This extension runs in the background, analyzing job descriptions and client metadata to highlight potential red flags before you even click. -WHO is this for? Great for users looking for: Upwork job search assistant, scam protection for freelancers, how to save connects on Upwork, and client hire rate analytics. -WHAT does it do? It visually highlights suspicious job cards with a red border and a warning badge. It calculates a "Risk Score" based on common scam patterns (e.g., asking for Telegram/WhatsApp, .exe files, payment unverified with $0 spent). -WHEN does it work? It works in real-time as you browse. Whether you are on the "Find Work" search page, "Best Matches" dashboard, or viewing a specific "Job Detail" page. -WHERE does it appear? Directly on the Upwork website. It integrates seamlessly into the UI without disrupting your workflow. -WHY should you install it? To stay safe and profitable. Scams are getting smarter; your tools should be too. Avoid phishing links, malware, and clients who never hire. (Current version is Free during the Open Beta period.) KEY FEATURES: 1. Visual Scam Detection -Jobs containing risky keywords (e.g., "Contact me on Telegram", "Kindly retyping", "Payment Security Deposit") are instantly marked with a glowing frame and a "POTENTIAL RISK" or "CAUTION" badge. This allows you to identify suspicious postings before spending a single second reading them. 2. Client Vetting Analysis -When viewing a specific job, the extension performs a deep analysis of the client’s public history. It alerts you to statistical anomalies that may indicate a low probability of a legitimate hire, such as: Extremely low hire rates (highlighting potential "ghost jobs"). Minimal spending history on new accounts. Discrepancies between task simplicity and unusually high pay rates. Low average hourly spend relative to the project type. 3. Integrated Risk Dashboard Track the safety of your current search results in real-time with a floating dashboard. It provides a live count of scanned, flagged, and safe jobs, helping you decide at a glance if a search page is worth your time. 4.
