The “Job Scam Detector”

The “Job Scam Detector” is a free and easy-to-use digital tool designed to help job seekers identify and avoid online recruitment scams, as well as detect suspicious job postings before any harm occurs. As fake job advertisements—especially from online scammers—continue to spread across social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram, this tool provides a simple way to check whether a job posting is safe or potentially fraudulent. 

Users can upload an image or text from any suspicious job posting into the chatbot to verify whether it matches known scam patterns. Based on the submitted information, the tool will indicate whether the content is likely to be a scam, helping users make safer and more informed decisions. This detection tool helps protect you from becoming a victim of online fraud—or unintentionally becoming part of it. By promoting awareness and responsible sharing, the “Job Scam Detector” supports safer job searching and helps protect communities from online scams. Use this tool to help you make better and safer choices when considering new job opportunities.
