Urgent Help Needed by dimple571991(m): 6:38pm On Mar 13, 2019
Good evening fellow nairalanders, I will like to make this brief, pls i need your opinion.
I submitted a lot of applications both Local and international that I can't remember all.
On Monday I got a call from this number +12892033940 that she is one of the HR of a company in Canada that I applied to as an electrician, she said she is to conduct an oral interview for me, that we are many who submitted application that if I am qualified, I will get a mail back from the company, the call lasted for like 30 minutes.
Today I got a mail from the said HR of the company Gilberts Group that my application is successful, and they stated in the mail details of the said employment, the pay benefits and working hours.
In the mail I was directed to another agent Canadalovesyou.com ,they said the agent will handle my visa and some other immigration process to be able to be in Canada.
This evening another number called me from the said Canada lovesyou agent and was directing me on the website, it got to a place where I was told to pay 79 euros as access fee to proceed with my application, I had to tell her I don't have up to that in the account, and she said why didn't I tell her before wasting her time. I told her i will get back to her before the week runs out.
Please my people I need your matured opinion on this issue, I am not gainfully employed at the moment and I am not desperate for a greener pastures.
Please I need your advice

After thorough analysis, we have come to the following conclusive points:

It is very suspicious to get a job offer abroad by merely speaking with the interviewer over the phone who gives you an ultimatum to start visa processing through a particular website – canadalovesyou.com
From the information we have gathered, all communications with them have only been via phone and email. There’s no known Nigerian representative. That’s a red flag.
The €79 charge for Visa processing seems to be a trap. When asked to pay, an applicant informed them that he already has a Canadian Visa and they immediately ended the call on him.
The 5-day ultimatum on visa processing is a form of pressure.
It’s only rational to ask to meet an applicant for proper recognition and documentation before visa processing. Prioritizing payment over everything is a strong indication of fraud.
A company in a developed country such as Canadian that claims to have been in operation since 1983, executing some of the biggest and most challenging projects in the country, including multi-billion dollar facilities should have had a website before 2019. A quick run of “Whois Gilberts Group” indicates that the website domain was registered on the 25th of January 2019. Even the Canada loves you website is relatively in its infant stage. Fishy huh?
Their “Employment Letter” contains juicy baits to lure you into parting with your money. Typical of scam mails.
Please be aware that Jobzilla Nigeria in no way endorses Gilberts Group or any of its activities. Consequently, henceforth, we will desist from posting job vacancies from Gilberts Group until further notice.

We urge you to always speak out on your unpleasant experiences with employers. This will help save other unsuspecting applicants from the preying hands of scammers.
