About

1 in 7 job seekers encounters a scam. Most don't find out until they've sent a résumé, sat through a fake interview, or paid a "background check deposit" that vanishes.

ScamShield scans job postings in ~3 seconds and tells you exactly what it found - before you waste a single hour.

───────────────────────────
WHAT YOU GET
───────────────────────────

Open any job posting. Click ScamShield. Get:

* A verdict - SAFE, SUSPICIOUS, or SCAM
* A risk score from 0 to 100
* The specific red flags that triggered it, in plain English

No security jargon. No guessing. Just a clear answer before you write the cover letter.

───────────────────────────
WHAT IT CATCHES
───────────────────────────

* Gmail address instead of a company domain
* "No interview - you're hired" language
* Salary far above market with vague requirements
* Upfront payment requests (deposits, equipment, training fees)
* Brand impersonation - fake Google, Amazon, and Meta recruiters
* Newly created accounts with no verifiable history
* Urgency pressure tactics and too-good-to-be-true offers

───────────────────────────
WHERE IT WORKS
───────────────────────────

* LinkedIn - job postings, recruiter profiles, and direct messages
* Indeed
* ZipRecruiter
* Glassdoor
* Upwork

───────────────────────────
FREE - NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
───────────────────────────

Unlimited job scans. No sign-up. No credit card. Works the moment you install it.

───────────────────────────
PRO - $4.99/MONTH
───────────────────────────

Adds recruiter profile scanning and DM scanning - for job hunters who want to vet every recruiter who reaches out, not just the listings they find.

───────────────────────────
YOUR PRIVACY
───────────────────────────

ScamShield reads only the content already visible in your browser tab. It does not scrape servers, automate actions on your behalf, or store personal information. Analysis is cached for 24 hours by content fingerprint only - your identity is never attached to a scan.

It behaves like a human reading the page. Nothing more.

───────────────────────────

Fake job postings are systematic. ScamShield is too.

Install free. Scan your next job before you apply.
