Type of a scam Employment

Hi there,

I believe this company is scam and I will tell you why.

They found my resume on indeed.ca and sent me the email below that I was hired. They never interviewed me. It was unusual and I started to ask questions. According to them, I was the best candidate. Nobody seem to know them and I couldn’t find them online.(that worried me). When I google or linkedin them, I would find a different company with similar name. GOA. But but they call themselves GOP Federation or GOP opportunities Federation.

I became concerned because my resume has my full name, telephone, email etc.

The hiring manager told me to communicate via telegram messenger. Then she started talking about money and getting Hostel for students arriving to Halifax. I told her they may communicate with the Hostels directly. I was a victim for fraud, and I can’t help.

THE MOMENT SHE HEARD FRAUD, She disappeared from Telegram messenger chat.

I called 211 – to inquire if they can confirm – whether the company is fraud or not. They told me to contact you.

Please see the email they sent me for the job below.

Type of a scam Employment

After posting my resume on job search portal (Indeed) I was contacted by GOP Federation / Global Opportunities Federation regarding a admin assistant position in their upcoming Calgary office. They promised reasonable pay and benefits and offered to hired me right off the bet with no interview. The scam is identical to the one reported by Global News in 2018: https://globalnews.ca/news/4303918/gta-woman-says-she-was-scammed-by-fake-job-po… They simply changed their company name. The phone number has a generic voice mail and their website is perpetually under "scheduled maintenance". This is not an elaborate scam, but simple and potentially is the fake money transfer fails then identity theft based on the information collected by them from your "employment contract".
