Genius Association

Autumn –

Type of a scam Employment

My father in law was offered a job as an Administrative Assistant for Genius Association, making $35/hour to start, increasing to $38/hour after the probationary period.

The email stated they were planning to open an additional office in Edmonton in a couple of months, which is where my father in law lives. The job description was fairly broad and we were not sure about what the company did, as we could not find out one thing about them online. They claimed to do some sort of student exchange programs and finding host families for exchange students as well as research on your demographic area.

The email was weird, it raised a bunch of red flags:

1. The company did not have a www. address, only a pngage online. Could not be googled etc.

2. Offered the position with no interview, phone call etc.

3. High pay for an administrative Assistant

4. The personal interview was to be held after the trial period of 4 weeks

5. Another single page on the web with no www. explaining the position

6. At the bottom of the job offer letter, it said something about "Office Administrator at Baycrest Hospital, Edmonton" .. which there is no hospital in Edmonton named that.

I have other attachments that I tried to attach however thissystem only lets you attach one. I also have their Direct Deposit form, and their Registration form.
