What it checks

Eight kinds of fake jobs. One check.

Job scams don't all look the same. FakeJobDetector looks for the signs of each kind and shows you which ones it found.

Upfront fees

Paying for training, a “starter kit”, or a check you must deposit to buy equipment.

Example: A $60 starter kit fee is required before your first shift.

Identity theft

Requests for your SSN, bank details or a photo of your ID before any interview.

Example: Send your SSN and a photo of your license to apply.

Money mule jobs

Moving money or reshipping packages through your own accounts and address.

Example: Receive client payments and wire them to our partners.

Fake recruiters

Free email addresses and look‑alike domains posing as well‑known companies.

Example: Reply to recruiting.hr.dept@gmail.com to schedule.

Too good to be true

Big pay for easy work, no experience needed, and pressure to act fast.

Example: Earn $1,500 a week from home. Start today!

Ghost jobs

Listings that collect résumés for roles that may never be filled.

Example: Always accepting applications for future openings.

Bait and switch

A job title that has little to do with the work actually described.

Example: “Marketing Coordinator”: commission‑only door‑to‑door sales.

Low-effort spam

Vague, copy-paste postings with no real company or job details.

Example: Easy job. Good pay. Message for details.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does FakeJobDetector do?

It reads a job posting and estimates how likely it is to be fake. It also lists the specific warning signs it found, such as a request for an upfront fee or a recruiter writing from a personal email address.

Is it free?

Yes. Joining the waitlist is free, and so is FakeJobDetector.

Can it catch every scam?

No tool can. FakeJobDetector shows you the warning signs it found and why each one matters, so you can decide for yourself. Before sharing personal or financial details, always check the company through its official website.

Why are there fake job postings?

Some are scams after your money or personal information. Others are "ghost jobs": listings posted to collect résumés or to make a company look like it is growing, with no real plan to hire.

What happens after I join the waitlist?

We'll email you when FakeJobDetector is ready, so you can be among the first to try it.
