Now that NYSC is over, I think the next step for most of us is getting a suitable job, but we should beware of scam jobs and false recruitment agencies. Lets hint ourselves of the scam recruitment agencies you know. it will be bad if we fall victim with our level of education. I know one which is called EBT (Esther Breakthrough). Beware!!!!

Think you should throw more light on this EBT stuff.

Again, some of your colleagues will start sending you messages telling you that there is a job opening in Chevron, Shell or Agip in Portharcourt or Lagos. They will demand some amount of money after establishing a contact between you and their "ghost oga" who happens to be their member. They are going to get your phone numbers from the Year book that will contain the data of all passing out Corp members in your state, which is normally distributed on the passing out day.
Most times the message reads:
" This is Mr. ABC your Colleague in XYZ Orientation Camp. Have you gotten a job? If no, call me now. I am in offshore and recruitment is ongoing in Agip, Portharcourt".
Please ignore this kind of message. Many people have been ripped off through this scam mail.

MY ELDER BROTHER WAS SENT THIS SAME TEXT MESSAGE. i TOLD HIM OUT-RIGHTLY WHEN I SAW IT THAT IT WAS A SCAM. BE WARNED!

There goes one scam as well

Ex corpers shine your eyes do not be decieved by any one,be wise.

And i keep asking this question....Why should you pay somebody in order to get a job? It simply does not make sense to me

I had to login in to comment on this. Got d sms dis morning, dude was claimin he was my friend. Mistake he made was callin me by my yoruba name. No one calls me that but that's d name nysc used in d magazine. I'm still in contact with the scammers. He just called 30mins ago and gave an oceanic acct nos askin me to hurry up be4 12. Told him I'll pay d moni be4 12. I'm just lookin for a way to disgrace them. Any ideas?

i actually applied for a vacancy like that and almost immediately i got a message inviting me for an interview. on getting there on saturday, i found out all of us passed the test...lol.... how? ,,,then we were asked to pay a sum of 2500.....some paid but i told dem that if i ve to pay for a job it must be will shell and i must ve receive my first salary....no real employment agency will ask u to pay b4 giving u an appointment...BEWArE!!!

My experience:
"Hi..., this is Michael Nnaka. ur kopa mate @ Kaduna state,Code:.KD/11A/2649. I wrk wit Shell Oil Company now in Rivers State. Hav u gotten any job?. Can u wrk wit Shell oil compny? If u wil cal me now on 08169069569 for details. They are recruiting now."
Received on 14-Mar-2012 by 11:08am.
I called for the benefit of doubt the following day & he sent another contact who he claimed to be the HRM & his in-law.
"His Name is Dr. Reuben Hart phone no:08033782045 He is the human resources manager Shell Rivers State."
Received on 15-Mar by 08:35.
I called the contact but the Igbo accent on the man's tongue was terrible, which caused me to be cautious. I stopped calling because I wasn't actually looking for a job but just for the benefit of doubt. Nigeria graduates, God will not give you jobs but bless you with well paid EMPLOYMENTS. Pls watchout, don't be victims pls.

^^^ is it d terrible tribal accent that made u cautious or d obvious dubious moves u jus enjoy being unnecessarily tribalistic on a supposed national forum lik ds. Foolishkunle*

[quote author=lighternote][/quote]why will you complain that he said the man has igbo accent

I received such text message last year. The mistake the dude made was that he called me by my muslim name whereas people call me by my other name! I decided to call the dude with my official line (the number goes thus : XXXXX00000), he was afraid seeing such unique but strange number and his trepidation was evident from the way he spoke. I sternly warned him to desist from such act of duplicity and if not, he would be brought to book!!! May God save our beloved country!!!

I actually got a call from an unknown friend and d idiot made d mistake of sayingg dat we served in d same place. Funny enough, I'm done with nysc but still working at d place of my primary assignment. I had to call him bak with my hard earned money but when he said i shld call another person, i got suspicious. I sha told him i will call d number but up till this moment, he hasn't called bak to ask me why i didn't call d number...wish he can just cal to ask so dat I'd demand for a call credit

I think we all should be a little more cautious.

Avoid posting your phone numbers and e-mail addresses publicly.

Avoid replying mails asking for your details from an anonymous person.

Avoid text messages asking for favours (e.g recharge card or cash) in order to get jobs. Delete them immediately.

Don't bother to reply a company whose e-mail ends with @yahoo.com or @gmail.com. E.g nnpc@yahoo.com, or nysc@gmail.com.

Confirm all websites before posting your details on it. You should know that most scammers have duplicated some websites, an example is the gtbank site which was duplicated by scammers some time ago (its been fixed though).

So you have to be very careful where you send your details to.

Good luck.

Double post.

Omg... this just happened to me,they sent me a text, called bck out of curiosity, cud barely hear what dude was saying with his thick igbo accent.....after i called his useless oga, and i heard 25k for recruitment form... i just knew it was a scam....i insulted them ehn..... na wa

See, i've received up to 19 in the last one week with different addresses. I just wonder why the law enforcement agent havent nabbed any of these thieves. And incase you received a mail or an sms inviting you for a test/interview session from a company you know you never sent you cv to, or peradventure you sent your cv to them but didnt know they are scammers. Just google the name of that company, and all their factfile will pop up. Nairaland has really being of help in this regard.
