Did you receive a background-check request?
Here's how to confirm it's genuinely from Quality Screening Reports, and what we will never ask you for.
A genuine request looks like this
Quality Screening Reports screening invitations are sent only in connection with an employer-requested background check. Every genuine request shares these traits:
- It names the employer you applied to (or work for) and explains they've requested the check.
- It asks for your signed consent before anything runs, never after.
- It comes from an email address ending in @qualityscreeningreports.com.
- It links only to qualityscreeningreports.com or our secure screening portal.
- It never asks you for money. Candidates never pay for their own check through us.
The email domain we use
A genuine Quality Screening Reports email always comes from an address ending in @qualityscreeningreports.com, and the only websites we’ll ever send you to are qualityscreeningreports.com and our secure screening portal.
Watch for look-alike domains: an extra letter, a swapped character, or a similar name ending in something other than qualityscreeningreports.com is not us. If the sender’s address ends in anything else, don’t reply, forward it to us instead.
What we will never ask you for
A real check does collect personal information, like ID, date of birth, and address history, but only through our secure process, and only what the ordered checks need. The items below are different: no genuine Quality Screening Reports request will ever ask for them.
Payment of any kind
The employer pays for screening, never the candidate. Anyone asking you to pay for a Quality Screening Reports background check is not us.
Gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
We will never ask you to buy gift cards, wire money, or send cryptocurrency, for any reason, ever.
Banking passwords or online-banking logins
A real check never needs access to your bank account. We will never ask you to log in to your bank or share its password.
One-time security codes
We will never ask you to read back a verification code sent to your phone or email. Those codes are how scammers take over accounts.
Remote access to your device
We will never ask you to install remote-access or screen-sharing software as part of a background check.
How to verify in two minutes
If you’re unsure whether a request is legitimate, check before you submit anything.
- 1
Check the sender's address character by character
A genuine request comes from an address ending in @qualityscreeningreports.com. Look closely for look-alikes: extra letters, swapped characters, or a different domain entirely.
- 2
Confirm with the employer directly
Contact the employer who's hiring you using contact details you already have, not the ones in the email. They can confirm they ordered a check with Quality Screening Reports.
- 3
Forward the request to us
Send it to support@qualityscreeningreports.com and a person will confirm whether it's genuinely ours, usually within one business day.
What a real screening involves
From the candidate’s side, a genuine Quality Screening Reports screen has four steps, and consent always comes before any search. Read more about how we work and how consent works.
Your employer requests the check
An employer you've applied to (or work for) orders a background check as part of their hiring process.
You provide signed consent
Nothing runs until you've signed an authorization scoped to the specific checks on your order.
You supply what the checks need
Typically government-issued photo ID and details like your legal name, date of birth, and address history, only what the ordered checks actually require, collected through our secure process.
A specialist verifies everything
A trained screening specialist runs and reviews every check, then signs off before the report goes to the employer, and only the employer.
How consent works
Nothing runs until you’ve signed an authorization, and that consent is scoped to the specific checks the employer ordered. You can ask at any time what’s on your order, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Read our consent, privacy and dispute pages for the details.
If you think it’s a scam
Don’t reply, click links, or open attachments. Report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca or 1-888-495-8501, and let us know at support@qualityscreeningreports.com so we can help shut it down.
Candidate questions, answered
The questions we hear most from people who've just received a screening request.
- Is Quality Screening Reports a real company?
- Yes. Quality Screening Reports is the employment-screening arm of Quality Credit Reporting (QCR), a North American company that has handled sensitive personal data under applicable privacy law since 1992. Our website is qualityscreeningreports.com and our team is reachable at support@qualityscreeningreports.com.
- Why is an employer running a background check on me?
- An employer you've applied to (or already work for) has asked Quality Screening Reports to verify parts of your history, typically identity, criminal record, employment, education, or references, as a step in their hiring process. No search runs until you've provided signed consent.
- Do I have to pay for my own background check?
- No, never through us. The employer who orders the check pays for it. Any message asking you to pay for a Quality Screening Reports background check, in any form, is a scam.
- What information will I legitimately be asked for?
- Government-issued photo ID, your signed consent, and the details the ordered checks require: typically legal name, date of birth, address history, and employment or education history. You're only asked for what the specific checks on your order actually need, and it's collected through our secure process, never over an unverified channel.
- Will you ever ask for my banking login or a security code?
- No. A real background check never needs your online-banking password, a one-time security code, or remote access to your device. If a credit file check is on your order, it requires only your specific written authorization, not your banking credentials.
- Can I refuse or withdraw my consent?
- Yes. Screening only happens with your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time by emailing support@qualityscreeningreports.com. Searches still in progress are stopped, and the employer is informed the screening was not completed.
- Who sees my report?
- Only the employer who requested the check, through authorized users in their organization. We don't sell candidate information, and you can request access to your own report at any time.
Still not sure?
Forward the request to support@qualityscreeningreports.com before submitting any information, and a person, not a bot, will confirm whether it’s genuinely ours.
