Sylver247: From what you said so far, there's nothing to be suspicious about. HUET is about 70k like you said depending on the company. 25k is nothing compared to what you want, except you don't trust the guy of course. 2 Likes |

@OP Please do your research and findings well. I cannot categorically tell you one now(in nscdc voice), but from what I've heard, its true that certain courses are needed before you can get a job in the likes of shell. Ask for the institution that host such degrees. Go to them and do your findings, don't pay to an individual. Or Use linkedin Meet shell workers, young ones, if you lucky they will reply you. All the best. I wish it's true and comes to reality. 2 Likes |

A friend of mine went through the same ordeal last year immediately after her NYSC, but hers was Exxon mobil in Uyo n the case was HSE of which she paid 60k and till date she hasn't heard from Exxon not to talk of Mobil, my advice is u should trade cautiously yes 25k is small yet is ur hand earned coin so make proper investigations before engagement. All the same best wishes n Goodluck... Unemployment go cause something one day for this naija! 2 Likes |

My instinct tells me it's no scam,the money is not much.I think what you should do is to confirm if he is really working with shell,life is full of risk,so risk it oga. |

Guy this trick is common in Warri axis. So your very good friend works for Shell and can't pay 65k for you? Shine you eye. 2 Likes |
Re: Am I Being Scammed? Please Advice! by aol(m): 11:09am On Oct 05, 2015 |
Are you sure this your friend is still working with shell as claimed? if so let him pay for you,if he can pay 40k for you 25k can't be much for him to pay..remember he was your childhood friend and we both know a lot of things has changed while y'all apart.. let him pay all and you will pay him back when your employ.. the 25k might look so small but bro the same 25k dey pay big bills. be wise. 3 Likes |

Simple. Thank him and send your account Number to him so that he can pay in the 40k so that you can make-up the balance and pay directly to the trainer. If he try to object, Tell him you are getting the money from an uncle who is doubtful and you want to use that money paid in by him to convince that your uncle to give you the balance. His reaction on this will speak volume. Good luck 19 Likes 3 Shares |

The last time i checked SAS/HUET is between 60-70k. If you want to do the training go to Tolman at Transamadi if you are in PH;you can even go for BOSIET direct sef. Tolman is OPITO certified and their certificate is accepted by Shell and most IOCs. Certificate will be valid for 3years sef. So in that case there will be no scam(since you don't trust your friend) and you will be ready for that contract. 3 Likes |
Re: Am I Being Scammed? Please Advice! by Nobody: 11:20am On Oct 05, 2015 |
Guy, HUET is part of safety courses normally required for offshore personnel, others may include BOSIET, OPITO, H2S, etc., based on location. HUET is not a single course but in some cases, others may be waived - sooo many reasons. To prove your friend right or wrong, don't pay to him nor to any other proxies, ask for the Training School, if you are in PH or Warri ask for the training school make sure you pay only to training school, if ever you didnt get the job,your HUET is valid for 2years. Good luck bro 4 Likes |

Sylver247: Forgive me, I have not seen anywhere he said you should give him the money. If someone is willing to pay part of your training fee and he did not request you give him the money, why not identify the training institute and you both pay the cash direct to the institute and you go for the training. HUET is usually a requirement for offshore jobs. Not all that is gold glitters and not all that is gold glitters. 1 Like |
