If they're in your photo gallery they're probably screenshots. Have you been looking at currency markets?If they are screenshots you should be able to delete from the gallery app itself.0

They are screenshots but I get loads I want to block them. Thanks0

Are you getting random screenshots from various sites/apps or just one particular one?Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0

Well the easiest solution is don't take screenshots, because that's a feature of Android, its easily done on stock Android as well by accident.They don't just appear on their own, something is triggering them if you're not physically pushing the buttons to take a screenshot1
-
Could it be malware taking the screenshots and forwarding them on hoping to catch bank details or other private info?

you haven't really been clear yes they are screenshots but do you recognise them i.e could they be screenshots of something you have been looking at or they completely random screenshots you don't recognize at all1
