A Reddit post in r/PropertyManagement recently went viral.
Someone shared screenshots of an AI tool that can generate fake pay stubs on demand.This isn’t a template. You enter income, company name, taxes, and dates, and it builds a polished, fully fabricated document that looks completely real, with logos, formatting, spacing - it’s all there.
Tools like this aren’t niche anymore. They’re public, fast, and easy to use.For lenders and property managers, this changes the risk landscape. These fakes pass visual checks. They often pass automated filters too. The bar for catching fraud just got a lot higher.
At Trustedcopy, we don’t rely on visual cues. We verify documents at the source. Instead of asking “Does this look real?” we ask, “Did this come from a trusted source?”. That’s the difference between playing defense and having control.
Conclusion
AI-generated document fraud isn’t going anywhere. But you don’t have to fight it with guesswork. Learn more about our infrastructure for source-based authentication here.
