I got this job offer letter in my email yesterday, I read through and called the. Provided phone number only to be told that I should pay the sum of 25,000naira if I needed to be assisted in getting the job offer.
My suspicions are:
1. I googled the company only to find out it is only based in the U.K
2. I visited the stated website in the mail, it is not well datailed for such an o organisation.
3. I was sent an account number on a different name.
