It is the SAME SCAM....Thank God I was being watchful... They sent me a text to my phone and made some mistakes in the present and past tense,so that made me suspect at first.And going through the email, I noticed more and more mistakes which made me go into www.google.com, so search for the so called Document called [b][/b]ANTI TERRORISM CLEARANCE PAPERS...I have put the correction of the mistakes they made in the bracket,right next to their mistake which gave them up.

Also, I attached the appointment letter they sent to me which had another MAJOR mistake again, hahaha..!! I thought they introduced themselves as STAT OIL AND GAS Company Ltd, somewhere in the appointment letter these scammers forgot to edit '' Quarmby Construction Company Ltd '' into STAT OIL AND GAS Company Ltd.STAT OIL AND GAS Company Ltd and Quarmby Construction Company Ltd are two DIFFERENT companies doing two different things entirely. One is into oil and gas and the other is into building construction..How is that for an EXPLOSION..??

Do RESEARCH about offers you get.The appointment letter says,I will get over 10k pounds per month when I already know the most salary I can get as a customer service representative in the UK will never be more than 5kpounds per month.Which is very very OK. People,do not JUMP into offers too good to be true..

Thanks..

Hey people, I just noticed something again.It is interesting. It is the same guy who sent that same email to the first person who posted this alert on here that sent it to me tooooooo ooooohhh...

This is how the person signed off as to the first person who first talked about this alert.

How do I know if it is the same person running this SCAM?? This what the same person sent to me too below.If you take a closer look, you will see it is the same UK Phone number, but they just changed the H.R.D MANAGER name and company name.But I still figured them out.

Pls, when you receive yours, was the mail inside ur inbox or your spam mails because I saw a similar mail inside the spam not my inbox so dat shd clear the fact that it's a scam but I intend to get to the bottom of this and report cos dis is very bad.

Guys I just googled my name and discovered that fraudulent and mischievous elements who may have known my profile through any of the networking sites have resorted to tarnishing my reputation by decorating me as a Solicitor to one Cain Energy Recruitment. I and my firm Foundation Chambers located in Lagos as against Umuahia address on the purported letter of employment have not heard of the said energy company and have not worked for them in any capacity. I therefore dissociate myself and my firm from the said scam and implore everybody to ignore the same. Thanks Donald Ibebuike Esq.

Dear All,

I am also a recipient of the mail sent from this company -CAIRN ENERGY PLC UK. This time around the name of the solicitor was changed to : OPERATIONS OFFICE:HOLDINGS CHAMBERS

We all need to be careful in our desperate need for a life changing job opportunity. Well, the lawyer did not ask for much to procure the so called International Workers Permit , he asked for N22,400 and a scanned copy of my international passport.

The whole employment sounded too good to be true as i was sent an appointment letter and Visa Form for immediate employment in the UK!!!!!!!


Below are details of the so called offer for employment. BEWARE!!!!!!!
