plumber helper

GURJAS ENTERPRISES · Victoria, BC · $25.00 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple moderate-to-strong fraud signals that collectively raise significant concern. The employer claims a Victoria location but directs applicants to mail resumes to a residential property in Saanich (3918 Ascot Dr), which differs from the company's registered business address in Duncan. The application address is classified as residential rather than business, a strong fraud indicator. Additionally, the location verification shows a mismatch between the claimed Victoria location and the registered business address. While the employer is a real, registered BC contractor with a legitimate business history, the use of a residential mailing address for job applications is atypical and suspicious for a construction firm.
