Verdict

Mindrift is a real AI-training freelance platform operated by Toloka (mindrift.ai, apply.workable.com/toloka-ai) — not a scam, but this is gig/task work with no employment contract or guaranteed hours, marketed on WorkBC with an annualized 'salary' ($93,600) that misrepresents pay-per-task freelance work. No BC office exists; the 'British Columbia' location is just a remote-targeting label. Application via Workable is a known ATS. Misleading but not fraudulent.

Summary	Mindrift is Toloka AI's freelance AI-training platform; legitimate with verified payouts, but it recruits independent contributors for per-task work, not salaried employees. The fixed annual salary in the posting overstates what is variable gig income. Apply via Workable. Low fraud risk, mild misrepresentation risk.
