Inspiration

Every day, thousands of students and freshers fall victim to fake job scams on online recruitment portals. Fraudulent entities pose as real employers to steal money through registration fees, medical check-up charges, or training fees. We built this project to act as a digital shield for job seekers, ensuring nobody loses their hard-earned money while searching for employment.

What it does

Our project is an AI-powered verification platform that protects job seekers by identifying scam employment patterns. It analyzes employer details and verifies company status using simulated government checkpoints (GST/CIN status). It also includes a natural language processing (NLP) scam message scanner and a browser extension model to alert users directly on popular job websites.

Key Features

  • GST & CIN Verification Simulation: Cross-checks company registration details to ensure the employer is legally active.
  • AI Fraud Message Scanner: Uses NLP to scan emails, WhatsApp messages, or job descriptions for scam flags (e.g., upfront payment demands).
  • Chrome Extension UI: Visualizes real-time safety scores directly on job application portals.
  • Student Safety Dashboard: Provides users with a clear visual index of Safe, Caution, and Danger job alerts.
