Privacy, bill sharing and scam safety

A bill can reveal more than its amount. It may show a full name, home or service address, customer number, barcode, QR code, due date and provider account details. Before sharing any bill with a person or platform, check whether it is a live service, who can see the information, what is retained and how to remove it.

Do not publish unredacted bills

Hide account/customer numbers, barcodes, QR codes, payment references, street address and identifying details not needed to explain the request.
Never share bank logins, passwords, OTPs, full card details, security codes or identity documents in a public post or direct message.
Do not upload bills to this site. It has no bill-submission feature and cannot arrange help.

Spot impersonation and advance-fee scams

Be cautious if a stranger claims they can guarantee payment but asks first for a fee, gift card, crypto transfer, bank password, OTP or remote access. Confirm the account independently through the project’s first-party domain or public social profile; a logo or copied profile is not proof. Never pay a fee to an unverified person to “release” a promised donation.

Verify a platform before relying on it

Find dated terms, a privacy policy, an identifiable operator and a support channel.
Check whether it is a prototype/demo or a live service that actually transfers money.
Understand where funds go, what fees exist, how refunds and disputes work, and whether the provider receives payment directly.
Check the bill issuer’s own site before giving an unfamiliar party account information.

If you already shared a bill or credentials, contact the provider and financial institution using verified contact details, change affected passwords and report suspicious messages. See the overview and reference sources.
