Beginner rule: Use AI to slow down, understand choices, and prepare safer questions. Do not let AI replace official sources, professional advice, or your own judgment.

Short answer

How to treat bank statements, payment screenshots, or receipts that may have been altered with AI.

Why this matters

AI editing can make a payment screenshot or receipt look convincing even when no real payment arrived.

Step-by-step

Start with a small, low-risk example. Tell AI what you want, give only the needed background, ask for a clear format, then review the answer slowly before acting.

Try this prompt

Check this payment proof for warning signs. List what I should verify through my bank or official account before trusting it.”

Common beginner mistake

The common mistake is giving AI private details or asking it to decide for you. Use AI to explain, organize, draft, compare, or prepare questions instead.

Safety note

Do not send goods, money, passwords, or account access because someone shared a screenshot. Verify in your own bank account.

What to do next

Save the prompt if it helps. Remove private details, change names to placeholders, and check anything important with an official source or trusted person.
