Abstract

The proliferation of online internship advertising has been accompanied by a parallel rise in fraudulent internship solicitations that extract registration fees, harvest personal data, or impersonate reputed organizations through visually deceptive company names. Conventional detection mechanisms rely on static keyword matching and are easily circumvented by character-substitution tricks (e.g., “rnicrosoft” for “microsoft”) and by offers that borrow a legitimate company’s name without authorization. This paper presents VeriIntern AI, a multi-layer fusion framework that evaluates internship offers along four independent dimensions: (i) linguistic signal analysis using a TF-IDF-based machine learning classifier with a negation-aware keyword fallback, (ii) corporate identity verification incorporating homoglyph normalization and fuzzy string matching against a curated database of over 200 verified organizations, (iii) URL and domain risk assessment using TLD, WHOIS, and structural pattern heuristics, and (iv) a real-time web intelligence agent that queries the Wikipedia MediaWiki API to validate organizational existence and detect scam contradictions, such as a verified company name paired with an illegitimate payment demand. The four layers are combined through a weighted fusion engine (50% web intelligence, 20% identity verification, 15% network safety, 15% ML classification) with explicit override rules for high-confidence edge cases. The system returns a binary verdict (legitimate or inauthentic), a confidence percentage, and a transparent reasoning report. The framework is implemented as a Flask-based web application with a dark glassmorphism dashboard and is deployed as a publicly accessible service, demonstrating the feasibility of combining lightweight ML, rule-based heuristics, and open knowledge bases to address a growing form of student-targeted fraud.

Full Article/Conclusion

This Paper Presented Veriintern Ai, A Multi-Layer Fusion Framework For Detecting Fraudulent Internship Offers That Combines Linguistic Pattern Analysis, Homoglyph-Aware Identity Verification, Url And Domain Risk Assessment, And Real-Time Web Intelligence Into A Single Weighted Decision Engine With Explicit Override Logic. The System’s Central Contribution Is Its Resolution Of The Identity–Intent Contradiction Problem, In Which A Scam Offer Borrows The Unaltered Name Of A Genuine Organization While Simultaneously Demanding An Illegitimate Payment — A Case That Defeats Detection Approaches Relying On Identity Verification Or Keyword Matching In Isolation. By Fusing Four Independent Analytical Signals And Applying Targeted Override Rules For High-Confidence Edge Cases, The System Aims To Reliably Flag Both Visual Impersonation Attacks And Contradiction-Based Scams While Minimizing False Positives Against Legitimate Recruitment Language.   Future Work Includes Expanding The Verified-Company Database Through Automated Ingestion From Corporate Registries, Incorporating Additional Knowledge-Base Sources Beyond Wikipedia To Improve Coverage Of Regional And Smaller Organizations, Conducting A Quantitative Evaluation Against A Labeled Corpus Of Real And Fraudulent Internship Offers To Establish Formal Precision And Recall Metrics, And Extending The System As A Browser Extension Or Mobile Application To Provide Real-Time Protection At The Point Where Students First Encounter Internship Solicitations.
