We built a free, instant job scam detector because no one should lose their savings to a fake employer. Here's who we are, why this matters, and who we protect.
VerifyJobs.org exists to give every job seeker — regardless of where they live or how tech-savvy they are — a fast, free way to check if a job offer is real before they invest time, money, or personal information.
Job fraud is not a small problem. Millions of people lose billions of dollars each year to fake employers who exploit desperation. The scams are sophisticated, the platforms are everywhere (WhatsApp, Telegram, email, social media), and the victims are often people who can least afford to lose what they lose. We built VerifyJobs to close that gap.
The idea came from watching people in our own communities fall for job scams — educated people, careful people, people who checked multiple times but had no reliable tool to verify what they were looking at.
Most existing tools require sign-ups, charge fees, or only work for specific platforms. We wanted something anyone could open on their phone, paste a WhatsApp message into, and get a clear answer in seconds. No account. No payment. No friction.
VerifyJobs is especially focused on job seekers in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, India, the Philippines, and other markets where WhatsApp job scams, advance-fee fraud, and fake brand ambassador schemes are rampant — but the tool works for anyone, anywhere.
VerifyJobs is free for everyone, but our detection engine is specifically trained on scam patterns most common in these markets:
Scam detection should not cost money. VerifyJobs is and will remain free to use.
We don't store the text you paste or the files you upload. Your data stays yours.
Our scam patterns cover local fraud methods, not just Western ones.
Scam patterns evolve. Our rule engine is updated as new tactics emerge.
VerifyJobs is not a government agency, a law enforcement body, or a legal service. Our verdicts are based on pattern matching and should be used as a guide, not as a definitive legal determination. We are also not affiliated with any job board, recruiter, or employer.
If you believe you have been the victim of a job scam, please report it to your national consumer protection agency — EFCC in Nigeria, FTC in the USA, Action Fraud in the UK — and, if money was stolen, your bank immediately.
