Recruitment fraud — how to tell it’s really us
We never ask you to pay. Not for an application, an interview, training, a uniform, a police check, or a placement. Nobody at Help Now will ever ask you for money, a gift card, or an e-transfer. We also never send a cheque to a new hire to buy equipment or a “starter kit” — that scam always ends with the cheque bouncing after you’ve sent your own money on.
We contact you first by email or phone. Our emails come from an @helpnowhealthcare.com address, and our calls come from our own lines, including 1-888-507-6236. We do use WhatsApp — but only to carry on a conversation you have already started with us. If a stranger opens with a job offer on WhatsApp or Telegram and you have never been in touch with us, that is not us, whatever name is on the account.
What we do ask for is normal — and it is never money. Applying with us means giving us your ID, your registration or certification, your references and a vulnerable sector police check. Any real healthcare employer will ask for these. Your SIN and banking details come later, once you are hired and we are setting up your pay — never as part of applying.
Not sure? Don’t reply to the message. Call us on 1-888-507-6236 or email employment@helpnowhealthcare.com and we’ll tell you whether it came from us.
