Fake recruiter
Anna Travel Agency
A Facebook page and website called Anna Travel Agency advertise jobs at CLI with visas and flights included. CLI does not work with this agency.
Fake CLI websites and job offers.
Someone is using Canadian Locators Inc's name to offer jobs, visas and flights. CLI has no connection to it. Here is how to tell the real CLI apart and what to do if you were contacted.
What it looks like
The scam has three parts.
None of these come from CLI. Do not reply, pay, or send documents to them.
Fake website
canadianlocator.com
A copy of this website, spelled without the "s". Its phone buttons go to WhatsApp, and its forms send your details to the people running the scam.
Fake hiring
Pop-ups and applicant tests
The fake site shows a "We're hiring" pop-up and emails applicant tests to collect resumes, driver's licence details, and references.
The real CLI
How to know it is really CLI.
Website
canadianlocators.com
Check the spelling. The real CLI website is www.canadianlocators.com, with an "s".
Email
hr@canadianlocators.com
CLI email addresses use canadianlocators.com, with an "s". Resumes go to hr@canadianlocators.com.
