telecommunications technician

Worldwide · Langley, BC · $38.00 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud signals despite the employer having a legitimate web presence. The application address is classified as a PO box (not a business office), combined with a requirement to mail physical resumes for a technical role—a classic scam pattern. The web verification explicitly flags that the listed mailing address is actually a self-storage facility, not a company office, which is highly suspicious. While the website appears legitimate and the job description is detailed, the address mismatch and mail-based application method for a technician role create substantial fraud risk.
