Total money lost $3,800

Type of a scam Employment

I applied for a customer service job on indeed.com. Received an email from Michael Cole, asking of I was intrested in a secret shoppers job for $300/ mission.

He asked for name, phone number, email address, home address and name of my bank in order to do a criminal check.

I then received a package with a cheque for $3800 along with a questionnaire about the experience at my bank (name of the teller, overall impression of the branch, customer service, etc..). I had to deposit it into my bank account, take $3400 out, keep $400 for me ($300 for the job and $100 for expenses) and deposit it into Chris Smith’s account at a scotiabank.

While doing it I had a feeling that something was wrong. Im now waiting in fear to see my bank account completely drawn out.

Type of a scam Employment

I was contacted by a person claiming to be HR, he said that they received my application for the Staff Quality Evaluator Position being offered on indeed. I went onto indeed and there was no job posting and no record of me every applying for a position. I was told that I had been selected and that if I was interested to provide them with my age, sex, address, phone and current employer. I was told I’d be given $300 for each assignment I completed (secret shopper). I looked at their website which is very minimal, I was also able to determine that the website has only been active for a month yet the company claims to have been around for 15 years.
