TrustIntern: Scam detective for internship offers

Description and use

TrustIntern is a tool that lets students and institutions verify internship offers using AI planning with Gemma 4, fixed checks, and an explainable risk score.

Problem

Students in India receive fraudulent internship offers demanding upfront fees and personal data, often without verification.

Outcome

TrustIntern assigns a risk score (e.g., 80/100 for a fake offer) based on fixed indicators, provides evidence for each point, and outputs a downloadable PDF report, enabling students and institutions to avoid scams.

Workflow

• Paste company name, recruiter email, website, message, and offer letter PDF/screenshot into TrustIntern.
• Run fixed checkers (email domain, RDAP domain age, website, message wording).
• Gemma 4 planner selects research agents (company, recruiter, complaints, domain, document, follow‑up).
• Gemma 4 vision reads offer letter or screenshot for inconsistencies.
• Deterministic scoring aggregates fixed indicator points into a risk score.
• Generate PDF report with evidence and score breakdown.
• Share report with students, colleges, job boards, or for post‑mortem investigations.

Evidence

TrustIntern then: runs fixed checks (email domain vs. company, domain age via RDAP, the website itself, the wording of the message)
