wow... me and my bro have conclude it's legit, but we don't have anyone in USA.

that's our major consign now.

Looks shady to me. There are several payment platforms where you can be paid from anywhere in the world. Why must it be a friend or relative based in the US to pick-up your payment on your behalf?

Americans don't use the word "duplex", they use the words like house, mansion, storey building or apartment complex to describe their structures.

Anybody that wants to contact the op should better tread with caution before you land yourself in hot water

Scam. They want to use you guys as picker

if it's real, then I will personally call this a miracle.. because his financially down and this will go a long way in solving some of our financial issues.

TUANKU:
He should do a little background check. I pray it’s genuine, wishing him all the best.

PinkNature:
Looks real. I'd advise you crop out the name of the sender.

kevoh:
You and your brother need a form of insurance payment thats he will not work for nothing like an escrow. Also, open a virtual US account with Geegpay, they can send his money to the account(if the job is legit) and you simply send the naira equivalent to your Nigerian bank account on the same Geegpay within the same day.

lazkizz:
We have done a exclusive background check and we discovered it's 90% legit,

ghettochild:
It's a scam....
Now ask them to pay u via virtual dollar account that u have been advised to open..
And hear their response..
Secondly if u read that entire letter very well.
Na Nigerian format...
Secondly if it was legit... they'd have asked for a contact number to speak with you or have a video call.

Omoawoke2:


He applied for a gig and just got so lucky

So lucky!!! Testimony time.

Just like nollywood

I’d advise you to apply for that same Gig and see if you won’t get lucky too, send that same gig to everybody in your neighborhood and they will all get lucky too

Bring that link to nairaland and if 1000 nairalanders apply, there will be 1000 more lucky people that will get that same offer

This cracked me up

I smell a scam. I suspect they wanna use your US contact address for a CHEQUE SCAM!

They'll overpay you like 5 times more and ask you to refund the balance and when the cops are searching for the scammer, they go to your contact address.

You've been warned!

KingOfAmebo:


Oga, that is what Americans call it and not the reason it is pure scam. We call it Cheque they call it Check.

KingOfAmebo:


Seun and investigation are far from each other..

As far as the post will bring traffic

















This is pure scam and not a new format by yahoo boiz...they will surely mail the check to whoever is going to receive it on your brothers behalf, they will mail $2000 check to the receiver (victim) and request a refund of 50% back to another account claiming it was a mistake on their path to have sent the full payment instead of the planned 50% deposit. The victim will refund $1000 and keep the remaining but banks will detect the money is from a hacked account and will debit the receiver (victim) the entire $2000, the yahoo boiz just cashed out cool $1000 without a sweat while your brother and the good Samaritan fight over what happened to his/her account.

Nairaland moderator is also ignorant of this scam by ignorantly giving the format free publicity, seun your mods needs to be street wise, it is not everything you push to frontpage, investigate first.

ArcSEMPECJ:
Hmmm.....
This sounds like a Nigerian format , 5 bedroom Duplex
Run a 2D / 3D animation?
Sounds like a plan to me or the work of all these Nigerian Structural Engineers who collects brief from Clients and look for an Architect they will defraud of his works...

Mu advice is that he should discuss further with the sender....

As an Architect, one needs the survey plan of the site to know your design limits...
Of thru can provide that, I think the site address will be seen if it is truly legit...

If they insist on giving a rough measurement , then I think it is better hr threads carefully...

Let him narrow it down to where he will be favoured or be safe atleast 70% than for them to take all...by asking them to pay him directly as he opens a foreign account...

Meanwhile, he should never send any finished work to them ....

He should break down that $2000 and tell them to pay him in stages...

First Stage...

Sketched Drawings without dimensions and sketched 3D...$1000
Front elevation.......$300

Second Stage....
Name your fee as well....

With that, you can hold them by the balls and be in control...

I repeat...do not send finished works even if they are Legits....

Am an Architect, am still battling with one USA client like that, designed a Hotel for him, 1 year plus now, he only directed me to his PAs and blocked me on Whatsapp and Facebook...
