Hello

I realized recently that making fake transactions are possible. I know no one can undo any transactions, either.

I want to know is there any way to detect that a certain unconfirmed transaction is fake or not, right after sending?

This is a big problem for me because of so many unconfirmed transactions that i'm getting nowadays.

If you are unsure whether your bitcoin address has received funds and/or do not have your bitcoin wallet at hand you can still check by using a Blockchain Explorer, as all bitcoin addresses are publicly visible on the bitcoin blockchain you can look them up if you are aware of the address or the transaction id.
