Received a job offer from a recruiter in the Gulf? Check the website and the message below before you share documents or pay anything. Real employers do not charge candidates for jobs or visas.
Gulf Recruiter Fraud Checker
Checks a recruiter for scam signals and audits a website against Google policies. Runs in your browser.
Add optional API keys (Google Cloud, VirusTotal)
Without a key, that blacklist check is skipped. Use the verification links in the report instead. Keys stay in your browser and are never stored.
Google policy audit: reads the site’s public pages through Jina Reader and runs Google PageSpeed, so the website address is sent to both.
Privacy: only the domain name is sent to public DNS, registry and security services (Mozilla Observatory, urlscan.io, Spamhaus), and Mozilla keeps a public scan history for the domain. With keys added, the address is sent to Google or VirusTotal. Your pasted text never leaves your browser.
How to read the result
The score starts at 100 and loses points for each warning sign found. A site rated 5 stars or more with a good score is lower risk, but always confirm the employer independently. Never pay a fee to get a job.
