What this tool checks (technical, not vibes)
It scores offers based on repeatable scam mechanics: pay-to-get-paid loops, “task optimization” scripts, fake-check workflows, off-platform recruitment, rushed identity collection, and remote-access requests (all common in work-from-home fraud patterns).
KPI: confirm the offer has (1) real company domain, (2) verifiable role, (3) formal contract + payroll path.

5 technical signals a job offer is fraudulent
Use these five checks before you reply: (1) payment requires you to front money, (2) “task” work involves clicking/boosting/optimizing with withdrawals locked behind deposits, (3) they send a check and demand money back, (4) interview is chat-only and moves you to Telegram/WhatsApp fast, (5) they request sensitive PII or remote-access tools before any formal offer.
KPI: if you see 2+ signals, stop and verify independently before doing anything else.
How to verify safely (without giving scammers your data)
Verify via independent paths: type the company domain manually, confirm the role exists on the official careers page, match recruiter emails to the company domain, and refuse any request to move money, buy equipment through their “vendor,” or install remote tools; if they pressure you, treat that pressure as part of the scam design.
KPI: your “verification time” should be under 10 minutes using only official channels.
Limitations (truth protocol)
This tool can’t prove legitimacy; it only flags common scam structures and suspicious patterns. A low score is not a guarantee—use it to decide when to pause, verify, and protect your identity.
KPI: never share SSN, bank logins, or send money based on a chat message—ever.
