Service Description
CheckJobScam provides a free AI-powered tool to help identify potential job scams, along with educational content about employment fraud in South Africa.
Disclaimer
No Guarantee of Accuracy
Our verification tool uses AI to analyse job postings against known scam patterns. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee:
- That every scam will be detected
- That legitimate opportunities won't be flagged
- That our risk assessments are always correct
- That information in our blog posts is complete or current
Our tool provides guidance, not definitive answers. Always conduct your own verification using official sources such as CIPC, company websites, and the Department of Labour.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, or professional advice. For legal matters, consult a qualified attorney. For financial losses, contact your bank and appropriate authorities.
Not a Law Enforcement Agency
We are not affiliated with SAPS, the Hawks, or any government agency. We cannot:
- Investigate individual scams
- Recover lost money
- Arrest or prosecute scammers
- Provide official verification of companies
If you've been scammed, please report to the appropriate authorities (see our reporting guide).
