Online scam evidence checklist: keep the original messages, payment records and report copies together. Deal with payment and account risks promptly; a receipt is an extra record.
Keep the originals and the complete receipt. This guide does not issue a date or take a payment.
Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.
Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.
Save complete emails with headers, chat exports and relevant web pages. Keep originals securely, not just cropped images.
Retain transaction receipts and the report copy. Contact the bank or payment provider promptly using a trusted channel.
Keep the exact files you would later compare with a complete time receipt. Do not delay a report while waiting for one.
