Toloka Annotators · Victoria, British Columbia · $37,440 annually

applies via jobs.workable.com

Verdict

Toloka is a legitimate, well-funded multinational company with strong web presence and active careers page, which substantially mitigates fraud risk. However, the posting claims a Victoria, BC location while the company's actual offices are in Amsterdam, US, Israel, Switzerland, and Serbia—a clear geographic mismatch that raises moderate concern about job authenticity or misleading placement. The online-only application via Workable and absence of a physical mailing address are standard for remote/freelance roles and do not constitute fraud signals in this context.
