home support worker

Laurie O Hamm · Victoria, BC · $20.00 to $28.50 hourly (to be negotiated)

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud indicators. The employer "Laurie O Hamm" has no verifiable business registration, website, or official presence despite high-confidence searches—a critical red flag for a home support worker role requiring trust and credentials. The contact method is a personal email (me.com domain) rather than a business address, and no mailing address is provided for applications. While the job description itself is detailed and legitimate-sounding, the combination of an unverifiable employer identity, personal email contact, and absence of any business verification pushes this into the high-risk category.
