BBB received several Scam Tracker reports about an employment offer from Maplebear Logistics on December 1, 2020 and two on December 17, 2020. The consumers alleged that they received an unsolicited email with a job offer.They never applied for this company for employment. The business asked them to download an app called Telegram in order to conduct the interview. One consumer said the employer asked for their driver licence information. The employer sent the questions for the candidate to answer. On both occasions, the company contacted the candidates within hours after they received the answers. The consumers noticed that the compensation was too good to be true and decided to report to BBB’s Scam Tracker.
BBB also reached out to the business with letters on January 07, 2021 and January 18, 2021 to confirm details about their business location, competency licence and hiring process. BBB also contacted the City of Vancouver on January 6, 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 February 1, 2021, BBB has not received a response from Maplebear Logistics. The website for the company, https://maplebearlogistics.ca/index.html is still active.
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.
