To verify an employer before accepting a job offer: (1) look up the company in the Secretary of State business registry where it claims to be based — confirm an ACTIVE registration, formation date, and registered agent; (2) check the email/website domain age — recruiters from a domain registered days ago is a top fake-job-fraud signal; (3) if they claim to be public, confirm SEC filings exist (EDGAR); (4) confirm the recruiter's email is on the company's real domain, not a free webmail or look-alike. Real employers have a registered legal entity, a domain older than the 'job posting', and verifiable filings if they claim to be public.

AI-generated fake job postings and recruiter impersonation surged in 2026 — a polished careers page and a confident "recruiter" cost nothing to fabricate. The cheapest thing a fraudster cannot fake is a years-old Secretary-of-State registration and a years-old domain. That asymmetry is the check.
Each of these is a signal to verify directly, not proof of fraud. Use the official channels and confirm before deciding.
