Beware of SCAMS to get a job in Canada!

George1978 · Jul 2, 2016

Hi,
I know that this is an old posting.I had an experience last week.Thought of informing others.I applied for a data entry job on indeed and got a reply that the post was filled.But they have a financial manager post for me.

Their customers will send fund to my bank account through Interac E transfer.For that I should have a personal bank account with banks like TD,BMO etc.I receive that money then take 5% commission and send the rest to my employer by western union money transfer.They are offering 1800 CAD salary + commission.The monthly transaction will be between 14000 CAD to 90000 CAD.

The company is in Russia and they are shipping building materials to Canada.They have a web site.Product etc.Every thing looks authentic.

But I felt red flag.My first doubt was whether they are trying to avoid some kind of tax.Or make black money white.I don't want to do anything illegal.So didn't respond.Later when I checked online I got feedbacks of similar scams.

They will send you cheque .You deposit it in your back account.Bank will clear the cheque.You then send the money to employer through western union.After few days bank will inform that the cheque bounced because there was no fund.

But this was the case few yearsbback. Now they are telling Interac E transfer.As far as I understand there wont be any cheque bouncing or no fund for Interac E tranfer.So what is the catch?Any idea?Please advise.

Thank You

If you are in the position of having to ask "what is the catch", you are exactly the sort of person that they are looking for.
Run away, don't look back. Seriously.....

This is money laundering and you would become a "mule" at best. At worst, you could end up in prison for fraud.

Beware: Green Dot Construction is a fraudulent scam company.

I answered posting on Craigslist for administrative position job. I got called by Greg Adams 226 504 0866 from Green Dot Construction, London ON, and had phone interview.
Few days later received email from grega@greendotconstructionltd.com confirming I got the job.
Than after that received another email instructing me I will have to purchase office supplies for new office opening downtown Vancouver and will be sent cheque for it.
After receiving cheque for $5,000.00, issued by The Manulife Canadian Property Portfolio. I deposited cheque into my bank account as instructed, by taking a photo of the cheque. Also I was asked to send picture/email of deposit receipt for record purposes.
Same day received email from Greg Adams acknowledging I deposited cheque and asking to let him know when it clears.

Few days later informed by the bank that cheque has returned as counterfeit.
Emailed Greg Adams same day and told him cheque has returned. He never answered email or calls to his cell or alleged company at 519 266 6731

Researching on line I found www.greendotconstructionltd.com website seems to exist but there are no other records of this company operating anywhere so I suspect it is fake company for processing counterfeit cheques and/or using expenses receipts for committing tax fraud.
I still have all email correspondence, as well as original letter and cheque.

I only lost $4.00 for returned cheque fee, but I think it is important to let others know about this because it is a counterfeit item and most likely they are going to be doing this to other people.

This scam is probably 15 years old now. What they typically ask people to do next is transfer any extra money. The person transfers the money, the the cheque bounces, and they are left being responsible for the difference.

Lucky you were only hit for $4.

This is very very fake. I mean $11,400 a month! Free accommodation, internet and 6 weeks vacation a year. I'm sorry but you shouldn't need to ask if this is true or not. Do not send any money or documentation.

Bs65 · Sep 4, 2018

Don’t forget the 93600 living allowance (1800 a week) on top of the 147600 salary, free accomodation as well, where do I sign up !!! Ah maybe not as no free ‘feeding’ included that would put me off !!

One of the more ridiculous scam offers ever seen here. Simply unbelievable that these scammers produce such ridiculous offers but I guess there are still plenty of gullible people to make worth while.
