Fraud PreventedReport in 4 minutes

A Singapore-based fintech startup was about to sign a $240K revenue-sharing agreement with a consultant who claimed 10 years of industry experience. A ChaJi Global investigation revealed the consultant had a history of public disputes with former clients, fabricated LinkedIn endorsements, and posts from a personal Twitter account showing active involvement in a competing venture — a direct conflict of interest never disclosed.

Key Findings
  • LinkedIn employment history inconsistent with claimed industry background
  • Twitter timeline showed ongoing role at competitor during claimed full-time consulting period
  • Three public disputes with former clients identified across social platforms
  • Account age discrepancy: 'established' professional created LinkedIn in 2022
Outcome

The startup declined the partnership and avoided a contract that would have included exclusivity clauses. Independent legal review confirmed the discovered conflict of interest would have voided their existing agreements.

Identified Resume Fraud Before Offer

Bad Hire AvoidedReport in 3 minutes

A Toronto SaaS company was hiring a remote senior engineer. The candidate presented an impressive resume including Stanford CS and Google experience. A ChaJi Global check before the offer letter revealed a GitHub profile inconsistent with claimed technical expertise, and a LinkedIn profile created weeks after the application date — suggesting the profile was created specifically to match the job posting.

Key Findings
  • LinkedIn profile created 3 weeks before job application — not an established professional presence
  • GitHub activity showed beginner-level commits inconsistent with claimed 8 years of experience
  • Claimed Google employment not reflected in any professional or alumni network activity
  • Twitter activity during claimed employment hours showed gaming and streaming patterns
Outcome

The company rejected the candidate before the reference check stage. HR team estimated the investigation saved approximately $35,000 in onboarding and severance costs that would have followed discovery.
