Reporting a Suspicious Opportunity

If an opportunity looks fake, misleading or dangerous, report it. Reports are confidential — the publisher is never told who reported them.

What counts as suspicious

• Asking for money to apply — application fees, "processing" fees, deposits. Legitimate opportunities do not charge you to apply.
• Too good to be true — huge pay for little work, guaranteed scholarships nobody has heard of.
• Urgency pressure — "pay today or lose your place".
• Requests for personal documents up front — copies of your ID, bank details or passwords before any real process.
• No verifiable source — the listing cannot be traced to a real organisation.

How to report

You can also report from the Support inbox with the Report a scam department, which is prioritised for review, or use the contact form if you cannot sign in.

1. Open the suspicious opportunity.
2. Use its report action.
3. Choose the reason that fits (scam or fraud, fake listing, misleading information).
4. Add anything you noticed — what made it look wrong helps the review.
5. Submit.

What happens after

The Xacheus team reviews the report and can remove the listing and restrict the publisher. Outcomes depend on the review — Xacheus does not promise a specific action or a fixed response time, but scam reports are prioritised.

Protect yourself in the meantime

• Stop all contact with the publisher.
• Do not send money, documents or codes.
• If you already paid or shared data, tell your bank or mobile money provider immediately, then report it here too: Reporting a scam or fraud.
