A scam checker asks you to paste something a stranger sent you, so it is fair to ask what happens to that text. For most free checkers the honest answer is simple, but it is worth confirming, because a tool that quietly keeps or sells what you paste is working against the very thing it claims to protect.
The question that matters: does it keep your text?
A safe checker reads what you paste to score it, then does not store or sell it. Real Job Check works that way. It reads the posting to run its checks and does not keep the text or build a profile of you. There is no account, so you are not handing over an email to run a check. If a checker requires a signup, or is vague about what it does with your input, treat that as a reason to slow down.
What to remove before you paste
The job posting or recruiter message is what needs checking, not your own details. If the message includes things like your full name, phone number, or home address, delete those lines before you paste. You lose nothing from the check, because the scam signals live in the offer itself: the upfront payment, the fake check, the lookalike email domain, the push to WhatsApp. Keep the part that gets scored, drop the part that identifies you.
Free does not have to mean you are the product
On the open web, free often means your data is the payment. It does not have to be. A trust tool that sold what you paste would be a contradiction, so the right ones are paid for another way and keep your input private. That is the standard Real Job Check holds itself to: free checks, no signup, and nothing you paste stored or sold.
Check a job safely now
When you are ready, paste the posting, the link, or the recruiter's message into the free job checker. It gives you an evidence-backed verdict and the next step, without an account.
