Winnipeg Richardson International Airport has been made aware of an extensive employment scam that uses our name and address. Potential job seekers are being targeted by scammers impersonating private recruiting agencies and security contractors. They are then asked to provide personal information or send e-transfers through social media, Gmail, and WhatsApp.
Winnipeg Richardson International Airport and its parent company, Winnipeg Airports Authority, will never contact you through any unofficial channels or ask individuals to send money for any reason. All employment opportunities with Winnipeg Airports Authority are listed directly on our website. While we have many partners operating at YWG who are responsible for hiring their own employees, you can find most companies listed on our Airport Campus Careers page. It is likely fraudulent if you are contacted about a position with a contractor that is not listed here.
If you suspect you may have been targeted under similar circumstances, we strongly encourage you to block and report any suspicious social media accounts, email addresses, and phone numbers. You should also share any information with the Winnipeg Police Service or your local authority.
If you would like to verify if a communication you’ve received is legitimate, you can find our contact information here.
