I applied for various jobs at indeed after concluding my nysc,but I couldn't secure a job in lagos.

So I decided to go back to port harcourt,to try my luck and after a day of applying. I got an email from biohuman crystal consult scheduling me for an interview.

They were three phases of the interview Writing phase,job description and oral phase.

We were about 25 in the hall taking the tests. Simple questions were asked during the writing phase and it rose my suspicion,after that the manager came for the job description and she started boasting of how she became successful as a worker here.

She took most of our time brainwashing us and telling us how the company stands above others that they are some sort of health consulting firm and they pay real well,she was self assertive.

She was asking us to stand if we want to be part of the workforce,we all stood but she insisted that she wouldn't take us all. We were now worried and anxious.

She told us that we have to make a mandatory payment of 20,000, the 20,000 is for our medical and safety wears and the first people to pay would be among the leading team.

Some stood and she directed them to another office for the payment,she left and her second took the lead.

He was asking if we could make an installmental payment of 10000 when they pay our July salary we would complete it from the salary some stood and they were directed to a separate office for the payment. I told him I could pay only 5k at that moment.

He said no wahala but I must be a man of integrity and pay the remaining balance after I receive my July salary. So I paid.

They told me they would send a text message to me and I later received it.(on the picture below)

I came for the training and it was rubbish as expected. They were just boasting on how they've made it in life and they were talking about the job.

They said they consult with different companies on how to live a healthy life,what to eat and the right way to live. We spent almost 4 hours on the rubbish training, later someone called me outside and I answered and he told me to complete the payment that I would be separated soon but the initial guy told me that I would complete the payment from my July salary.

He told me to go back to the training office,after some time I was separated and told to complete the payment before I continued the training.

I just left the premises smiling to myself. Nigerians and scam sha. You guys should be careful out there any job interview message with consult,global,HR with phone number is suspicious
Haha thank God you are even smart to understand is a scam in the early

Let me shock you... All those who stood up immediately when asked to make 20k payment are working with them.

The same thing happened to me in Onitsha back then. The casually dressed lady that was seated beside me was working with these scammers and while I was busy trying to discourage her from paying to these scammers, she stood up and walked up to the front to join others who wished to pay.

LOL... The moment I hear payment in any job interview.. I don open door find my way out.

men also beg women for money

Thermodynamics:

That's because men are the ones who look for money, women just seat around begging men for money.
Besides, the leader of the scam is a woman, or didn't you read the OP's post?
