home support worker

Ting-Ting Chen household · Victoria, BC · $24.65 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud indicators. The employer "Ting-Ting Chen household" is a private household with no registered business entity, official website, or corporate presence—highly unusual for a professional caregiving role. The contact email uses a generic Gmail domain rather than a business address, and the web verification shows a business/location mismatch with no formal web presence. While the job description itself is detailed and legitimate-sounding, the combination of private household hiring, generic email contact, and lack of verifiable business structure creates substantial fraud risk.
