BBB received a Scam Tracker report about an employment offer from Siddal Logistics Services, a logistic company based in Burnaby, BC. The consumers alleged that they received an unsolicited email with a job offer.They never applied for this company for employment. The consumer received the job offer shortly after.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 September 27, 2021, November 26, 2021 and March 01, 2022 to confirm details about their business location and hiring process.

As of March 11, 2022, BBB has not received a response from Siddal Logistics Services. The website for the company, http://www.siddalservice.com/index.php 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.
