fake receipts

Fabricated proof-of-purchase

Fake receipts are fabricated evidence—screenshots, texts, or documents—presented to prove claims about someone's behavior, especially in online disputes.

The term comes from "receipts" meaning proof of wrongdoing: She posted receipts of his DMs.

Fake receipts are manufactured or doctored evidence used to deceive: Those screenshots are fake receipts—the fonts don't even match.
