Before I got a menial job which I'm currently working on till date, I have stayed unemployed for 10 years.

So, at that time my family became really worried about me and they were anxious. My mother died in this horrible time in my life, and my father out of desperation paid the sum of 800,000 to this guy to help get me a job in a any federal establishment.

August will make it one year since my family paid that money and the only thing we are getting is excuses upon excuses from the guy.

Please guys, is it too early to press the panic button or do you think we are already scammed by this guy?
I think you should do something about your life. I can spot the spirit of mental laziness in you. Must you work in an organization or federal govt? You are lazy in your mind. And about the 800k you wasted, Yes, you have been scammed. Wake up and do something about your destiny. Locate Jesus first, I do not mean going to Church, I mean locate Jesus Christ first. Go and start ready books like Think and Grow Rich, etc. Thank me later.

Yes you're being scammed. Take it case to EFCC they will get your money back and they won't take more than 10k from you. Locate one of their office in your state. Do not be ashamed of your action. Make a move today. Recovery your money! Do not report it to the police or Lawyer. Go to EFCC! I can go with you if you're in Kwara State. You will get your money back!
Thank you for being very encouraging and kind to this person that I assume you don’t even know.
The situation is unfortunate and definitely sounds like a scam!

Clearly, you have been scammed.
However, talk to the person first, ask him for a refund.
Do not take further action if he's known to be violent, abeg.
Else, contact EFCC as suggested

If you live in Abuja, come to our radio station with the evidence of payment and the proof that the person is working in that organisation, we will recover your money for you by God's grace.
We just recovered through me by God's grace 650k from an NSCDC staff who scammed a guy. She collected that money from him and of course there was no job. We worked with fccpc and the rest was history.

You people were scammed.
You all should stop paying money for jobs. Please stop

lol … why did you decide to stay unemployed for 10 years … do you know that if you had taken that 800k and started a small business with it , business like Thrift clothes , selling of shoes , bags , etc … by now you wud have had like 3 shops ?… or is it that you are not the business type ?… oh you prefer to work under the federal govt to be collecting peanuts … better wise up
Didïnrin is looking for ‘PENSIONABLE JOB’ ni. In their mouth.

He wants to be lazying around and taking brïbe.

As of 2002, people have been paying over 800k to get Federal Civil Service jobs.

Re: I'm Beginning To Think That My Family Was Scammed. by Olumaeme: 2:57pm On May 06, 2025
Your money is gone. Go to Brekete family to recover your money if you want.
Re: I'm Beginning To Think That My Family Was Scammed. by sreamsense: 3:41pm On May 06, 2025
Report the person to the EFCC for collecting money to get federal job for you, and tell your father to surrender himself also to police/EFCC for giving bribe for someone to get you job. Submit also yourself to correctional center for inability to get that money from your father and turn your fortune around for better by starting small. All you life is tied on getting federal job, so you failed to get right skill for plan B. All of you have case to answer!
Re: I'm Beginning To Think That My Family Was Scammed. by Advancedman(m): 4:00pm On May 06, 2025
Your family have 800k to give to some random individuals yet you cannot start something with that money.
Probably you were wrongly programmed, go to school get a good grade then get a job and slave through life for the next 35 years.
Re: I'm Beginning To Think That My Family Was Scammed. by Mistersolar: 4:12pm On May 06, 2025
like what digital skill
Xannadu:
Your father should have given you that 800k to learn a digital skill. 800k would have given you a good laptop plus data for at least 6months. What you guys did was not smart.

Make sure to keep your affairs in order b4 escorting him to Kwara EFCC office.
Walahi talahyi if you return back the same day, change my name.

The person you are escorting is as guilty as the person who collected the money.
Bribe giver and bribe taker all na inside corruption swimming pool dem dey swim, same like thief wey thief okada and the Buyer of the okada.
Without bribe giver, there will be no bribe taker.
The worst part be say going by Nigeria cash and carry justice system, person wey take bribe na im hold money.
Una no get shi shi and una no dey give shi shi like my beloved Peter Obi so the justice wey una dey find dey for Valhalla.
Let Kwara EFCC cell as accomplice not be your portion over something on nairaland.
When bail time reach, na to your tents O Isreal and everybody go answer im papa name.
Try visit Kwara prison, u go hear cases of persons wey escort another person go Police station, case change like water to wine, police detain them, charge dem to court, court remand them for prison, them apply bail and the main accused bail imself comot, escort remain for prison till today.
Cases like this dey plenty for Kano here wey I know.
A word to the wise is Sophie e sense.

Unfortunately, the law will punish the giver and taker of bribe. The offence have the same gravity. Good luck to you.

Sorry but if you have to pay any money to get any job anywhere in the world, the possibility you are being scammed is higher than 50% and more like 90% in Nigeria.

EFCC does not take cases below a certain threshold. N5m or so.

I agree with you sis but I used to think like dis until I discover say most Nigerians are very very ignorant.
The most important book in Nigeria is the constitution and the penal code.
I can tell you confidently that 95% of people on nairaland have never ever read a single page in it and will never do unless you pay them to read it.

So when we dey drop advice, no be to educate that future prisoner but to educate everybody including the ones wey dey plan tomorrow morning to escort somebody - whether friend or family to Police for any case wey dem no be material witness to.
The escort you need is your lawyer.
But for dis bribery case, even with lawyer, he will leave the court a convict and be given a sentence with an option of fine, avoiding jail as a worst case scenario plus still forfeit the bribe money to Tinubu.

You guys have been scammed long ago even before you start seeing it as a scam

You can report him to the EFCC and they will go after him

He may go to jail for that and that's enough punishment for him even if you didn't get your money back

I swear bro, I dnt know why people are addicted to 9 to 5, with that 800K, OP would have learnt Mobile app Dev or Web dev, get a good lappy and go on Upwork to work and get paid in USD.

We need to stop this craze of Federal service jobs. They can't pay sh!t.

"[/i]I can relate. A friend of mine took this journey a few years ago. Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned—he paid a huge sum to a scammer and got nothing in return.

But here’s the inspiring part: today, he’s doing well. The same father who unknowingly funded that failed attempt later supported him in starting a business. Now, he’s a proud proprietor. He has built not just one, but two schools from the ground up—all by himself.

His story is a reminder that setbacks don’t define the end. Sometimes, they’re just part of the process."

If your father is paying 800k to secure a job whose monthly pay based on your level wont be more than 110k you re not from a poor family.

You re simply lazy and irresponsible. Federal civil service doesnt need your type, they have them in excess already.

Congrats you ve been scammed.
Federal civil servant earn more than that for level 8
