Fraud Warning
Vendor Fraud
Bird is aware of fraudulent activity involving the impersonation of Bird personnel and the unauthorized use of Bird’s name in vendor-related communications. These fraudulent schemes are targeting both prospective and current suppliers, often through the distribution of fake contracts, requests for sensitive financial information, or illegitimate credit applications.
These practices may appear legitimate and include forged documentation, false contact details, or references to real Bird projects. The intent of these scams is typically to obtain confidential information or unauthorized payments.
Bird will never request payment information, banking credentials, or credit application details without first establishing a verified business relationship through our formal procurement and vendor onboarding processes. All legitimate communications from Bird will originate from official Bird domains, such as bird.ca and stuartolson.com, and will involve direct engagement with our procurement or finance teams.
Recruitment Fraud
Bird is aware that fraudulent offers of employment have been extended to people residing within and outside of Canada. Individuals or organizations sending these false employment offers may request personal information or funds to further the recruitment process with Bird.
Please be aware that Bird will never request money from job seekers, nor request personal information beyond what is required for a résumé. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from Bird, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process including an interview with a member of the Bird recruitment team.
