- Some positions are more likely to be scams. Always be wary of work-from-home, package reshipment, and secret shopper positions, as well as any job with a generic title such as caregiver, administrative assistant, or customer service rep. Positions that don't require special training or licensing appeal to a wide range of applicants. Scammers know this and use these otherwise legitimate titles in their fake ads. If the job posting is for a well-known brand, check the real company's job page to see if the position is posted there. Look online; if the job comes up in other cities with the exact same post, it's likely a scam.
- Different procedures should raise your suspicion. Any sort of pressure to sign or onboard is a red flag, as legitimate companies will understand that employment choices are big decisions. Watch out for on-the-spot job offers. You may be an excellent candidate for the job, but beware of offers made without an interview. A real company will want to talk to a candidate before hiring. Be careful if a company promises you great opportunities or a big income under the condition that you pay for coaching, training, certifications or directories.
- Never deposit unexpected or fishy checks. Be cautious sharing any kind of personal information (including your banking and credit cards) or accepting any kind of pre-payment. Don't fall for an overpayment scam; no legitimate job would ever overpay an employee and ask for money to be wired elsewhere.
- Government agencies post all jobs publicly and freely. The U.S. and Canadian federal governments and the U.S. Postal Service/Canada Postal Service never charge for information about jobs or applications for jobs. Be wary of any offer to give you special access or guarantee you a job for a fee - if you are paying for the promise of a job, it's probably a scam.
Get all details and contracts in writing. A legitimate recruiter will provide you with a complete contract for their services with cost, what you get, who pays (you or the employer), and what happens if you do not find a job. BBB conducted an investigation based on recent consumer complaints and/or BBB Scam Tracker Reports to determine this business/website(s) is operating an Employment Scam.
This BBB business profile includes all similar business names, addresses, phone numbers and/or websites that came to BBB's attention.
*Scammers use a physical address to appear more legitimate. The address usually has no connection to the scam business.

Investigation Details:
Since December 2021, BBB started to receive complaints and/or BBB Scam Tracker Report(s), alleging the business hired them for a remote marketing position but wanted them to deposit a check into their own account and pay another "business" $1900 on behalf. When the recruit did not feel comfortable and requested to terminate their employment, the business threatened legal action and claimed they could not terminate employment for 30 days.

BBB found that the scammer is fraudulently using another business's identity, this profile reflects the imposter's information and reports received.
