Assessing validity of mail item

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing data instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive an image of a mail item captured by a camera of an augmented reality user device;
• identify data fields within the mail item;
• discern fraudulent characteristics within the mail item by performing a contextual analysis on the data fields within the mail item;
• based on the contextual analysis, establish a validity of data within the data fields;
• generate a user-interactive image overlay for the image of the mail item that includes a validity indicator associated with at least one of the data fields within the mail item, the validity indicator indicating the validity of the data;
• display, by the augmented reality user device, the user-interactive image overlay on the image of the mail item;
• and
• upon receipt of a selection of the validity indicator, update the user-interactive image overlay to include a display of a selectable action button with a recommendation regarding whether to pay a monetary amount to a payee.
