Deepak Singh Nijjer · Victoria, BC · $25.00 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud signals. The employer is an individual (not a registered company) using a residential apartment address in Saanich for a professional caregiver role, combined with a requirement to mail physical resumes—a classic pattern for fraudulent job postings. The lack of a business website, no verifiable business registration, and the residential application address create a high-risk profile despite reasonable salary and detailed job description.

Residential application address for professional role+40
applicationAddressType=residential; mailing address (4354 Shelbourne St, Victoria V8N 3G3) is in a residential area with multi-unit apartment buildings, not a commercial office
Mail physical resume requirement+20
Application method is 'By mail' to residential address; requesting physical resume submission is a strong fraud indicator for caregiver/professional roles
Individual posting, not registered company+15
Employer 'Deepak Singh Nijjer' appears to be an individual, not a registered business entity; no official business website found
No verifiable business presence+12
websiteUrl=null; businessMatch=uncertain; no jobs listing found; confidence score only 0.35
Location match confirmed-5
locationMatch=match; address does resolve to Victoria, BC as claimed
Detailed job description and legitimate NOC code-8
Posting includes specific NOC code (44101), detailed tasks, education requirements, and youth support benefits; salary ($25/hr) is reasonable for the role

The mailing address (4354 Shelbourne St, Victoria V8N 3G3) is in a residential area of Saanich with multi-unit apartment buildings, not a commercial office. This is a RED FLAG for a professional role—using a residential address instead of a business office is concerning for legitimacy."
