Fake Receipt Checker
Protect Your Business from Tampered Purchase Receipts

Fake receipt detector for rewards and loyalty automation
Receipt fraud poses a growing challenge for organisations managing rewards programs and expense claims. Traditional verification approaches often rely on time-consuming manual reviews that strain resources and leave businesses vulnerable to sophisticated manipulation attempts.
Taggun addresses this challenge through AI-powered receipt verification that transforms how businesses validate proof-of-purchase submissions. Our platform combines receipt OCR technology with advanced fraud detection algorithms to automatically identify tampered receipts, detect duplicates, and flag suspicious patterns in real-time. This supports organisations with proactive receipt fraud prevention and time saving automation that enable real time experiences and the scalability to scan and process receipts at high volumes efficiently.

Understanding Receipt Fraud Detection
Receipt fraud detection uses the following fraud detection checks:
Spotting Altered Details
Modified purchase details such as dates or amounts.
Spotting Altered Details
- Identifies identical or highly similar receipts to prevent multiple submissions of the same purchase.
- Surfaces potential repeat submissions, including lightly modified receipts, for review.
- Compares new submissions against historical data using advanced algorithms to spot patterns of repeat fraud.
Cashback Campaign
Duplicated or similar submissions aimed at exploiting reimbursement or reward programs.
Digital Tampering Detection
- Recognizes digitally altered receipts, including changes to crucial fields like purchase date, amounts, or merchant details.
- Analyse receipt images for manipulation using pixel and metadata checks.
- Uses metadata checks to flag suspicious receipt images.
Flagging the Handwritten
Handwritten receipts that might be more prone to manipulation.
Handwritten Receipt Detection
- Identifies handwritten receipts, which can carry a higher fraud risk due to difficulty in verifying authenticity.
- Allows separate handling or extra verification when receipts are partially or fully handwritten, ensuring more targeted scrutiny.
