Out of Business:
I attempted to contact the business regarding returned mail (SBQ). Phone number was in service but I could not make contact. I was also unable to leave a voice mail. I applied SBQ Action Step 406, modified eBindr to reflect the business's status and added the appropriate text and RCode.
Alert:
BBB's investigation into this business indicates that it may be operating an employment scam.
How some employment scams work:
- You receive an employment offer from a company that may be opening up a new office in your area and needs assistance.
- In most cases you are contacted even without applying for the job. The company may find your resume on job sites like Monster, Indeed, etc.
- If you indicate interest in the job you receive a cheque (which could also be a traveller's cheque) in the mail with instructions. The company may also offer to send funds via Interac E-Transfer or BitCoin.
- You are instructed to deposit or cash the cheque and keep a portion of the funds as your first week's salary.
- Most of the remaining funds are to be used to send a money transfer (BitCoin, E-Transfer, Western Union, etc.) for equipment, rent, office supplies, etc. Alternatively, you may be requested to deposit cash directly into another individuals bank account.
- Eventually the initial payment is found to be fraudulent, and you are held accountable to pay for the funds that were transferred.
By law, banks must make the funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake cheque or e-transfer can take weeks. It may seem that the funds have cleared and that the money has posted to the account, but when the payment turns out to be fake, the person who deposited the funds and wired the money will be responsible for paying back the bank.
BBB suggests consumers exercise extreme caution when responding to unsolicited mail, email, and text messages with high-paying job offers.
- Reputable companies are not going to offer you a role without interviewing you first. Never, ever accept a job offer that has come through via email, when you have never had a telephonic or face-to-face interview.
- If the company offers you a salary that is completely out of your range, and experience, you are probably in the process of being scammed. Any legitimate employer will evaluate your skill set and experience, before deciding on what you are worth.
- Employers will never send a cheque or payment before work has been performed. If you are instructed to cash a cheque and send the funds elsewhere, it's a scam.
