$16.8M

Fraudulent receipts caught by a single TruthScan customer β€” in one month.

One enterprise customer ran their submitted receipts through TruthScan's detection APIs and flagged $16.8 million in fraudulent claims in the first month alone. Fake receipts aren't an edge case. They're a line item you haven't measured yet.

TRUTHSCAN CUSTOMER DETECTION DATA Β· SINGLE CUSTOMER, 30-DAY PERIOD

ONE PLATFORM, EVERY SUBMISSION

A receipt used to be proof. Now it's a prompt.

Consumer AI tools generate itemized, correctly-taxed, brand-accurate receipts and invoices on demand. Every workflow that pays out against a receipt is exposed.

Expense report fraud example

T&E / EXPENSE

Expense report fraud

Employees submit AI-generated receipts for meals, travel, and purchases that never happened β€” or regenerate real receipts with inflated totals.

ATTACK PATTERN

An employee prompts a receipt generator: "steakhouse dinner, four people, $412, downtown." The output passes finance review, OCR, and the audit sample.

Invoice fraud example

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Invoice fraud

Fabricated and manipulated invoices enter AP queues β€” fake vendors, inflated line items, and regenerated documents with altered payment details.

ATTACK PATTERN

A fraudster regenerates a legitimate vendor invoice with a new bank account number. Every field extracts cleanly. The payment routes to the wrong account.

Proof-of-purchase fraud example

RETURNS & CLAIMS

Proof-of-purchase fraud

Shoppers and claimants submit fake receipts to claim refunds, warranty service, price adjustments, and insurance payouts on items they never bought.

ATTACK PATTERN

A "customer" generates a receipt for a $900 purchase, reports it damaged, and files for a refund. No purchase ever existed.

HOW IT WORKS

Screening inside the workflow you already run

Receipts arrive as photos and PDFs β€” so TruthScan applies the right engine to each: the Image Detection API for photographed receipts, the PDF Detection API for digital documents.

STEP 01

Connect at intake

Send every submitted receipt or invoice to TruthScan the moment it enters your expense tool, AP queue, returns portal, or claims system. REST + webhooks, real time or batch.

STEP 02

Get a verdict with proof

In one to two seconds: a confidence score, a detection heatmap over the manipulated regions, and a plain-language forensic summary.

STEP 03

Pay the real ones

Clean submissions reimburse at full speed. Flagged receipts route to review with evidence attached β€” consistent, documented, defensible denials.

BUILT FOR YOUR FRAUD SURFACE

Where fake images and forged documents cost the most

Generation artifacts

Pixel-level and structural signals left by AI image generators and receipt-builder tools β€” invisible to human reviewers and OCR alike.

Template reuse

Matches against known generator templates and repeated layouts appearing across unrelated submissions β€” the fingerprint of organized abuse.

Metadata & capture forensics

Missing capture-device data, impossible timestamps, editing-software traces, and file-history anomalies on both photos and PDFs.

Document structure

Font inconsistencies, layer analysis, and edit history in PDF receipts and invoices β€” including regenerated documents where only the numbers changed.

DEFENSIBLE DENIALS

Evidence your finance and audit teams can stand behind

Denying an expense or refusing an invoice is a confrontation. TruthScan arms the decision: a region-level heatmap showing exactly what was generated or altered, a confidence score, and a forensic summary in plain language.

Every verdict is retained in your detection history β€” a consistent, documented basis for disputes, internal investigations, and external audits.
