Business ProfileforAnowles Logistics Services

BBB received several  Scam Tracker reports about an employment offer from Anowles Logistics Services  on August 19, 2021 and August 24, 2021. In one case, the victim alleged that they received a job offer from the company. During the hiring procedure, the company asked the victim to transfer money to an off-shore account to purchase cryptocurrency under the pretence it was for shipping services. The victim found it suspicious and reported on BBB’s Scam Tracker.

BBB also reached out to the business with letters on August 30, 2021 and September 9, 2021 to confirm details about their business location, competency licence and hiring process. BBB also contacted the City of Vancouver on October 1, 2021 to verify if there is a business licence connected to the company’s listed address. However, the City does not have any records for this address.

As of October 5, 2021, BBB has not received a response from  Anowles Logistics Services. The website for the company, https://mail.anowles.com/ is still active.

BBB is recommending the following tips to jobseekers who receive unsolicited communication about a job offer from an unknown company:

• Always be wary of work-from-home or secret shopper positions, or any job with a generic title such as caregiver, administrative assistant, or customer service rep. Scammers are notorious for using positions that don't require special training or licensing to attract potential applicants.
• You may be an excellent candidate for the job, but beware of offers made without an interview. A real company will want to talk to a candidate before hiring. 
• Don't fall for an overpayment scam. No legitimate job would ever overpay an employee and ask for money to be wired elsewhere.
