Alberta job seekers are being warned about fraudulent websites with false claims of job opportunities.
Various websites have been set up posing as fictitious oil and gas companies offering non-existent jobs in return for a fee paid in advance.
The job seeker is told that the fee is for work visas, travel expenses, or pre-screening, but after it is paid they will find out that the website was a hoax copying it’s design from other legitimate oil and gas firms in the province.
Before you send any money to a potential employer you are advised to contact their office to discuss the offer and recruitment process.
