This is the text I got.

I received a text this afternoon from Como oil and gas, that I have been shortlisted for an interview. I was to log in with my details (matriculation or JAMB registration number).
I was curious because;

1. I haven't heard of the company before

2. I didn't submit an application there.

3. They telling me to log in with my details actually means they have my details.

So, I did two things, I 'googled' Como oil and gas and I went to the site as stated in the text.

The first research showed that Como oil and gas actually exists, but in Florida. There was no evidence whatsoever, at least online, to show they have any presence in Nigeria.

When I got to the site, I saw a link for Job vacancy, I clicked and it took me to a page where I will put in my details. I imputed my matriculation number and to my amazement, it brought out my details including my full name, state of origin, JAMB registration number, phone number and my matriculation number.

I was also asked to pay N1000 through any online media, of course no reputable company will ask you to pay for an interview, so I registered it as a scam in my head.

The question now is, how did they get my details? The first two can be gotten through my social media accounts but my JAMB registration number and matriculation number are neither on my CV nor my social media accounts.

Has anyone ever had an experience like this? It will make it easier for people to fall once they see their 'private' details. Or does anyone know anything about Como?

Thanks.

They have extracted your data from a previous CV you submitted somewhere, now they are about to get your ATM details and PIN.

Run for your life.

I am not that tech savvy but i suspect keylogging.

They asked for your details and you provided it, didn't you?

As you were typing ON THEIR WEBSITE, one korokoro eyes dey see am for where he dey

OFF POINT -No mystery in some cases, one's phone number & full name can be retrieved from passenger manifest when travelling -

That's a different scenario, i know. But this is a SCAM anyway... RUN

I've reported the website to its domain registrar and hosting company (Namecheap). I know they don't tolerate scams and fraudulent schemes. Expect the website to be taken down soonest.

U already registered it as a scam in my head, u can still try nd pay d 1k too, yr village people might support u on dis one. 1k is nt too much.

Bt i fear those people hw them take get yr jamb number

This isn't Keylogging but an advanced recruitment scam. They didn't need any special password from him other than his Jamb details which they have with them.

This scam is on a whole new level. Unfortunately, most of these Scammers still use the same method; claim to be a multinational coy with its base somewhere in Texas, Florida or California.

Unfortunately, so many job seekers would fall, believing a thousand Naira is too small.

LAFO:

Do you need a prophet to tell you say Na scam?

1k in 200 places is 200k for just sending emails and bulk sms.....

Imagine the money they will make if mugus pay 1k each?
Oil company wey dey ask for 1k.... that one na oil compny?
end time company.

Here's what I sent:

"Hello,

There has been multiple complaints about this website: (https://www.comooilandgas.us) on this Nigeria's Nairaland forum: https://www.nairaland.com/3698060/company-got-all-details-without. This website has been reported by many Nigerians as a fraudulent one. The fake website is posing as a legitimate USA company website (www.comooilandpropane.com). The scam is based on the payment of "verification fees" of $3 per person for an interview opportunity. Payment is made online and card details may even be compromised. There also may be other hidden payments in the whole dubious process.

Many people may have fallen victim already and more will eventually do if this is not investigated and the website shut down immediately. I trust the integrity of your brand and expect a swift action on this matter."
