Analysis

What to do next

Know the warning signs

Six patterns appear in the vast majority of fraudulent job postings. Recognising them takes seconds.

Upfront payment request

Legitimate employers never charge for training, equipment, or a starter kit. Any request for money before your first day is advance-fee fraud by definition.

Impossible salary claims

£5,000/week for data entry. Offers of extraordinary pay for minimal-skill remote work are a universal scam signal — across every market, real pay matches the role.

Free email domain

Every real company hires from @company.com. A recruiter using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail for official correspondence is a near-universal scam signal.

Artificial urgency

"Limited slots — apply today." Pressure tactics are designed to stop you researching the employer. A real opportunity still exists tomorrow.

WhatsApp-only contact

Scammers avoid traceable, recorded channels. No legitimate employer hires exclusively via WhatsApp or Telegram without any formal process at all.

Pre-interview ID request

Requesting government ID numbers, passport copies, or bank details before any formal interview or offer letter is an identity theft or advance-fee fraud signal, regardless of country.

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know about the tool.

How does the hybrid engine work?+

Two layers run simultaneously. A rule engine checks 50+ known fraud patterns. An AI model (XGBoost + BERT) reads the text for subtler signals no rule can catch. The final score is a weighted blend — when both agree, we trust the combination; when they disagree, we use the higher score to err on your side. Hard floors ensure absolute scam signals (e.g. "pay registration fee") always push the score above 60.

What does the risk score mean?+

The score runs from 0 to 100. Above 70 — multiple serious fraud indicators, avoid it. 45–69 — suspicious, do careful independent research. Below 45 — lower risk, though always verify any employer before accepting an offer or sharing personal data.

Is it completely free?+

Yes — completely. No account, email, or credit card required. No personal data is stored. Just paste, upload, or enter a URL and get your result instantly.

Can I check a WhatsApp message?+

Yes. Copy the full message, paste it in the Paste Text tab, and set the Source field to "WhatsApp." The engine specifically flags upfront payment requests, unrealistic salaries, and free email addresses common in WhatsApp recruitment scams.

What file types are supported?+

PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Word documents (.doc and .docx), and images (.jpg, .png, .webp) up to 10 MB. Images are processed with OCR to extract the text. You can also paste text directly or submit a URL for analysis.

A posting was flagged — what now?+

Do not send money or share bank details, government ID numbers, or passport information. Cut contact immediately and screenshot all evidence. Then report to the relevant authority for your country — see our Report a Scam page for direct links covering Nigeria, the USA, UK, Ghana, Kenya, India, and Canada.
