Direct Deposit Scam Checker verifies whether a payment, proof of payment or invoice is genuine. We analyze the formatting, sender, references, screenshot metadata and known fake-receipt templates used across every major platform. Upload the payment proof, invoice or transaction screenshot into ScamGuard — you'll get a clear verdict, a plain-language reason, and the next step. Works on phone, desktop and WhatsApp.
Buyer 'pays' you, sends a screenshot of the transfer. The transfer never arrives because the screenshot was edited in seconds.
Buyer overpays, asks you to refund the difference via another method. The original payment is reversed days later.
Forward anything suspicious related to Direct Deposit Scam Checker to ScamGuard on WhatsApp — works for text, links, screenshots, voice notes and PDFs.
