Do we Really have a Minister of Labour, the Head of Industrial and Labour Court, anti corruption agencies and the rest of them?

'Cus if they have prosecuted one or two fake agencies in the past all others would have gone underground. But it appears they keep increasing in number by the day.

They just sent me a mail too. But this is very bad of this country. So they actually have the impetus to send people mail nationwide to come for fake interview. You can imagine if i had left Calabar to lagos for that BS and i pity others that will be going from far locations. Wow! Naija i hail thee.

{1}Any interview/job invitation from SCHLEEZ nig ltd at 49 olowu street ikeja is a scam interview
{2}Any job invitation from a company that the no sending you such invitation is not a call back line,or telling you something like you are not allowed to call this no is likely to be a scam interview
{3}Any invitation from a company you have never applied to is likely to be a scam interviev

Re: Scam Interview by nelbee: 5:12pm On Jan 11, 2018
Hello Ormrakces,

I apologize on behalf of Lisse Africa for any inconveniences encountered by your friend during the recruitment process.
But I just want to correct a notion about Lisse Africa as a recruitment firm. Lisse Africa is a new company registered in Nigeria with registration number RC1458411.

Our primary focus is support staff recruitment and outsourcing. Staff like Drivers, Cleaners, Cooks, Office Assistants, Waiters e.t.c.

At times we do get openings for Customer Service Reps, Sales People and even Business Development Executives. And openings are published on popular job listing platforms like , myjobmag.com e.t.c

Everyone that has ever been invited are people who applied through these platforms and we are proud to say that in a short space of time we have employed quite a number of people.


Our website is www.lisseafrica.com and every of our job interview invites come from recruitment@lisseafrica.com.

We don't request money from any of our candidates to give them jobs. We follow standard HR procedures.

To clear your doubt, LISSE AFRICA is not a SCAM , we are REAL!!.

I would really to give you a call to clarify any doubts that you still have.

Our apologies to your friend.


Regards

Growth afrique Here is to another to add to list of Fake employers/interview growth afrique..BEWARE This is just for your awareness so you don't risk your life,waste the little you have and travel all the way from say Calabar to Lagos for aptitude test/interview for non-existent job positions. GROWTH ARFIQUE.Location @maryland mende adedotun dina street,They will use you and dump you after just 2 weeks making u bring in any just type of business to register on their poor website with no traffic generated on the web page.Whatever they tell u at the orientation is a lie! they feed u with false promises to pay you big but they have no salary whatsoever to pay an individual.Their website is a fraud they dont generate traffic on it instead having default settings on views of businesses shocked,they will tell you they have a weekly fee to pay u every week but it not to be its a fat big lie angry.Just ignore them advert and move on with your precious life.They are nothing but time wasters.These guys are very sophisticated scammers who readily invite unsuspecting job seekers use and dump them after 2 weeks.A friend of mine who lives in kwara state temporarily moved to lagos had this unfortunate experience.Beware and run

Re: Scam Interview by harryhenry02: 2:54pm On Nov 06, 2019
Got a text yesterday afternoon for Job interview in this form;

M.I.S. NIG, LTD. INVITES YOU FOR AN INTERVIEW TOMOROW, @DE-PATRICKS PLAZA,LAST FLOOR. BESIDE JETS FILLING STATION, BY ZIKS AVENUE AWKA, FDT003. TIME:9:00AM.


In summary. MIS means Mulberry Infinity Services. It's just their disguise name. They are simply NEOLIFE marketers or agent or whatever they call themselves. Why I categorise them as scammers is because they use misleading means to bring people into their program by extracting your number from somewhere and sending you fake Job interview invitation.
Instead of Just inviting you to come and participate in their seminar on how to join them, they lure you with fake Job interview invitation. It's a criminal activity. No integrity. Hidden agenda and they shouldn't be trusted.

Details of the story;
I couldn't find their information online so I called the number that sent me the message as I didn't remember applying for the Job. The Man told me it's an ICT company that works with Anambra state government. As an Electrical Engineer, I decided to attend.
On getting there, we were just three that came for the interview, we were ushered paper to answer 30 questions in 30mins, random question about your personality and your future aspirations. Then the second part of the interview was when the guy started giving us motivational talks, after that the one they said is the Boss, a Lady came in and continue her motivational and kinda brain washing talks. The next thing, they brought a form that we should register 18k or pay advance of any amount. We all withdrew politely by telling them we will get back to them that we don't have cash at hand. That was it.
I decided to post this here because if someone have posted something like this before me, I wouldn't have wasted my previous time and money going there today.
