Got the offer letter from a Gmail or Yahoo address? Real companies have their own email domain. If the letter came from anything other than an official company email, that is a problem.
We look up the company name to see if it actually exists and is registered in India. Scammers often use names that sound like real companies but are completely made up.
₹80,000 a month for a fresher with no experience? Sounds great but it is almost never real. We check if the salary offered actually makes sense for the role.
Any letter asking for a security deposit, registration fee or processing fee before joining is a scam. Full stop. We catch this immediately.
We have seen thousands of fake offer letters. Our AI knows exactly how they are written, the pressure they create, the urgency they push. If your letter follows those patterns, we will tell you.
Spelling mistakes, weird fonts, no company address, no HR contact. These are easy to miss when you are excited about a job. We check all of it so nothing slips past you.

Fake job offer letters are one of the most common scams hitting India right now. Every year thousands of job seekers, mostly freshers and young graduates, lose money to fraudsters who send professional looking letters from companies that either do not exist or have nothing to do with the letter.
ScamDekho's Fake Offer Letter Checker uses AI to read your uploaded offer letter and spot scam patterns. Upload the letter and you get a clear risk assessment within seconds.
Knowing the warning signs can save you from losing money and personal information. Here are the most common red flags our AI checks for:
Any company asking for a processing fee, security deposit or training charge before your first day is running a scam. Simple as that. Real employers never ask new hires to pay anything upfront.
If the offer letter came from a Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook address, be very careful. A real company has its own email domain like hr@companyname.com. Anyone can create a free email account and pretend to be an HR manager.
8 to 12 LPA for a fresher with zero experience and no proper interview? That is bait. Genuine companies assess candidates before making any offer, and the salary always matches the role and experience level.
Did you get an offer letter without a single interview, test or HR call? That is not how hiring works anywhere. If they skipped the entire process, the offer is almost certainly fake.
Accept within 24 hours or lose the offer. This line exists for one reason only, to stop you from taking time to verify anything. Real companies give you reasonable time to make a decision.
A genuine offer letter clearly mentions your role, department, reporting manager and responsibilities. If the letter is full of generic language and missing basic details, it was not written by a real HR team.
A fake offer letter can look almost identical to a real one. The difference is usually small but critical.
Most victims are freshers and the reason is straightforward. They are actively looking for work, they have not been through enough hiring processes to know what is normal, and a good looking offer genuinely excites them. Scammers know this and use it.
High salary, quick joining date, no interview. It feels like a lucky break. It is actually a setup designed to get money out of you before the excitement wears off and you start asking questions.
Do not respond immediately. Take a few minutes and do these things first.
Scammers frequently misuse the names of top Indian and multinational companies to send fake offer letters. Our AI powered tool can identify fraudulent letters impersonating these companies.
Cognizant gets misused more than almost any other company in job scams. The letters look real, the letterhead looks right, and the email sounds official until you notice it ends in gmail.com. If someone sent you a Cognizant offer, go to the official Cognizant careers website and verify it there before you do anything else.
TCS actually built their own verification tool for this exact problem. Take the offer reference number from the letter and check it on the TCS official website. If it does not show up there, it is fake. TCS has never asked any candidate for money and never will.
These four names show up constantly in fake offer letter complaints across India. If you got an offer from any of them, do not call the number mentioned in the letter. Find the official HR helpline yourself on the company website and verify from there.
Capgemini, Accenture, IBM, SpiceJet, Air India, Amazon, HDFC Bank, Reliance Jio, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Mahindra and Mahindra, Indigo Airlines and L&T are all regularly misused by scammers. Got a letter from any of these that feels slightly off? Upload it on ScamDekho and we will tell you straight away if something is wrong.
If you have identified a fake job offer letter or lost money, report immediately. Quick action increases recovery chances.
Visit cybercrime.gov.in and file a complaint or call the helpline at 1930. Also visit your nearest cyber cell police station with all documents: the offer letter, payment receipts, chat screenshots, and emails. If scammers misused a real company's name, inform them through their official website.
