Fraudulent activities such as fake bank statements have become increasingly prevalent and sophisticated. Fake bank statements are designed to look like genuine ones, but they can be identified through various techniques including visual cues, key fields analysis, metadata analysis, and technology-based solutions. These documents often contain inconsistencies, such as inconsistent fonts, low resolution characters, misaligned elements, misspellings, unusual file formats, incorrect totals, merchant details, number formats, additional charges, and ending and starting balance discrepancies. Advanced software can manipulate these documents, making it essential for individuals and businesses to be aware of the risks and take necessary precautions. Technology-based solutions such as document fraud detection software, OCR and AI-enabled data extraction tools, knowledge graphs, and blockchain are being used to combat bank statement fraud, providing improved accuracy and efficiency in detecting fraudulent activities.
