Type of a scam Employment
I’d like to report a job scam. I’ve been applying for jobs actively and I recently received an email from a Mr. *** *** (likely a fake name) from a fake company named Retec Consulting. The email said that they obtained my CV on LinkedIn and would be calling me about an interview. I later received a phone call (voicemail) saying that I had been fast-tracked and would be sent an email survey to fill out, then would be contacted for an interview if I was qualified. I received the email survey and filled it out and forwarded it on. A couple days later I received an email saying I had been hired; no interview necessary as they suddenly “believe interviews do not guarantee success on the job”. Naturally, I was excited at first, but then after some consideration, it just was not adding up. I did some sleuthing and confirmed that this was most likely a job scam, so I sent the following email to see what kind of response I would get. It explains some of the discrepancies I found. I hadn’t mentioned the fact that $4800 a month seemed a little steep for an admin position- this was one of the things that sent a red flag flying.
Good morning,
I would first off like to extend my gratitude for this opportunity you have presented me. I do, however, have a few questions and concerns. I am currently employed and will not be able to accept this job offer without some clarification; I have heard of a lot of job scams going around lately, so I just wanted to clarify a few things, which I hope you can understand. First, would we be able to set up an in person interview? I know the job offer stated “We do believe that interviews do not guarantee success on the job”, however it would alleviate some concerns that I have, which as a reputable employer, I’m sure you could understand. Typically, some form of interview is done, as well references are usually asked for. I feel an interview is important to get a better understanding of the company that I would be working for, the job that I would be doing, and of the people that I would be working with. Also, I never directly applied to this position and went to search on LinkedIn for the Retec profile and Mr. *** *** and could not find either anywhere, so I am just a little confused at how you accessed my CV/profile, as you had stated in emails, LinkedIn is where you obtained it from. Also, the documents you’ve sent me say to email [email protected], however I am receiving all of these emails from [email protected] which is one ‘c’ short. I tried googling your location (1368 Ouellette Ave, Windsor, ON N8X 1J9) and this company is not coming up under this address, as well there is no address indicated for the new Ottawa office. Finally, these red flags made me search under the ScamPulse.com and I was unable to find your business anywhere…
Please understand that I am just taking the necessary precautionary steps for addressing my concerns about legitimacy, as a few of these things are what job searchers are told to look out for as a “phishing scam” when in the midst of applying for jobs. I hope you can understand my predicament. I look forward to hearing back from you.
I later called the number on their website and it described nothing of the company and just said “hold while we transfer you to a representative”, then I was dropped to the voicemail. I noticed the building they claimed to be in had other suites/businesses in it, so I called the “*** *** *** *** *** ***” and asked if they knew if this supposed business was located in the building. The woman said that she received 4 calls already about this and that one woman actually came into the building looking for it and that, no, it did not exist. This is what 100% confirmed to me that this was a phishing scam. Luckily for me, they received no information other than my name, email, and phone number. No credit card numbers/SIN number was handed out, so I’m assuming they will be unable to access anything they were looking for. Please advise me if I am at risk for something that I may be missing?
I will forward all the emails that were sent to/from upon your request. The website/email/phone numbers are below. I also have reason to believe the website is part of the scam, as I stated previously, it does not look like this business even exists.

[email protected] (is the email “Bishop Brown” was sending emails from)
[email protected] (is the email on the website and the one that was indicated in the documents they forwarded me)
1-226-246-4613 is the phone number that called my cell and a woman left a voicemail on (all other phone #’s in this area of Windsor seem to start with the area code 519- as per my call to the *** *** *** *** *** ***”). Also the phone number on the website is different.
Please feel free to email questions for any clarification/ more details that may be needed. Also, the emails may have some more details in them that you may need, so again, I will forward them upon request. And again, please email me if you believe I should be any further concerned about anything that may have transcribed.
Thanks and have a great day!

I did a search of this apparent company, and nothing showed on the BBB, Companies Office for new business name listings in Manitoba, nothing showed in a google search for them, and when looking up the address that I was provided, it is a building that is for sale. I called them out on this in an email that I had sent back to them requesting some questions be answered regarding if this is legitimate.
I am not sure exactly what they are after, or what they are trying to do.
