personal support aide - home aide

FERN YUEN · Victoria, BC · $24.65 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud indicators. The employer "FERN YUEN" appears to be an individual name rather than a registered business, with a residential address (3309 University Woods, Oak Bay) used as the application mailing address instead of a commercial office. The combination of a residential applicationAddressType, mail_physical_resume requirement, and lack of verifiable business presence creates a high-risk profile typical of fraudulent home care recruitment schemes.
