Total money lost $330
Type of a scam Employment
This lady named Caroline Dias uses Indeed.ca to find resumes, and offers people bogus work at a huge rate of pay, plus many promises such as increases, benefits and bonuses. She claims in an introductory email that EEIntercultural Affairs is opening an office "in your city" and is populating it with staff ahead of time. The opportunity is work-from-home at first. Duties are to create PowerPoint presentations about the area to ostensibly be shown to foreign students. There is no face-to-face interview or meeting with anyone. I got the job in 3 days, and my references were not called. I investigated her phone number which GPS’d to Vancouver, not Winnipeg. When I pressed for executive tier and revenue stream information, she didn’t answer my Telegram texts and claimed their
internet connection went down. After more digging, I found out from ScamPulse.com that this is a scam before she tried to launder money through me. Her trick is to e-transfer $3000 to your email address that you are asked to take to a local contact of her choosing, less $100 for your expenses. Then she calls your bank and tells them you tried to scam her, which will cause your bank to place a hold on your account. I found out about her before she got that far, and all I lost was a week’s pay from my former situation. You should always be wary if there is no interview, and requests for banking information. Stay clear of CAROLINE DIAS AND EE INTERCULTURAL AFFAIRS.
