Thanks.

I got same too. buh, I cant tell if they are real or otherwise. I'll only do what they require and keep my fingers crossed.

I was duped in 2010 by same method of paying 4 medical test or employment process at Season plaza beside FRSC, Ojodu. By simple thinking, somebody that wnt 2 realy wnt 2 give u job will never ask u 4 a dine. Oyo State gvment also sold employment form in 2007 at 1700 each, till now more than 2million people have nt recieved employment letter. I advice u nt 2 fall mugun.

Why now? Where do they expect someone looking for job to get #3000? They are thieves, don't fall for them

There are so many corporate scams nowadays. And also many scams that look so real.

Its a big scam I can't believe ure even considering it

A serious / in-business company will never tell you to pay anything as mobilization. Be wary and wise.

Scammers at work. My boss also  received a text message that he won 1 mil in d Glo promo which turnd out false when he visited their office.

what is PAWA 774

PAWA 774 is a private sector-led initiative to deploy 10MW of clean, renewable energy power plants to each of the 774 local government areas in Nigeria.

Their full name is Providing Alternative Water to All. Their website is: www.PAWA774.com

What baffles me however is that they are requesting for money from interested applicants. This is fraud and NDE together with EFCC needs to be called in.

Pls o! This is scam. I recievd d mail and replied dem addresing dem as criminals. I am also suspectin sagytarius whose post subtly encourages pple 2 fall 4 d scam.

Clean and clear fraud. If they get people like you 1,000, they will smile to the bank with N3Million naira. With a million applicant, that is enough to buy him a home in Hawaii, period. If EFCC fails to get them before they relocate.

Don't give them a dime!

It's a Fraud!!!

Most definitely fraud. Every rub.bish faked company think they can deceive Nigerians in the name of employment. It is not their fault. It is our govt.

Whatever they are called does not mean anything any longer, what matters is NOT to fall victim!

Laughing at all the comments.

It appear to be legit, Though I am not asking anyone to part with $3k before doing their own research,

This is the company's contact from their website, why not give them a call or better still pay a visit or if you are in any of these places; ask someone to visit them, walk into the office, ask the receptionist one or two questions, I believe they will be more than happy to answer your question.

Though personally, even if it legit, I will never pay a fee or anything to a company that intend to employ me.

well i can tell you the person that built thier website did them some dis service, even if they are true to what they say they are, they website looks crappy[personal opinion], like my fellow NIGERIANS WOULD SAY : shine your eye

Pawa is a legit company and etranzact is their servicing company. So, i'm sure the msg is legit bt asking pple to pay so mch 2 write a test(which only a few wil pass)is just wrong. Anyhw,if u stil doubt the authenticity of d msg,u cn always contact them.

With the massive media adverts they had used,many young unemployed folks would have paid these thieves, I hope EFCC isn't far

Pls o, dont be decieved. The same company is stil recruitin acordin 2 dia scrappy website. And they(indiginous company) want 2 power the whole nigeria (wat obasanjo, yaradua, jonathan have been struglin wit) as a pilot project. And they need workers from all d LGAs in Nigeria (greater sample space of mugus). Have u tot about dia biz model? Where do dey hope 2 get dia return on investment 4rm? Wit dis kind of laudable project of theirs why is Berth Nnaji not mentionin dia name as one of d IPPs dat wil aid his power reforms? I bet d only busines this people hav is d ilegitimate biz of duping. BE WARNED!!!
