Employment fraud
Too-good job offers, training fees, or tasks that turn you into an accidental money mule can cost thousands. If you're in Canada and lost money, tell us what happened.
Job scams promise high pay for remote work, then demand upfront fees for training, software, or background checks. Some victims are asked to receive and forward money — making them unwitting mules.
Save LinkedIn messages, email domains, and payment instructions. Note whether you used personal bank accounts or crypto wallets at the recruiter's request.
Practical steps for Canadians — not legal advice. Outcomes vary; see our disclaimer.
Unsolicited offers with high pay for minimal skills, interviews only via chat apps, and requests for upfront training or equipment fees.
