Ottavio Italian Bakery and Delicatessen · Victoria, BC · $21.25 hourly

Verdict

This posting presents a critical address mismatch that strongly suggests fraud or severe negligence. While Ottavio Italian Bakery is a real, established business in Victoria with a reachable website and matching business name, the application address (2656 Quadra St) belongs to a completely different restaurant (Part & Parcel). Combined with the requirement to mail physical resumes to this incorrect address, this creates a high-risk scenario where applicants would send materials to the wrong business. The location mismatch between the employer's actual address and the application address is a hallmark fraud signal.
