Pairsoft Solutions Inc.

Type of a scam Employment

After applying for a receptionist position on Indeed Jobs for Pairsoft, I was contacted via email. After a seemingly normal hiring process, "Helena Anderson" informed me that the last step was a phone interview.

I was told I was hired in the next email. I asked why they didn’t do a phone interview. My question was ignored. I was told that I had five days of probation/training tasks. The first "task" was really suspect. It involved them requesting I accept a transfer of a large sum of money and "spend" or "do" stuff with it in various locations around Calgary.

At this time, I started noticing that many of the emails contained grammar errors that a professional company would have screened out. I was also unable to find ANY proof of a Calgary location for Pairsoft Solutions and Helena told me it was being "renovated" and that I would be working there "soon." Googling this company also pulls up no relevant results, leading me to think they deliberately hide their website from search engines.

They do have my personal information, including my address, a picture of my driver’s license, & a small amount of banking info (they said they pay employees via transfer before asking me to do "training").

I declined the job offer, so I don’t know what other "tasks" they wanted–but it’s clear that none of what they asked me to do was relevant to the job offer and seemed illegal.
