Vbconstruct Canadaloves Scam by okoyevictory: 4:44pm On Apr 06, 2019
So guys. Be warned. White guys are out on a pay back to scam Nigerians now.

I saw a vacancy for a role on one of the job portals. I applied and the next day a white guy calls and interviews me. Tells me to check my mail regularly in case I am successful.The next day, they send me a job offer and tell me to go to a website to apply for the visa. I am to pay a certain amount for the processing.

I chatted someone on the help-desk of the site and the persons asks if the could call. They call and tell me that the company that gave me the job is reputable and has been doing lots of business with them.

See the job offer:

Dear ************************(my name).

I am pleased to extend the following job offer to you on behalf of Villa
Bros Construction. You have been selected as the best candidate for the
IT Infrastructure Manager position. Congratulations!
We believe that your knowledge, skills and experience would be an ideal
fit for our team. We hope you will enjoy your role and make a

Construction.
Please take the time to review our offer. It includes important details
about your compensation, benefits and the terms and conditions of your
anticipated employment with Villa Bros Construction.

This is a full-time position requiring approximately 8 (eight) work
hours per day. Your regular weekly schedule will be from Monday to
Friday.

Villa Bros Construction
Address: 2525 Carling Ave, Ottawa, ON K2B 7Z2, Canada
Website: https://vbconstruct.com/

Now see why this is fake:


After thorough analysis, we have come to the following conclusive points:

1. It is very suspicious to get a job offer abroad by merely speaking with the interviewer over the phone who gives you an ultimatum to start visa processing through a particular website – canadaloves.com
2. From the information we have gathered, all communications with them have only been via phone and email. There’s no known Nigerian representative. That’s a red flag.
3. The €79 charge for Visa processing seems to be a trap. When asked to pay, an applicant informed them that he already has a Canadian Visa and they immediately ended the call on him.
4. The 7-day ultimatum on visa processing is a form of pressure.
5. It’s only rational to ask to meet an applicant for proper recognition and documentation before visa processing. Prioritizing payment over everything is a strong indication of fraud.

A company in a developed country such as Canada that claims to have been in operation for a while, executing some of the biggest and most challenging projects in the country, including multi-billion dollar facilities should have had a website before 2019. A quick run of “Whois vbconstruct.com & also canadaloves.com” indicates that the website domain where both registered just last month.
They where both registered in the same week. Fishy huh?
They built 2 different well designed sites to perfect their scam.
Their “Employment Letter” contains juicy baits to lure you into parting with your money. Typical of scam mails.

Just a warning so my dear Nigerians wouldn't fall for this.

Thanks guys.

Re: Vbconstruct Canadaloves Scam by afeese: 2:33pm On Apr 15, 2019
I trust my people, we are too smart for this glaring daylight cheap white scammers.
I got the same call and i was requested to pay 139 Euros before i could proceed to the next level of my visa applications. The first call was a guy on a Friday 12th April,2019 then got the second call from the same guy the following Monday who claimed he was a recruiter on behalf of VBros construction then the next call a lady with sweet voice who now told me she was going to send me a mail with instructions on how to make the payment.
I didnt suspect it at first, but when i looked at the mail closely and how the calls kept coming subsequently for me to make the payment i decided to visit Nairaland to see if anyone has the same experience.
Please to all my nairalanders be warned and help extend this warnings to others white guys are all out to scam innocent Nigerians by way of payback for our deeds.
Thanks.

this was the first number that called me for good 13mins. +1 204-674-3128. I was thinking it for real.To call for that long

then this number called me twice which I didn't see when it ranged. +1 647-556-5795
Re: Vbconstruct Canadaloves Scam by koby86: 12:59pm On Apr 17, 2019
if there is a way to blacklist these numbers on true caller as scammers it will go a long way to avoiding people falling for their plots.
also if one can tag the Efcc on Twitter from these guys it will really drive awareness to their pending dangers.
Re: Vbconstruct Canadaloves Scam by koby86: 1:04pm On Apr 17, 2019
At this stage now it is safe to say it is really dangerous and risky looking for job in this country. Everybody is against you both local and now international.
I think kidnappers and armed robbers are even safer.
Re: Vbconstruct Canadaloves Scam by koby86: 1:15pm On Apr 17, 2019
then I think those guys might be collaborating with Nigerians if not Nigerians impersonating them to scam job seeking Nigerians. cos I don't think a white man will conceive such an idea to be scamming third world country
Re: Vbconstruct Canadaloves Scam by koby86: 1:20pm On Apr 17, 2019
this made me believe the devil is truly working. cos all I see are guys that has computer guru ability in them,graphics designer,web designer etc. But instead of putting that to positive use see what they are using it to do. it's really pathetic.
