claimed amount and reference with your own account. watch for pressure to release goods before settlement. ignore links sent as proof of payment. Finally, treat overpayment and refund requests as high risk.
A safer verification process
Open the official bank or wallet app yourself. check the settled balance and transaction history. match the reference, amount and sender details. wait for final settlement where applicable. Finally, keep the goods until the payment is independently confirmed.
Choose a payment route with recovery options
Prefer an official marketplace checkout, credit card or regulated payment service with a documented dispute process. A request to move to direct transfer, gift card or cryptocurrency removes protections and deserves extra scrutiny.
If you think it is a scam
If money has already been sent, stop further payments, contact the provider through its official app or website, preserve the listing and messages, and report the incident through the appropriate official channel. Ignore anyone demanding an advance fee to recover the money.
