Frequently asked questions
Is a job offer on WhatsApp real or a scam?
Be very cautious. Genuine employers rarely send unsolicited offers over WhatsApp, especially for high pay and simple tasks. If you did not apply, treat it as suspicious and run the message through our free ScamShield check before you reply.
What should I do if a WhatsApp recruiter asks for money?
Stop immediately. No legitimate job asks you to pay a fee, a deposit, or a registration charge to start. Do not send money or share your bank or UPI details. Block and report the number.
How do I verify a recruiter who contacted me on WhatsApp?
Ask for the company name and official website, then confirm the recruiter email uses that company domain rather than free webmail. Search the company name with the word scam. ScamShield can do this analysis for you in seconds.
