Re: How To Identify A Scam Interview Invitation by kari4chat: 3:02pm On Feb 15, 2020
LaurelP:
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!

Re: How To Identify A Scam Interview Invitation by DanielGb(m): 11:49am On Feb 19, 2020
GNLD is not bad. At least there product work. But the sales and marketers they have, all make it a fraud.

I was at Chemline House, 7 Obasa Rd, Ikeja. Sometimes, the wouldn't put Obasa. They will say, second gate, beside a company like that.

From the entrance to the room for interview, it was all suspicious. Everyone of them standing like soldier in pair, at every corner of the stairs.

The horrible thing is, we all sat in a room, with 4 morons (their soldiers) at the four corners of the room, sweating with us in a room with a small standing fan. They were all dressed in suit and tie (awon werey).

I observed everyone was quiet, and it looks strange to me. I want to interact. So, I initiated a convo, only for me to be told I am distracting others. Egbami! is this a cemetery. At this point, I have confirmed they are GNLD, even though they want to Bobo everyone.

I waited for some time, before I disrupt everything for them. Last last, I cause a scene there o... Immediately, the head came around to invite me to please come out of that room, so that I won't pollute others.

I told them to take me into the room for the interview. On getting inside, it was similar to where I was before. Suit and tie guys sweating like goats without electricity.

I sat, before a lady. She was the one asking me what I came here for. Although, I explained to her that I was there for an interview for the role of a business data analyst intern. She heard me, but didn't know anything about data analysis. Instead, she was asking about if I can sell. If I have business skills in meeting people et al. I completely wept inside, for wasting my time and money to come here. It wasn't her fault, all she know is to sell drug.

I left, and didn't bother for response.

These people are terrible.

WARNING: Don't sign up on this website - JOBOMAS (Google search it). Its a GNLD website. They claim to be an HR consulting firm.

They form all manners of names as company, and spam your email with excess messages of those fake companies recruitment.

Please, endeavour to Google search a company, its address, before coming. Some of these firms, don't exist.

Chemline House, 7 Obasa Rd, Ikeja I remember this one, they waste my time eh... I sensed something wasn't right immediately I step into the premises, I should have trusted by instinct and leave immediately but then I needed a job. just avoid any interview you didn't apply for around ikeja especially ogba or alausa, they are all GNLD.
