Offer an on-demand verification desk where providers forward suspicious inquiries, profiles, payment instructions, and screenshots for review. The service checks identity consistency, contact details, scam patterns, payment risk, and job plausibility, then returns a concise risk assessment and a safe response template. Begin with human-led investigations and turn recurring checks into standardized screening procedures.

Paid-lead marketplaces increasingly expose small providers to synthetic messages, off-platform payment scams, and low-cost automated outreach. Human-led screening can launch immediately while accumulating the examples needed for later productization.
