On investigation of this job offer and the hotel in question. All hands point to a well concorted scam.

My pity lies with the many desperate jobseekers that will fall for it.�������

This is just a heads-up, in case you know anyone that is facing such offer.
These are the red flags:
i) Click on the company's website and you will discover that the address is not secure. Add "https://" in front of the given website to reach the secured site, instead they used *http://*
ii) The given email address is a free email address like Gmail or Yahoo but not a *example@magil.com* address.
iii) The given contact telephone number is different from the one on the secured company's website.
iv) When Bela Vargas sent me the payment details to pay for my accommodation, it was to a private Western Union Account, instead of a Bela Vargas Resort and Hotel Account.

They use other companies too, to defraud, so don't narrow your searchlight on Magil Construction Limited alone.

*PLEASE BEWARE OF THESE JOB SCAMMERS!*

Unemployment in itself is a disease, why worsen the plight of the unemployed by adding to their woes scamming them of their almost non existent resources. It is wickedness, dark hearts everywhere.

This is stale. No one can fall for it anymore.

Thunder fire APC for this level of hardship and unemployment in this nation

Not every ad you apply to.people should not be so desperate.

Unemployment is causing real havoc in this country

Nawa o

Scamming the unemployed and making them more miserable.

How much lower can these cretins descend?!

Job seekers wise up, it seems like you are the favourite prey of these i.diots at the moment.

Thanks for the timely information.

If you're above 25 years old and you still fall for all the cheap scams, definitely you must be Ole in disguise or you should go back to the womb for another 18 months.

A note of warning - NEVER CLICK ON ANY LINK WITHIN A SUSPECTED SCAM MAIL AS THE OP ADVISED!

The idea behind the email in the first place is to click through and phish your details. The OP might have been lucky that the link they added to the email is genuine. In most cases, it is never genuine - cybersquatted sites are often used in masking their fraud and phishing is often the endgame!

You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself
be defeated. -Maya Angelou

Nairaland has saveda lot of people from being victims of it.

Reformerss:
This is stale. No one can fall for it anymore.

News flash!!!
People still fall for this scam till tomorrow.

i) Click on the company's website and you will discover that the address is not secure. Add "https://" in front of the given website to reach the secured site, instead they used *http://*

This could be a pointer to identify the scammers but getting an https is not hard at all, it's even quite easy, so those looking for jobs, don't relax your mind because the website is on https.
