Be prepared to undergo 2weeks training before proper job placement opportunity begins. Salary up to 95,000. Call 08137234351 Ms Favour.

The tone of the text should tell you this is pure scam. Nxt thing is that you will be ask to pay for training.

You've been shortlisted for an INTERVIEW at DYNAMIC RESOURCES LTD on TUE 26/5/15 by 9am,16 Ondo Str,Ebute meta WEST,Apapa Road Oyingbo Lagos. Ref: DL44BA.
Is this a scam invite?

Any company you don't apply to and send you interview invitation is a scam. This is a scam.

JOB-INVITE: You have been shortlisted for an Aptitude test/job selection on thusday 28/5/15 @91 Alimosho rd, by Alaguntan b/stop Iyana Ipaja Lagos. Time 9am.Ref: HRM 001.

I just received the sms above but my instincts tells me its a scam. pls, who else received this...

Purely a scam. Another guide is that the interview invitation will be communicated to you less than 24 or 48hrs so that you won't have time to verify the genuineness of the invitation. They are catching in on gullibility of youth of today and their desperation to get job out of frustration

frankolett:
I did receive it too, I think is a scam

Don't think it's purely a scam. Follow the general guidelines posted earlier to identifying job scam.

hassanbino:
I want to ask may this work is genuine I
apply for a rigger in a private company in
lagos they ask us to pay #33,000 for training
and kit

Don't waste your money it's a scam. Any company that employ you will give you training on the job if required and not recruitment agency.

Follow below simple guide and stop allowing job desperation get you scammed.

I have seen so many Nairalanders complaining and lamenting their ordeal in the hands of fake scam companies who invite people for interview only to introduce them to fake drug marketing business.
I'm doing this not only because these companies waste people's time, energy and T-fair going to such interviews, but also because most of these scammers extort money from hapless job seekers thereby making their suffering times two.
Imagine a scammer extorting #10,500 from a graduate who have been unemployed for years, not to talk of the transport fare wasted going to such fruitless interviews or job chat as they usually call it.
Some people even borrow money to pay these sheep in wolves clothing, who promise them heaven on earth. Some will tell you that you will make half a million within 1 month and all that. If you're not careful, you will take a loan that you will not be able to repay thus causing embarrassment and lack of rest of mind. An unemployed person should have only himself to worry about, not having debts also.

So I believe that if we are properly guided, we will not fall into the hands of these scammers.
Having said that, there are ways by which one can identify a fake or scam interview invitation and there fore avoid such waste of time and money. The good thing is that most of their messages come in the same format, so you will know its fake!

1. The message does not bear a company name: most of these scammers won't include their names on the message you will receive. All you will see are the address, the time and date and a phone number. A genuine company will not hide its identity from a potential employee.

2. The message will say "interview/job briefing": whatever job briefing means I don't know!
3. You will see a code or reference: something like "HR=0056" or "REF=002". This is an indication of the code number of the person who invited you to the "job briefing".
4. It will contain a phone number: this is the number of your referer. Most genuine companies don't give phone numbers.
5. You will see HR Admin in the message instead of company name
6. If you call their number, they will be reluctant to give info on the company.


And pls, ignore those people sharing job flyers on the streets, and those ones they paste on walls. Those are scammers and some ritualists too. And also most of these so called agencies are avenues for duping unsuspecting job seekers. Pls shine your eyes well well.
I will post the names of some of these fake companies/ agencies later.

Pls if you have any experiences inthe hands of these scammers kindly share it here so that others can learn and avoid them too. Thank you

Cheers!

Gentle folks on this thread my Gsm number was given though publicly but it's on a special request based on relationship and confidence and understanding that it will not be abused. However in recent times I have been bothered with many request from people calling me for enquiries about Funaab admission. I wish to state that am not an admission officer am a parent who joined this thread because of my passion for interacting with young folks and in pursuit of admission for my sons. This is just to set the record straight.
