Job Listing and Recruiter Scam Detector

How It Works

Job scams have gotten sophisticated — fake company websites, spoofed email

domains, even fake video interviews. This skill checks a job listing or

recruiter outreach against known scam patterns: too-good-to-be-true pay,

upfront fees, requests for personal info before an interview, generic

email domains, and companies that don't check out.

What You Get

• Scam risk score: High / Medium / Low
• Red flag breakdown: which specific patterns triggered concerns
• Company verification: does the company exist, does the listing match their careers page?
• Recruiter verification: is this person on LinkedIn, do they work where they claim?
• Known scam pattern matching: advance-fee, check-forwarding, identity harvesting
• Recommended next steps based on risk level

Setup Steps

1. Paste the job listing, recruiter email, or text message
2. Optionally include the company name and recruiter name for verification
3. Your Claw analyzes against scam heuristics and verifies company details
4. Review the risk assessment before engaging further

Tips

• Never pay to apply for a job — legitimate employers don't charge application fees
• Be suspicious of interviews conducted only via text or Telegram
• Verify the recruiter exists on LinkedIn and actually works at the claimed company
• If they ask for your SSN or bank details before a formal offer letter, it's a scam
• Check if the email domain matches the company's actual website domain
• When in doubt, apply directly through the company's official careers page
