Check a job offer is real in minutes
You can check most job offers in minutes, for free. Read the posting on RealRole, confirm the company through its own official site, and if the job asks you to connect a wallet or sign anything, scan it first with Recon so you see in plain words what you would approve. Skip these: any fee to start, any 'meeting app' or test file a recruiter sends.

Chapter 1
Who knew?
Many crypto job scams steal through one signature, not a payment.
Task scams often pay you a small amount first to win trust before asking you to deposit.
A real company's domain, ENS name and onchain address can be checked in public.
A request to install a 'meeting app' or run a 'coding test' file is a common way to plant wallet-stealing malware.
You need a lawyer or paid background check.
RealRole is free to read; Recon costs about 0.1 USDT per scan on X Layer. Checking a domain or company register is usually free.

Questions
Should I ever pay to start a job?
No. Real employers do not charge you to start, and a fee request is a strong sign of a scam.
Why would a job ask me to connect a wallet?
Usually to steal; scan the request with Recon and verify the company before you sign anything.
How do I check the company behind a job post?
Use the company's official website and contacts, or RealRole, never only links sent in the message.
What if I already signed something for a fake job?
Revoke approvals with a free tool such as Revoke.cash and move remaining funds to a new wallet.
What if the best job you ever got started with you checking them as hard as they check you?
Some links are referral links; they never change what we recommend.
