Remote AI work scam checklist
Use this checklist before applying to remote AI work, especially when a listing is shared on social media, a forum, or a third-party page.
Short answer
The safer path is to verify the official source, current role detail, pay wording, eligibility, application channel, and whether anyone is asking for money or sensitive information out of sequence.

Run the checklist again when the channel changes
A verified role can still be followed by an impersonated recruiter or an unexpected form. Recheck the domain and organization whenever the process moves from a listing to email, an assessment, identity verification, a contract, or payment onboarding. A channel change is a verification point, not proof of fraud by itself.

FAQ
Can a real platform listing still change or close?
Yes. A listing can be real and still close, change pay, or change eligibility after it was checked.
