Beginner rule: Use AI as a patient helper, not as the final authority. Keep private details out, slow down before clicking, and check important information through official sources.

Short answer

How to check job offers, interview bots, and hiring messages that ask for money, documents, or banking information.

A simple everyday example

A fake recruiter may use polished AI messages and a chatbot interview to make the job feel real.

First safe prompt

Check this job interview message. List warning signs before I send documents, bank details, or fees.”

Useful examples

Use AI first for low-risk tasks. Replace names, addresses, account numbers, passwords, school names, medical details, and private family information with placeholders before pasting anything.

Step-by-step

Start with one clear task. Add only the background AI needs. Ask for a simple format. Read the answer slowly. Check names, dates, prices, rules, links, and instructions before acting.

Common beginner mistake

The most common mistake is letting AI sound too confident. AI can draft, explain, compare, organize, and prepare, but you should still make the final decision.

Safety note

Real employers do not usually require upfront fees. Verify the company, recruiter, email domain, and official job listing.

What to do next

Save the prompt if it works. Reuse it with safer placeholders. For money, health, legal, identity, school, or work decisions, confirm with an official source or trusted person.
