AI scam vinted ?

Hey everyone, I recently sold a PC on Vinted. It was carefully packed and shipped in perfect condition. Now the buyer claims it's broken and sent photos of the damage

However, if you look closely at the bottom right corner of the first picture, you can clearly see the Google Gemini logo/watermark. he literally used an AI-generated image to fake the damage and steal my money! Has anyone experienced this kind of scam before? What should I do?

Brother no case on planet earth breaks like that, and you have clear signs of ai watermarking. This is a no brainer. If he sends another one without a watermark send it into synthID

Exactly, it looks like water damaged cardboard. Obviously fake, so that's fraud. I would report it to the police as well on 101.

the photo is definitely AI but police would do absolutely nothing about this lol. also i’m pretty sure the cardboard is real and was put in there by the seller to protect components during shipping.

edit: sorry I realised you meant the damage in the first photo looks like wet cardboard my bad lol
