According to a letter of questionable legitimacy that I received wherein I was informed of my selection for a new job (mystery shopper) on account of a 'thorough review of [my] resume' (I sent no such resume, ever...), that phone number apparently belongs to NaviGate Premium Finance located on 538 Cambie Street Vancouver BC, V6B 2N7. I have phoned said number to inquire about my new job and while there was a real person on the other line who seemed to know what they were talking about, I still have no idea if any of this is genuine or not. So far, unlike most scams they have not asked me to send money or any personal information of significant value. As a matter of fact, a check was enclosed which I was instructed to use for making various purchases and transactions for the purpose of evaluating customer service. This whole scenario appears almost too ridiculous to be fake. I think I might even play along for curiosity's sake.
I hope this information has proven to be at least partially helpful to you,

I too received a letter from SNC-Lavalin Operations & Maintenance Inc. Same phone number though I haven't called it.
They included a check for almost $4000 and instructed me to send two amounts through Western Union, equaling just over $3000, to two "mystery shoppers" in Niagara Falls, NY. The remainder was to be split up as follows: $450 to me for my participation. 2) $100 to be spent at one of a choice of particular stores, and the remainder was to be used to pay for each of the Western Union money transfers to the two alleged "mystery shoppers" in Niagara Falls.
It is said that i am to do a review of my shopping experience at the store of choice, and the reason I am to send the Western Union transfers is to see if the Western Union clerk checks my ID as they're supposed to do for anything over $1000.
Weird! Seems like a scam to me. If I try to cash that check, I will be able to access the money and send it off and spend it. HOWEVER, if, several days later, the check doesn't go through, which it usually doesn't, you look like a scammer and you have to pay the bank back the money!
