LinkedIn and Monster remove about 1,500 fake job ads after CBC investigation
LinkedIn and Monster are job websites. They removed about 1,500 misleading job ads after a CBC News investigation. The ads offered jobs from home, with no experience needed. Some promised up to US$75,000 a year. But the ads led people to Evolution Travel, an American company. It is a multi-level marketing company. This kind of company asks members to pay and to bring in new members. People who answered the ads were asked to pay hundreds of dollars, plus a monthly fee. The ads did not say this. Evolution Travel says it tells its agents not to post job ads.
