*Employment Scam----Experience of a new comer*

Dear All,

This mail is just a heads up for newcomers and students and everyone in general who is still new to the ways of Canada.

Requesting you not to judge as to how you would have behaved in that situation. I am just putting this mail as an awareness about how I was cheated and how the scams are going on so now no one else is a victim like me.

I saw a job posting on Indeed.com about a month back for Financial Analyst position on Indeed.com for a company and applied to it.

I got a mail for a routine type pre-screening list of questions and being the enthusiastic job seeker that I was, I immediately replied to that.

After two days, I got a mail again stating that my candidature was selected for an interview. It didn't state exactly whether it was face to face or telephonic ,the tone of the mail being confusing, but I replied back with the answer that I would be willing to meet for the same on the given date. I went to the office in Mississauga(address and all was mentioned in the mail)on the day of interview where I was told at the reception that there has been some sort of confusion, as the hiring always takes place from US HO and there is no face to face interview but a telephonic and that I was the fourth person that day who had this mix up. I got a call then and was asked questions which are asked in regular interviews for Finance positions.They informed me that if I was selected I would be given a training in Calgary office for the first 10 days and the offer letter would be mailed

After two days I got a mail again asking for remaining 1300 dollars for laptop and software and that is when I realised that I had been duped. No company will ask money for laptop. The next day I got a call from the bank that the check had bounced. I have registered with police for this entire scam and also with the bank, but there is no way that the money can be recovered.
The police is the same everywhere, they told me that these type of scams are common and try to forget about it, instead of acting on what information and mails and everything I had given. The phone lines , the bank transactions, domain ids, Linkedin profiles, everything was still active and can be traced but will not be because the people have accepted that this is a common phenomena and newcomers have to deal with it.
I also informed the company regarding the entire thing to which they updated a post with a back date on their site stating that such a scam is going on and to be aware of it. The entire set up was foolproof with all numbers, names, designations and methods.
I am now being pursued by the bank about the money which now they feel I owe them. Instead of doing their due diligence for a first irregular check, they simply cleared it without any hold. Also when i went to the bank the same day after filing the police report, they were in disbelief as to why the funds were cleared and credited the same day. They suspected me of having something to do with the scam. Also it seemed that they couldn't explain to me as to why the funds were made available the same day, why there was no hold on the first irregular deposit and why no due diligence was performed. I had to take the onus of this since i had not informed them of wiring back the funds to employer. I couldn't have informed them of anything which i wasn't even aware at the time of deposit. The bank is now threatening about the collectors.

I am trying to find a way out of all this, but being new here and without any guidance its difficult about how to deal with this. I also had several conversations with the bank about resolving this amicably, but from what they told me, it seems they have encountered this type of scams routinely and still don't have a counter for it. They just ask the customer to pay it. Since it is mostly newcomers/students who fall prey to this, its easy to threaten them and banks usually yield their way. The victims here are those who are in need of job/money and obviously they can't afford to fight back since they don't know whether to spend time looking for new job and take the effort somewhere else or fight back knowing what is going on is wrong. I have been victimised like me.

Urmi

Saving this for my job interview. Scam that I can end in two weeks

Hello guys, do you fill in duration of study as two years each for both diploma and HND on the express entry page? I know Wes already evaluated as 3years or more, does that mean i have to backdate the HND duration to make it 3yrs or still fill it as 2yrs? For those that did it, how did you fill ur duration of study for hnd pls?

For ND I filled 2 years, for HND I filled the three years WES gave me

BC/26th nov

Thanks so much. Your result was released on Sunday right?

Please has anyone who wrote IELTS with BC in Lagos on 10th November collected their trf? What's the date on the result and also for mod 10th November what's the date on your trf.
Currently out of Lagos and I need to complete my profile. Thanks

Sandydav:
For MOD, your TRF number is at the bottom of the page when you view your result online, use that for your profile. I don't know if its the same for BC

Thanks this was helpful. Wifey wrote with MOD

dumprep:
You can create your EE profile if you have your IELTS results (without the trf). But you will need to upload the TRF in your application (i.e. after you get your ITA).

Trying to create my own profile. But it's asking for the certificate number. Can I just input my registration number. Then update it with the certificate post ITA.

BC has finally freed me oooo L9, S8, R8.5 W7... With this score my CRS is now 448 without my wife's ECA. Hopefully we get ITA this week.

alwayspositive8:
The most surprising thing is that, there was no mail, text or any form of correspondence from them... That so unprofessional.. But then I just remember that no be their fault sha.. Dem Don make a lot from us.. So they don't care anymore... All I pray now is that we will be free from them by the grace of God

If they don't release it by Monday morning we should all hit them with calls. This is clearly unprofessional of them

alwayspositive8:
British council no do well at all... Dey just put Person for dilemma... I need to make a decision about registering for Dec 1st or not all(that's if I did well in the results they have been holding on to)... and Tuesday is the deadline for registering MOD... God help me oo I no wan waste money

10th Nov IELTS writers with BC can check their result now. Its online. I'm really sad. Don't know what else I can do to improve my writing. My first IELTS in July 28 was lrws-9,8,7,8. I needed to Max my scores. I took time to prepare for writing and i wrote another ielts on 10th Nov, now result came out ; lrws-8.5,8.5,7,7.5. Writing is still holding me. I felt I did better in this writing than the previous one. I don't know how else to improve my writing.
