Type of a scam Employment
The person who discovered this scam was looking for work online and the scammer posted in Freelancer.com that their company is looking for persons based in Toronto, Canada. The scammer provided his email address and instructed interested applicants to email him directly. The person emailed the scammer and the scammer just asked a few questions about job experiences and immediately sent a copy of the contract stating that the given rate will be Ca$18/hour. So the victim signed the contract. Take note all communications are via email. But the scammer often calls the victim at their house. The scammer has a different accent like that of a russian. The victim wanted to drop by at the scammer’s office in downtown Toronto but the scammer changes the subject and directs it towards the "so-called" training. The victim sent a copy of her driver’s license. The victim is already doubtful and decided to back out but the scammer already sent the first package to the victim’s house. The victim having read this article on EGrid on a later date, wanted to know what to do with the package. The victim does not want to get involve with the scam and decides to send back the package to the origin. Kindly advise.
