Safety & Trust

We take safety seriously. Our platform is community-moderated with verified organizations and anti-scam measures.

How to Report Issues

If you see something that violates our policies, you can report it directly:

  • On listing pages: Click the "Report" link near the Apply button to report suspicious internships, scams, or policy violations
  • In messages: Use the report button within the messaging interface to flag harassment or inappropriate content
  • On organization pages: Report organizations that appear fraudulent or misrepresent themselves
  • General issues: Contact us with concerns that don't fit the above categories

How We Keep You Safe

🛡️ Verification System

Organizations can be domain-verified (matching email domain) or moderator-verified. Look for the green checkmark badge on verified organizations.

🔍 Community Moderation

All reports are reviewed by our moderation team. We take action on violations including removing listings, suspending accounts, and banning repeat offenders.

🤖 Automated Detection

We use pattern detection to flag suspicious content including requests for payment, personal information harvesting, and known scam patterns.

💰 No Payments

All internships must be unpaid and educational. We never process payments, so there's no financial risk. Any listing requesting payment is against our policies and should be reported.

🚩 Red Flags to Watch For

  • ⚠️Requests for payment, training fees, or "starter kits"
  • ⚠️Asking for sensitive personal information (SSN, bank details, passport)
  • ⚠️Promises of guaranteed paid positions after unpaid work
  • ⚠️Vague job descriptions with no clear educational component
  • ⚠️Pressure to make quick decisions or "act now"
  • ⚠️Communication outside the platform before acceptance
