Three ways to check a message.

Fake offers arrive by email, by text and in direct messages. TruJob checks Gmail when you click its flag. For texts, WhatsApp and social messages, paste the message into TruJob, or select it and choose Check with TruJob.

  1. Open it

    Open a recruiter email in Gmail and click the TruJob flag in your toolbar. The panel opens beside the message and shows what it found.

    Email

  2. Select it

    Highlight the text of any message on a web page, right click, and choose Check with TruJob. It works on direct messages and job sites without TruJob reading the rest of the page.

    Any page

  3. Paste it

    Got the offer by text, WhatsApp or Telegram? Paste it into the TruJob panel and tell it where the message came from.

    Texts and apps

Test yourself. Can you spot the fake?

Same sender, same role, almost the same words. Some of the fakes haven't asked for anything yet. Five rounds. Read every character.

Made-up messages and illustrative scores. The quiz runs on this page and sends nothing anywhere. The extension checks the messages you actually receive, including who sent them and their links.

What the three results mean

Nothing flagged

No known scam pattern matched. That is not the same as safe, so verify the employer before you send money, documents or account details.

Worth checking

One or more warning signs. Real recruiters do some of these. Slow down and check the company yourself.

Suspicious

Several signs together, the pattern fake offers follow. Stop, don't pay, and report it if you choose.

Your messages stay yours.

Checks run in your browser. When a hiring email comes from a company's own web address, TruJob asks its lookup service how new that address is. Only the part after the @ is sent, and it is not stored. Read our commitment.

What the extension keeps

  • Which warning signs appeared
  • Which result it showed
  • Where the message came from, if you tell it

The free version needs no account. Paid plans in 2027 will hold your email address and plan, stored apart from your checks, so nothing links you to a message.

What it never keeps

  • The words of the message
  • Who sent it
  • Anything that links a check to you
  • Anything else in your inbox

Already sent money or documents?

This happens to careful people. Acting in the next few hours matters more than anything else. Do these in order, then read the full eleven steps.

  1. Stop sending anythingThey often ask for one more payment to release the first.
  2. Call the company you paid throughYour bank, card, payment app, or the gift card or wire company. Ask them to stop or reverse the payment.
  3. Protect your identityIf you sent ID or your Social Security number, go to IdentityTheft.gov and freeze your credit with the three bureaus. It is free.
  4. Report itTo the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, and to the FBI at IC3.gov if money moved. TruJob opens the official forms and you file them yourself. It never files or sends anything for you.
