Your domain monitoring can be working perfectly while fake jobs still reach candidates
That sounds strange until you see how recruitment scams actually work.
A scammer may not create a fake company domain first.
They may post a fake role on a real job board.

Is the application URL approved?
Does the recruiter account look legitimate?
Do device, browser, network, and behavior signals suggest abuse?
