New Scam In Town - Lagos & Ph by infoleak: 11:51am On Jan 05, 2023
My in-laws brother was recently scammed.
He was told to pay 600k for a job in a company and that his salary will be paid in dollars every week.

He sold all he had and left for Lagos without consulting any family member. He was welcomed by his so called employers and ushered into a building that looks like an office. After paying the fees he was held hostage and striped off every belongings and kept in a room. There he saw other victims being used by these so called employers.

His line was not connecting, they give him the phone to communicate when they want to pass any information in their favour and after that no more phone call, the victim might even be forced to tell you that he is very busy that's y you he can't be reached anytime until he calls back.

They use these victims held hostage to convince family members or friends to come over and take the job/business offer.

As soon as you get there, they strip you off every belongings, seize you phone and collect the money you brought. Once you are there they threaten to kill you if you don't corporate with them. They will tell you call a family member or friend and tell them about the business/job and that you have started benefiting.

In my in-laws brother's case, his escape from where he was kept hostage was a miracle. He is back to zero.

Please share this information with your family and friends so that non will fall victim.

Thank you.

Most genuine jobs won’t require a down payment before hiring. Once a fee is attached to a job, it’s most likely a scam.

God help us

He was in Benue before leaving for Lagos, he doesn't even know anywhere. He said he is thinking about how to start life over again. Their victims are mostly people from other states who are not familiar with Lagos.

This your Nollywood Movie make sense
When is the part 2 coming out

This Is the movie where Kanayo is the CEO of the company?
And yul edochie is looking for job and kanayo told him to pay 600k..
And Michael zubi is the bad guy holding them hostage inside the building.
I think the name of the movie is Royal Simp

Op, tell us when the part 2 will come out

Building that your brother escaped miraculously and he also miraculously forgot the address of the building.
All the people that were held hostage inside 1 building. Making calls to there family and the "worrried" family can't track the calls and none of them know the address of the company..
Not even their close friends or roomates know the address of the company abi??
Tell us when when part 2 is coming out. Nonsense

Any job you have to pay to get is probably a scam


If it's private organisation job it's definitely a scam

Greed is the only reason people fall for scammers ,they even promised to pay him in dollars without first evaluating his competence and he believed them ....the bait was the hard currency 'dollars ' he kept imagining how rich he will become within few years in the job...my motto have always been don't believe it if is too easy...and this is why I don't believe in gambling, betting games etc..but thanks dear for sharing it op ,most greedy folks will learn from this...this is damn risky ,he didn't even inform anyone, this is how people disappear without a trace...and family will be looking for them forever with out knowing that thier loved one is buried so where ...now he gave them down payment of 600k for roasted corn chai
