I was applying to jobs at the end of May 2020 knowing that I could be laid off due to COVID-19. I was searching for jobs on indeed.ca and saw a job opportunity for an "Administrative Assistant" position. I applied for the position and about a week later received an e-mail that stated:

Good Morning,

Thank you for applying for the Administrative Assistant position we posted on www.indeed.ca. While we have recently suspended filling the said position as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, do find below a safe and temporary position that might interest you:

Reporting to the Evaluation Recruiting Officer (ERO), (the) COVID-19 evaluator will be required to assess whether or not safety measures instituted by WHO and currently being implemented by the Canadian Government is being followed in order to flatten the COVID-19 curve.

A recently completed COVID-19 Evaluation sample would be sent to you afterwards for a better understanding.

Also, do note that each Evaluation would take approximately two hours to be completed.

Warm Regards,

I didn't think anything about the e-mail at first since he seemed very professional. I then requested for the "employer" to send me more details on the position. He responded:

"Thank you for your continued interest in becoming our COVID-19 Evaluator. Once you are approved, your position as COVID-19 Evaluator would commence with immediately.

Below are additional relevant details in moving forward with your application:

If approved, your remuneration of $300 per evaluation would be sent along with your evaluation package. Also, we will be covering all the incurable costs that would /might arise from every evaluation assigned.

Your evaluation would include visiting outlets designated as essential services like Restaurants, Banks, Grocery Stores, Walmart etc to determine whether safety measures instituted by WHO and currently being implemented by the Canadian Government are being adhered to.

An evaluation package would always be mailed to you via courier with contents like specific instructions to follow, assigned store/organization, a certified cheque, and an evaluation report sheet.

A Mandatory 24 hours vulnerable sector check is required at this stage and upon successful completion - your first evaluation would be assigned.

Attached is a sample report from a completed evaluation to get you familiar with the position.

Below are the requested details needed to carry out the 24 hours vulnerable sector check:

- Full Name as stated on your ID:

- Mailing Address (INCLUDING UNIT #) and postal code:

- Employment Status:

It seemed a little fishy since each evaluation would only take up to 2 hours and I would get paid $300. It seemed too good to be true. He also never called me to discuss the opportunity further. I sent him my information and he then told me he would send me my first evaluation package in the mail with instructions on how to proceed. He told me the package contains instructions for my first evaluation and a cheque issued by our financier (sponsoring the evaluations) - RIGMASTER POWER INTERNATIONAL LTD. It didn't make sense since I would be doing my first evaluation check at Walmart and the company sponsoring the evaluations was a manufacturer of auxiliary power units for the trucking industry. It didn't add up.

He sent me a tracking number and my package arrived a couple of days later. He told me to phone him once I received it.

He sent me an "evaluation report sheet" and instructions that stated:

STEP 1: DEPOSIT- deposit the cheque in your account to enable you to access funds for Step 2 and 3. make a cash withdrawal of $3400 for Step 3 bank deposit evaluation. Send me a clear picture of your withdrawal receipt via e-mail.

STEP 2: WALMART ASSESSMENT- At your discretion, make any purchase from any Walmart stores to enable you to complete the assessment page below.

STEP 3: BANK DEPOSIT EVALUATION- A specific bank outlet would be sent yo you once the withdrawal receipt has been provided.

I didn't follow through with any of it as I realized that I was being scammed. I'm reporting this so this doesn't happen to other innocent people, ESPECIALLY during a pandemic.

Thank you for reading!
