telecommunications technician

Worldwide · Langley, BC · $38.00 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud signals despite a legitimate-appearing employer website. The most critical red flag is the application address type being classified as a PO box (or virtual/non-business address), combined with a requirement to mail physical resumes for a technical role—a classic fraud pattern. The employer verification summary explicitly notes the mailing address resolves to a self-storage facility rather than a legitimate company office, which is highly suspicious. While the website is reachable and the business name matches, the address mismatch and application method together push this into the HIGH fraud-risk band.
