Have I Been Scammed? by Nobody: 4:33pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
Am a young graduate who has finished service since 2013, don't have a job yet. As at wednesday last week, a pastor of my church who is aware of my plight reffered me to one Mr xx whose "office" is at suite C038, kaduna 1 plaza, trade fair lagos. I was told that the man operates an agency that links people up to jobs and that there is a vacancy for a store keeper of my age and that I should met him on thursday. On thursday after meeting him, he asked me who linked me, I told him the pastors name, he also told me to pay #3000 for service charge, I was skeptical about it, but I did it. I was handed a letter and told to go to the company which located at number 1 glass road mafoluku, oshodi lagos. It was a nigerian breweries ware house. I was told to meet the HR guy who when I met him, requested for my C.V. And told me that he would get back to me. Since then, I have not heared from any of them. But then am tempted to think that its a scam, because 1.The job linking stuff sounds too good to be true. 2. When I got to the ware house and asked for the HR guy, the workers said they didn't know any body like that and that I should refer to the next ware house. On my way to the next ware house the HR guy Intercepted me. 3. The 3k I was asked to pay. But on the other hand am still tempted to believe its real because 1. I know the pastor very well. He lives in my neighbourhood and has a good reputation, when I expressed my concerns to him he vouched for the mr sammy and said he knows someone who got a job through the agency. 2. While asking for directions to the “job agency office" many people reffered to mr Bleep as the man that helps people with job. Honestly I don't know what to think of it. Anyone that know anything about this job agency should please help me confirm the details. 1 Like 4 Shares |

prevail23: Honestly I was told that the job was already mine, that was why I should pay the 3k. Infact mr xx assured me that if I meet the hr guy I would be given my employment letter. 3 Likes 1 Share |

If he wanted to scam you, he would have asked much much more than 3K. Additionally, you should remove that picture and the man's name so that you don't dent his image and also reduce your chances of getting the job. Call him to make any further confirmation about your application. Careful how you share sensitive info next time as employers don't like people who can't keep things away from the public.

One of the red flags of getting scammed is - Strange requests ( Paying for a Job, very ridiculous. ) I'm sorry, I think u have just been scammed. What they do is do same for like 100 people. ( #3000 X 100) . Your pastor just became #300,000 richer. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I think you should be a bit patient. It's too early to point accusing fingers,especially given the fact that you trust the man who referred you there. By the way, did you say the agency would be collecting half of your salary for the whole period you would work there or just for the first month? |
