What
A free service that checks recruiter messages for scam patterns. Paste a message, get a verdict in seconds with the reasoning.
Why
Recruiter scams arrive at industrial scale. Checking each one by hand (domain age, company site, sender-vs-claimed-domain) works but takes time. This automates the checks. Every submission adds to a public corpus so the next person hitting the same scam gets an instant warning.
How
Two stages run on every submission:
- Deterministic checks. WHOIS for domain age, site fetch for real web presence, sender-vs-claimed-domain comparison, free-mail detection, lookup against prior reports.
- Automated judgment on the message text for patterns the rules cannot catch: crypto-payment, urgency, persona mismatch, code-review bait.
Final score is the sum of fired signal weights. A Confirmed scam verdict overrides the number when a previous user has reported the same domain or email.
