Job scam checker
Got a job offer or recruiter message that feels off? Paste it here to see the warning signs that fake remote jobs usually show.
- Requests to pay for training, equipment or a “starter kit”
- Checks to deposit and money to send on
- Gift cards, crypto, Zelle or Cash App
- Interviews only by Telegram, WhatsApp or Signal
- Recruiters writing from Gmail or Outlook
- Job offers with no interview
- Requests for your SSN, bank details or ID
- Easy money and pressure to act fast
This checker looks for common patterns. It can’t prove a job is real or fake: a clean result is not a guarantee, and a warning can be innocent. When in doubt, contact the company through its official website.
If you think it’s a scam
Stop and don’t pay
Don’t send money, gift cards or personal details. Don’t deposit any check they send you.
