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.

That is not a good excuse not to report. He will be saving lives through that singular action.

What type of write up is this? Are you trying to report a crime? Or are you trying to warn people about some job scam?

No further details? No company name, no address, nature job, etc. I think if you really want to help people here, you should include some specific or tell us the whole gist. I'm tired of people post a half backed stories.

Expose this so crime gangs. The public should be aware of them.

I remembered this same story when a former colleague of mine was telling me to come and join him in this same company last year. He told me everything about the company here is Lagos around Ejigbo axis. He called the name of the company but couldn't remember the name again. I googled the company's name and what I saw was an eyesore.

I questioned him about this company and he told me that his uncle invited him and he had to pay 540K for documentation (Appointment letter, Identity Card, Dollar Account Opening). and that the company will pay him dollar weekly. He told me that they are into many things and also told me that the company will give you accomodation, feeding 2x daily etc. But as a Lagos boy, I Japa because I can't allow someone to scam me with my hard-earned money. I haven't heard anything from the guy again ever since I rejected the offer.

May God continue to guide and protect us all.. Amen

Please for the sake of us who didn't grow up in Benin, what does "drop message" mean?

Basically it is a cult slang, he will make a call to Benin and inform his gang what happened. They will locate the guy's family, get hold of probably his mom, cut or mess her up pretty bad, and ask her (if she is still alive) to inform the son to do the needful. That is the message that has been dropped.

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.


Few years ago, my close pal told me how this job on a rig is up and that one has to make a down payment of 500k before you get the letter of employment and redeployment.

I told him this sounds like a scam. He said in this life, you use money to look for money. I requested to speak with this his classmate in secondary school who is supposed to be working there already.

He gave me his number, I rang the bagga lizard and from his disjointed English, my suspicion was confirmed.

Long story short, my friend and his brother paid a whopping one million naira and till today, no show. The matter don reach the guy village and the parents promised to sell a piece of land and pay my guy and his brother. Till today, no show.

Beware of friends.
Beware of Nigerians.

My sister call they are offering job in PH, that a lot of her neighbor family have gone there, and they are treating them well, they will give u free apartment and food and pay you well,

She told me how many people are selling there landed property to travel to PH to pay the sum of 500k

I almost fall for that because she was pressurinsing me to sell everything I have and travel there.

One of the company is called Qnet.... Though you won't be held hostage but you will be given a room to stay with others and made to work with the conviction that you will make loads of money from your down payment.
Please let's all be careful.


There was a guy at a spot we normally hang out together after working hour and he was telling us about this new company saying they deal with golds and will be paying you 450k every week but you have to pay 500k first to secure the job.... I was the first person to busrt into laff cuz I couldn't fathom how person could be dis dull like the person doesn't rate you at all to even tell you dis bs in the first place... How would you tell me to pay 500k to secure a job of 450k weekly payment? Bro dis sh8t doesn't sound real at all and I wonder how people could fell for it...

I knw the guy could have done it if he had such money but d funny thing is he still trying to defend dis story say it may be true.. Lol na der I come shock say mugu still dey tru tru oo..

Now let's start with which post are they putting you to earn 450k weekly?? Guy man no fit talk... I just dey laff ham

You go hear d way some people get scam sef go just funny you one kind say nah so some people dull reach.

You think you're watching Hollywood movies where you can trace calls? How many times or people you know have traced calls? If tracing calls is easy, all those people writing jobs offers on walls, fences, etc would be caught.

How many of your people living outside your state have you asked for the address of their company? Persin go open mouth talk nonsense full ground

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.

1. Just pray that you or anybody you know never falls into certain situation cos when u try to explain what happend people might think you are narrating a movie you just watched.

2. I brought this up cos of the advise the other fellow was seeking for and I also share this experience on his thread.

3. Experience is the best teacher, not everyone is as wise as you, if you go out there and see what people do or go through just to make money. You will just thank God for your life.

Lol, so this my guy chijioke called me on a Sunday morning that he wants to come to my house to pass time b4 he goes home and I agreed,so when he came he told me about a job offer in Lagos with a company that deals in many stuffs like hospital equipment and what have you,he even said that he is undergoing training there and will soon be employed when he is done with the training. He also said that he had to travel to East three times so as to get enough money to pay the company for the employment and I was like lol

Connected me with the manager and the manager said that I'll have to pay the sum of 560k for me to be able to get the job and that they will also help me prepare an international visa, what made me suspicious was he always makes use of a phrase "financial freedom" which chijioke has also said on different occasions during our discussion plus asking me to pay money lol.

I was even worried that my guy has entered into the hands of GNLD people and another thing is that he doesn't answer his calls during daytime except night.

I got to know that he told many people about the same job offer but used different story for each person, he told one guy that he will be paid 85k per month but told me that I'll be paid 200k per week. I warned people to be wary of him cos he might be working with scammers, nigga still called me yesterday sef.
Same here, my friend fell for this shiiit stuffs, and has been disturbing me to join him in Lagos for the fuçķìñg job offer. As if its by force.
