cook

Alderaan Hospitality limited · Victoria, BC · $21.20 hourly

Verdict

Alderaan Hospitality is a legitimate, verified restaurant group operating multiple venues in Victoria with a reachable website and confirmed business match. However, the posting exhibits a critical red flag: applicants are instructed to mail physical resumes to a residential townhouse (524 Crossandra Crescent, Saanich) rather than the company's actual business office at the DoubleTree Hilton downtown. Combined with the requirement for physical mail submission for a cook role, this mismatch between the verified business location and the residential application address is a strong fraud signal suggesting potential credential harvesting or identity theft risk.
