Type of a scam Employment
I was contacted by email directly from an organization called Broadway Staffing solutions which viewed my resume on Indeed. I proceeded with the application as usual. All communication was conducted through email only. They are really adamant only having contact through email only. As the application proceeded I found a few things to be out of the ordinary. I immediately noticed the website was a fake especially with the photos of their personnel. I even know the website they used to obtain photos of their so-called employees. I called the phone number provided on the application and it would go dead, not even an answering machine. I even called during their stated business hours which is 9-5 and still the line went dead. I looked up the Mississauga address provided on the application and the address appears to need a unit number for it to be valid.
I was emailed an employment agreement form in which case i had requested to speak to a real person. I was sent an email in response to my request which stated i have to sign the form and then Mary Patterson would reach out by phone. I replied that I would not be signing anything unless I speak with a person, specifically Mary Patterson. It’s been most 2 weeks since and nobody has contacted by email or phone.
According to the emails. I was communicating with Mary Patterson. I honestly believe there is no such individual.
The person that was communicating with me is not a native English speaker. With a name like Mary Patterson it is highly unlikely for major grammatical errors to occur.
I also noticed that the website bssinc.ca was registered on a server June 17th 2020 which happens to be a whole 6 days before I was contacted for a job opening, which is strange because according the website they have been in business for the last 5 years.
If they truly have been in business for that long the company would have much more of a presence on the internet. I had a hard time finding any information about the company and what they actually do as an organization.
I am more than happy to send the rams that were sent to me by broadway staffing solutions
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing this! The same thing is happening to me right now! Mary Patterson has reached me saying the same things and I just sent a secreenshot of my diploma and filled out the application form. I don’t know what to do. I thought it was a scam but I saw the website and the email address looked legit. Do you have any recommendations?
Not a single employee of theirs has an online presence and all of the profile images provided are generic office worker stock images. I found both ‘ROBIN BEN’ and ‘JOSEPH DELEON’ in the same simple google search.
