Chapter 3: Diversify Your Job Search Strategy

What to do if you suspect an Employment Scam?

  • End all communication with the employer and if personal information was disclosed, change all of your passwords and monitor your accounts to be on the safe side.
  • If you have sent money to a fraudulent employer, contact your bank or credit card company immediately for further instructions.
  • Gather all records of the fraud and contact the police to report it: The Ottawa Police Organized Fraud Section and/or RCMP – Reporting Scams and Frauds.
