Paste a job offer message. Get a scam risk score in seconds. No sign-up. No data stored. 100% free. Used by job seekers across the US, UK, Canada, India, and the Philippines to verify recruiter messages on WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, Indeed, and email.
Job scams cost victims over $370M in 2023 (FTC data) and remote work scams have surged 5x since 2020. If a recruiter contacts you out of nowhere, asks for any fee, demands crypto payment, or insists on WhatsApp-only communication, paste their message into our free checker before responding.
The shift to remote work, AI-generated scam scripts, and the global reach of messaging apps have pushed employment fraud to record levels. The FTC reported 105,000+ job scam complaints in 2023 with median losses of $2,000 per victim. Brand impersonation (Amazon, Google, Microsoft), task-job traps on Telegram, and crypto payment schemes are the three fastest-growing scam categories.
Step 1: Copy the suspicious message exactly as you received it. Step 2: Paste it into the text box on this page. Step 3: Click Check. You get an instant risk score from 0 to 100 with each red flag identified and explained. The whole process takes 5 seconds. We do not store your message, we do not require sign-up, and we do not share data.
Payment requests (registration fees, equipment fees, training fees, deposits), crypto payment demands (USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum), off-platform contact pivots (recruiter pushes you to WhatsApp or Telegram), task job traps, fake recruiter patterns, money mule schemes (receive and forward money for commission), urgency pressure tactics, and unrealistic pay claims (e.g., $300/day for app ratings).
WhatsApp Amazon HR scam, Telegram task/app-rating scams, fake LinkedIn recruiter profiles, Google/Microsoft brand impersonation, money mule "payment processor" roles, crypto-paid remote jobs, reshipping/package-forwarding scams, fake offer letters with deposit fees, and Indeed posting scams. Each has its own playbook — see our linked guides below.
We analyze message text, not sender identity, document authenticity, or website legitimacy. A clean score does not guarantee the offer is real. Always verify through official company channels: find the role on the official careers page, confirm the recruiter via @company.com email, and insist on a real video interview.
Yes, completely free. No sign-up, no payment, no hidden fees. We do not store your messages and do not require any personal info.
Our engine flags well-documented scam patterns with high accuracy. A high risk score is a strong signal of fraud. A clean score still requires you to verify the company and recruiter independently.
No. We analyze message patterns, not company identity. Always verify a company by visiting their official website, finding the job on their careers page, and confirming the recruiter through @company.com email and LinkedIn.
No. We do not store the message content. By default, only an anonymous risk score is logged for analytics, never the text itself.
Trust your instincts. The checker catches text patterns; some scams use clean-looking messages. Always verify the company exists, the recruiter is real, and the job is listed on the official careers page.
Both apps allow instant messaging without identity verification, work internationally, and let scammers disappear quickly by deleting accounts. Real employers use email, video calls, and verified hiring platforms.
Report to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov, your state attorney general, and the platform where contact happened (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Indeed).
Sometimes. Credit card and bank transfers within the last 30-90 days may be reversible — contact your bank immediately. Crypto and gift cards are usually unrecoverable. See our Job Scam Recovery Guide for the step-by-step process.
