Before you pay, before you pack, ask Scout.
Scout is Japahub's assistant for people moving abroad for work, study or a fresh start. It checks offers against evidence, helps you find routes that fit, and says so plainly when it does not know.
Watch a check from start to finish
A short walkthrough of Scout checking an offer and explaining what it found.
Evidence, not a verdict
- 01Japahub first
If the offer is already listed on Japahub, Scout tells you how the Japahub team rated it.
- 02It reads the offer
Scout opens the link, or reads the text you pasted.
- 03It screens for scam patterns
Fees before a job, untraceable payments, chat-app-only contact, guaranteed visas, pressure to hurry.
- 04It looks the organisation up
A web search to see whether the organisation is real and is who it says it is.
Every finding comes with its source, so you can check Scout's work yourself.
Four answers. None of them is a guarantee.
- The Japahub team has verified this listing
Only possible when people on the Japahub team have reviewed this exact listing. Scout never reaches it on its own.
- Some things here do not line up
At least one concern is worth checking before you go any further.
- We could not verify this
Not enough evidence either way. A page that looks fine is not proof that an offer is real.
- This matches known scam patterns
The offer looks like scams that have caught people before. Scout tells you what to do next.
Routes that fit your situation
Tell Scout what you want to do, your field, your budget and your timeline. It asks a few questions at a time, never a long form, and ends with two or three concrete pathways: why each one fits, what it takes, the first three steps, and what to watch out for.
For anything binding, Scout sends you to the embassy, the university or the programme itself.
Scout can remember your details if you agree, and you can delete them at any time.
What Scout will not do
- Tell you an offer is definitely safe
- Give legal or immigration advice
- Overrule the Japahub team's safety ratings
- Ask for your passport, card or bank details
Your conversations
Scout conversations are deleted 24 hours after your last message. Never share passport, card or bank numbers with anyone, Scout included.
- Is Scout free?
- Yes, for signed-in Japahub members, with a daily limit on messages and checks.
- Which languages does Scout speak?
- Scout replies in the language you write to it in. Japahub itself is available in English, French, Vietnamese and Amharic.
- Does Scout replace official advice?
- No. Scout describes options and evidence. Decisions about visas, admissions and jobs belong to the embassy, the university or the employer.
- What if Scout finds a scam?
- Do not pay or send documents. If the offer is listed on Japahub you can report it from the check, and the Japahub team will review it.
