movement therapist

Free Spirit Botanicals Ltd · Victoria, BC · $40.00 to $42.00 hourly (to be negotiated)

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud indicators despite the employer being a real, established company. The use of a generic Gmail address (freespiritvictoriabotanicals@gmail.com) rather than the company's official email, combined with the employer verification summary noting the posting may be impersonating the legitimate company, suggests account compromise or fraudulent impersonation. The mismatch between company size (1 employee) and the full-time therapist role further undermines credibility.
