My sister received a text message from Workforce management Centre last week inviting her for an aptitude test.
She went there, wrote the test and was interviewed immediately.
She was congratulated that she passed and she's going to be fixed in one of Nigerian Banks.
The big clause is that she's been asked to pay the sum of N50,000 to undergo a training before she's given the job.
Isnt this a scam well layd out?

please for the love of God help us o.I am in the same situation. I have already passed their test and interview but I am expexted to pay 50k before we resume for the training next week. Well they say they are doing it for a bank.
The whole set up of the place gives the impression of something that is real and some people are already being trained after paying.
So please somebody say something, is it worth it?

 I don't understand myself. I got the text message but never went for the test. I don't agree with any form of payment before getting a job. Please can anyone comment on this new dragnet thing. they are also requesting that you pay some amount of money. There was also this advert in Gaurdian of tuesday(25/09/07) of a malaysian company looking to recruit. They asked people to pay #2,000 while applying. I think further investigation is required.

Forget about them it is a fraud, you can stop this by making sure that you report them to EFCC or ICPC for prosecution in doing so you will save other job seekers that may have falling victim of this financial fraud, Nigerian Employment market is wonderful how can you ask an applicant to pay such amount, please ensure you report this with your evidence to the appropriate authorities. Good luck

i think a little caution and restrain will be very much helpful to you all. Recruitment agencies are not suppose to engage in all these nefarious activities, if any company is engagin their services, the companies ought to pay them not you guys . Please don't let desperation lead you to tragedy o!!!!!!!

Did u say 50K?  My God! That is more than some people's salary o. See what unemployment is causing. I think it is a scam, though I don't know about Workforce, but are they not suppose to reach an agreement with the coy they're recruiting for to deduct the amount from the employees salaries if they're genuine? At least I know that's what most of these consulting firms do. They don't collect physical cash from prospective employees, but will rather deduct an agreed percentage from ur salary. So please guys, let's be careful o. |

this is really weird. why would a company trying to recruit staff ask the applicant to pay. if there is to be any skills acquisition, it should be on the bill of the company not the employee. the recruitment agents get their own payments from the company so why are they asking money off the applicant? this is really unfair. why are people exploiting the plight of Nigerian graduates this way?
God help us.

hi friends I will advise you to be careful. I don't believe you have to pay anybody to get a job. I believe you will get yours. I got my first job without paying a dime through a job agent in Adeniran Ogunsanya, surulere. He dosent collect a dime although his is a small biz as he deals more with secretarial jobs but. I have enjoyed my stay in the company for a year now altho i have to move on because i have gotten a better offer in Bank. please, you have paid enough to go to school especially in a country like ours. don't allow anybody to exploit you. God will give you your heart desires sooner than you expect it. Be hopeful, Cheerio  |

Happy Eid el Fitri My name is Baba Ikazoboh – of DRAGNET. Dragnet is not a fraud. I would like to refer you a response I gave to similar concerns expressed by others here on Nairaland. http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-84394.0.html#msg1566960We are not linked to this topic "Workforce Management Centre Job", so I suggest that you join the others on the other page to discuss Dragnet. Alternatively, get more information on Dragnet on the web: www.dragnetnigeria.com If you still think its a fraud, then contact the HR Managers/Directors of any of the following companies to verify from them if they have signed up to use Dragnet for their graduate screening: IBTC Chartered Bank PLC - Banking Akintola Williams Deloitte - Accounting and Consultancy Nigerian Breweries PLC - FMCG Cisco Nigeria - ICT Bank PHB - Banking IGI Insurance - Insurance NOC (used to be NNPC) - Oil & Gas Ajumogobia & Okeke - Law Zenon Petroleum and Gas - Oil & Gas Le Global Gas - Oil & Gas Syngenta Nigeria - Pharmarceutical and Agro products ADIC Insurance - Insurance TNT Global - Logistics Kerildbert- Logistics Huntingfield Advisory - Financial Advisory AA Rescue - Motoring Consultancy The Silverbird Group - Entertainment Caverton Group (incl. Caverton Helicopters) - Maritime and Aviation In addition to the above companies, we send your information to the Top 500 Nigerian companies. They get it free. We are new, but that does not make us a fraud. Finally, if you still think its a fraud, visit the 1st "best in class" Dragnet Test Centre at 7 New Market Oniru Road, Lekki, Lagos. PS: If you find the website does not answer all your questions, then call 0700DRAGNET (07003724638) for enquiries. I hope this is useful to you. |
