Questions

Is this spam?

No. A message reaches you because somebody paid to reach people whose own description matched theirs — not because your address is on a list. Every message carries a stop link that never asks you to sign in, on every message, every time.

How is this different from a saved search or an alert?

Those match the words you gave them. This matches meaning: an alert about senior backend roles can match a broadcast that never uses those words, the way a person reading both would see the connection. It also runs the other way, which a saved search cannot — somebody can reach you because your words matched theirs, without either of you searching the same place.

Do I have to know what to search for?

You do not search at all. You describe what you want to be told about, once, and then you leave it. The searching happens on the broadcaster's side, when they pay to reach people like you.

What if nothing ever matches?

Then nothing arrives and nothing is charged — holding an alert is free whether it matches tomorrow or never. You will still hear from us weekly if you qualified for broadcasts and narrowly missed them, so silence is something you can tell apart from an alert quietly failing.

Can a broadcaster see my email address?

No. Replies route through a masked address in both directions. Worth reading the precise scope of that, because it is a promise about what the broadcaster can see and not a promise about encryption — it is set out on the privacy page.

Is my alert visible to anyone?

Not unless you turn that on. Alerts are private by default; opting into Explore publishes the description, the category and the country, never anything that resolves to you. Three categories can never be published this way at all.

What does it cost?

Nothing to describe alerts, ever. Broadcasting costs a flat fee per search plus a fee for each person actually reached, with worked examples on the pricing page — including what a search that matches nobody costs.

Can I do both?

Yes, on the same account, with no extra cost and no setting to change. Most accounts end up doing both.

What if my balance runs out?

The run does not start. Nothing here runs on credit and nothing bills you after the fact — a search will not begin unless the balance already covers the most that run could cost.

How do I stop hearing about something?

Every message has a link that deactivates that alert without a login. You can also deactivate or delete any alert from the account, block one broadcaster, block a whole category, or stop everything at once.

Something arrived that looks like a scam. What now?

Report it from the message. It reaches a moderator with the queue that reviews flagged content. If it is a public alert in Explore, reporting takes it out of Explore immediately — the review then decides whether it goes back, not whether it comes down.

Do you check that broadcasters are telling the truth?

Mostly no, and this is the answer worth reading carefully. Posting in investment needs a sending history first, and a broadcaster can send documents to earn a verified badge. But an ordinary job posting or apartment listing is not fact-checked before it sends. A match means the words fit what you asked for. It is not a statement that the offer behind them is real.

The longer answers live on pricing, privacy, refunds and acceptable use . If one of them disagrees with an answer here, the fuller page is the one that governs — and the disagreement is a bug worth reporting.
