ScamShield AI for E-commerce & Retail

Q: How do fake payment screenshots work?

A buyer edits a genuine UPI confirmation in a free photo editor, changing the amount or pasting a 'Payment Successful' label, and sends it to the seller. No money ever leaves their account. Because the forgery takes minutes and looks convincing at a glance, most shops dispatch the goods before noticing. ScamShield AI runs image forensics on the screenshot and flags the edited amount or status label, returning a verdict in under 3 seconds, before you dispatch.

Q: Can you check a UPI ID before I accept payment?

Yes. Paste a UPI handle such as name@okhdfcbank into the Universal Scanner and ScamShield AI scores it against known India fraud patterns and lookalike-handle heuristics that impersonate banks, wallets and government portals, then returns a risk score with plain-English reason codes.

Q: Do you catch refund and COD scams?

Yes. ScamShield AI flags the messages and screenshots used in refund traps, such as a fake 'refund reference' image or a request to scan a collect-request QR that pulls money instead of sending it, and the pressure tactics common in cash-on-delivery fraud. Paste the message, upload the screenshot or scan the QR and you get a risk score with a plain-English reason.

Q: Which plan should an online seller choose?

Screenshot forensics, UPI ID reputation checks and QR decoding are available on both the Starter and Professional plans through the Universal Scanner. Solo sellers and small shops usually start on Starter; growing D2C brands with a larger team and higher order volumes tend to prefer Professional. Start with a 30-day free trial. No card required.

Fake payment screenshots, refund and COD scams, and malicious QR codes cost sellers real stock. Get a verdict before you dispatch, in under 3 seconds.

Online sellers, shopkeepers and D2C brands take payments on trust, and fraudsters know it. A buyer sends a screenshot showing “₹18,500, Payment Successful,” you pack and dispatch the order, and the money never lands. Fake payment screenshots, refund traps, cash-on-delivery scams and malicious QR codes have become everyday hazards for anyone selling on WhatsApp, Instagram, a website or a shop counter.

ScamShield AI checks the things a busy team can’t. It reads payment screenshots forensically, scores the UPI ID behind the money, and decodes QR codes, so your staff know whether to trust a payment before the goods leave the shelf.

How ScamShield AI helps

Fake payment screenshots

A number pasted over the original amount, or a swapped “Successful” label, leaves traces our engine detects even when the image looks perfect to the eye. ScamShield AI runs image forensics on the screenshot before you mark the order paid.

UPI ID / VPA reputation

Paste a UPI handle such as refunds@paytm-helpdesk and it’s scored against India fraud patterns and lookalike-handle heuristics that impersonate banks, wallets and government portals, so a spoofed sender is caught early.

Refund & COD scams

Fake “refund reference” images, requests to scan a collect-request QR that pulls money instead of sending it, and the pressure tactics common in cash-on-delivery fraud are all flagged with a plain-English reason.

Malicious QR codes

Suspicious payment QR codes, including “collect request” traps that debit you instead of paying you, are decoded and checked before anyone scans them on the shop floor.
