Beginner rule: Use AI as a patient helper, not as the final authority. Keep private details out, slow down before clicking, and check important information through official sources.
Short answer
How sellers can spot buyers who overpay, send fake receipts, or ask for refunds.
Why this scam works
Payment screenshots can be edited or fake. AI can make a message sound calm, official, personal, or urgent. That means spelling mistakes are no longer enough to identify a scam.
A simple everyday example
A buyer claims they sent too much and asks you to return the difference.
First safe prompt
“Review this marketplace buyer message. List scam signs and safe seller steps.”
Beginner rule
Slow down before clicking, paying, replying, downloading, scanning a QR code, or sharing a verification code. Urgency is often part of the trick.
What to check first
Check the sender, the link, the account name, the payment method, the phone number, and whether the request can be verified through a website or number you already know.
Useful examples
Use AI to list red flags, rewrite a message in simpler words, make a verification checklist, or prepare what to say when calling the official company yourself.
Safety note
Do not refund money based on screenshots or pending payment emails.
