Nothing is stored. This is guidance, not a verdict — always verify a company yourself.

What we look for

Upfront fees or “training kits,” requests for bank/ID details before an interview, free-email contacts with no company domain, WhatsApp/Telegram-only hiring, unrealistic pay, MLM “be your own boss” language, and ghost-job signals like evergreen reposts with no real responsibilities.

Know the signs

8 red flags of a fake or ghost job.

The checker looks for these patterns — and now so can you. One flag is a reason to slow down; several together is a reason to walk away.

  • Asks for money

    Any “registration fee”, “training kit”, “equipment deposit”, or “processing charge” to start. Real employers pay you — never the reverse.

  • Wants sensitive data early

    Bank details, Aadhaar/SSN, PAN, or a copy of your ID before any real interview or offer. That’s identity-theft bait.

  • Too good to be true

    “Earn ₹80,000/week from home, no experience” or pay wildly above market for trivial work. Unrealistic comp is the oldest tell.

  • No verifiable company

    No real website, no LinkedIn presence, a free email domain (gmail/outlook), or a name you can’t find anywhere.

  • Offer with no interview

    A “selected!” message you never applied for, or an offer after a 5-minute chat. Legitimate hiring doesn’t work that way.

  • Off-platform & urgent

    Pushed onto WhatsApp/Telegram immediately, with pressure to “confirm fast” or “seats are filling.” Urgency is a manipulation tactic.

  • Weird “tasks”

    Reshipping packages, cashing/forwarding cheques, buying gift cards, or crypto “investments.” These are money-laundering or theft schemes.

  • Ghost job

    A posting that’s been live for months and reposted repeatedly — often no real intent to hire (pipeline-building or “always-on” reqs).

FAQ

Common questions.

Is the scam checker free?
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, and nothing is stored. Paste, read the result, move on.
What’s a “ghost job”?
A posting with little or no real intent to hire — left up to build a résumé pipeline, satisfy a policy, or look like the company is growing. You apply and never hear back. The checker flags signals of this (e.g., evergreen reposts, vague specifics).
Can the checker be wrong?
It’s guidance, not a verdict. It surfaces patterns common to scams and ghost jobs, but a clean result isn’t a guarantee and a flag isn’t proof. Use it alongside your own checks — search the company, verify the recruiter, never pay to work.
A posting got flagged — what should I do?
Don’t pay anything or share IDs/bank details. Search the company + “scam”, find the role on the company’s own careers site, and verify the recruiter on LinkedIn. If it’s off-platform and urgent, treat that as a strong warning.
Do you report scams to anyone?
No — it’s a private, stateless tool. Report confirmed scams to the platform you saw them on and your local cyber-crime / consumer-protection authority.

Why this exists

Fake postings, “pay-to-start” schemes, and ghost jobs waste the time of millions of job-seekers — and the people most targeted are those who can least afford it. This checker is free and stores nothing. If a role checks out, tailor your résumé to it and apply with confidence.
