Lately, 'coupon hunters' have been leveraging AI technology to carry out fraudulent compensation claims. A number of e-commerce merchants have found themselves ensnared in 'AI-forged damage image refund scams'. Following the Double 11 shopping spree, these disputes have been popping up with increasing frequency. In these scams, buyers take advantage of AI tools to doctor images of undamaged products, making them appear defective. For instance, they might add mold spots to photos of fresh, unblemished fruits or create images of brand-new clothes with frayed threads. Then, armed with these doctored images, they file for 'refund only' claims, citing product defects as the reason. This fraudulent practice has hit e-commerce merchants hard. The high costs associated with defending their rights often result in significant economic losses for these merchants.
