BBB received several Scam Tracker reports about an employment offer from Aivory Technology Consulting, a company based in North Vancouver, BC. Consumer applied an online form on Indeed and was hired afterwards. The employer contacted the consumer and asked for a direct deposit and other information. Throughout the day the employer told the consumer what was going to happen where they had to fill up the account and that they had a financial department send money directly to my account, which he/she had received initially, however there were issues when depositing it into the account.The victim had to go to a Bitcoin terminal and made a deposit, where he was told that he would get reimbursed the following day.The victim was not able to hear back from the employer again.
BBB also reached out to the business with letters on May 25,2021 and June 4, 2021 to confirm details about their business location and hiring process. BBB also contacted the District of North Vancouver on May 25,2021 to verify if there is a business licence connected to the company’s listed address. However, the City does not have any records for this address.
As of July 6, 2021, BBB has not received a response from Aivory Technology Consulting. The website for the company, https://aivory.ca/index.html is not working.
BBB is recommending the following tips to jobseekers who receive unsolicited communication about a job offer from an unknown company:
- Always be wary of work-from-home or secret shopper positions, or any job with a generic title such as caregiver, administrative assistant, or customer service rep. Scammers are notorious for using positions that don't require special training or licensing to attract potential applicants.
- You may be an excellent candidate for the job, but beware of offers made without an interview. A real company will want to talk to a candidate before hiring.
- Don't fall for an overpayment scam. No legitimate job would ever overpay an employee and ask for money to be wired elsewhere.
