# ScamShield

> ScamShield is a free Chrome extension that detects job scams, fake recruiters, and fraudulent job postings in real time using AI. It scans LinkedIn profiles, recruiter DMs, and job postings on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, and Upwork — returning a SAFE, SUSPICIOUS, or SCAM verdict with specific red flags.

## What ScamShield Does

ScamShield analyzes 20+ scam signals per scan, including:
- Upfront payment requests (equipment fees, training deposits, background check fees)
- Generic flattery with no specific role or company named
- Requests to move conversations to WhatsApp or Telegram
- Auto-generated LinkedIn profile URLs suggesting throwaway accounts
- Thin account history with few connections
- Off-platform software installation requests
- Unrealistic salary offers for low-skill roles
- Part-time/full-time bait language

It returns a structured verdict (SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / SCAM), a risk score (0–100), specific red flags found, and safe signals detected.
