I have seen a few of these job alert scams which pretend them are from reputable job search companies. Not sure if they are able to obtain your information through these job search companies but I did infact register on Workopolis and then started getting these job scam alerts:

I have received previous ones from supposed companies such as "ENTROPISERECRUIT GROUP LTD" and "SSG GROUP LTD" but the latest was this one:

Travis Group Ltd

Might be a reputable company but these scammers have taken the name as their own in this scam email where they try to recruit people to be a money mule as they always want to get you involved in sending money over seas where you can not get it back.

I realize that text files cannot be attached so here is the content of the email with the source (and as you can see they want you to apply direct instead of through Workopolis):
