light duty cleaner

VIRGO CLEANING SERVICES LTD · Victoria, BC · $21.00 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud indicators. The employer claims a business address but verification reveals it is a residential home, not a commercial office. The contact email uses a free consumer domain (Yahoo) rather than a company domain. No official website exists, and the employer verification summary notes significant red flags including a dissolved UK company with the same name. While the job description itself is detailed and legitimate-sounding, the structural and verification failures strongly suggest this is a fraudulent or deceptive posting.

No official website found; employer verification confidence only 0.35. Unable to verify legitimate business presence online.
dissolved_company_history+12
A UK-registered company with the same name (Virgo Cleaning Services Ltd) was dissolved in 2019, raising questions about legitimacy and continuity.
reasonable_salary_and_terms-8
$21.00/hour for light duty cleaning in Victoria is market-appropriate; permanent full-time position with flexible hours is plausible.
detailed_job_description-15
Posting includes comprehensive NOC classification, detailed task list, work conditions, personal suitability requirements, and support programs—consistent with legitimate WorkBC postings.
