Niger Insurance Plc is a real coy, though I dnt knw abt their pay. The only problem is that, you know all these Insurance companies and their kind of policy on marketing job. The funniest thing is the way they package n rebrand the job post to seem big in nature...Marketing Executive. Try them out anyway because its a genuine coy.

As for dat second one, my broda, ITS A NO GO area pls. Dnt bother to waste anything on dat trash because it is all these Corporate Drug Hawkers popularly known as GNLD.

Please I just got this now"In view of your application,Ehvise Global Resources invites you for a chat.Venue;75 Uwaasoterd by ojo off Ugbowo Benin city.Date 9th May 2015,Time 10:00am.For inquiry call 07034416080"can someone please verify its authencity.

Follow below simple guide and stop allowing job desperation get you scammed.

I have seen so many Nairalanders complaining and lamenting their ordeal in the hands of fake scam companies who invite people for interview only to introduce them to fake drug marketing business.
I'm doing this not only because these companies waste people's time, energy and T-fair going to such interviews, but also because most of these scammers extort money from hapless job seekers thereby making their suffering times two.
Imagine a scammer extorting #10,500 from a graduate who have been unemployed for years, not to talk of the transport fare wasted going to such fruitless interviews or job chat as they usually call it.
Some people even borrow money to pay these sheep in wolves clothing, who promise them heaven on earth. Some will tell you that you will make half a million within 1 month and all that. If you're not careful, you will take a loan that you will not be able to repay thus causing embarrassment and lack of rest of mind. An unemployed person should have only himself to worry about, not having debts also.

So I believe that if we are properly guided, we will not fall into the hands of these scammers.
Having said that, there are ways by which one can identify a fake or scam interview invitation and there fore avoid such waste of time and money. The good thing is that most of their messages come in the same format, so you will know its fake!

1. The message does not bear a company name: most of these scammers won't include their names on the message you will receive. All you will see are the address, the time and date and a phone number. A genuine company will not hide its identity from a potential employee.

2. The message will say "interview/job briefing": whatever job briefing means I don't know!
3. You will see a code or reference: something like "HR=0056" or "REF=002". This is an indication of the code number of the person who invited you to the "job briefing".
4. It will contain a phone number: this is the number of your referer. Most genuine companies don't give phone numbers.
5. You will see HR Admin in the message instead of company name
6. If you call their number, they will be reluctant to give info on the company.


And pls, ignore those people sharing job flyers on the streets, and those ones they paste on walls. Those are scammers and some ritualists too. And also most of these so called agencies are avenues for duping unsuspecting job seekers. Pls shine your eyes well well.
I will post the names of some of these fake companies/ agencies later.

Pls if you have any experiences inthe hands of these scammers kindly share it here so that others can learn and avoid them too. Thank you

Cheers!

Don't waste your money it's a scam. Any company that employ you will give you training on the job if required and not recruitment agency.

Don't think it's purely a scam. Follow the general guidelines posted earlier to identifying job scam.

Purely a scam. Another guide is that the interview invitation will be communicated to you less than 24 or 48hrs so that you won't have time to verify the genuineness of the invitation. They are catching in on gullibility of youth of today and their desperation to get job out of frustration

Any company you don't apply to and send you interview invitation is a scam. This is a scam.

Any invitation from 84 itire road Morgan is a scam. They are syndicates operating with different name from that address. Am aware police have arrested them there severally but continue after settling police.

Of a truth no one apply to all this job scammers but they have a means of accessing your CV from the data base of genuine recruitment Firm you apply or submit your CV to online and they use the information to send you invitation..
