I wouldn’t say it is, really.

I have done my research and I honestly think they’re are not.

You too can do your research.

If you don’t trust the options they gave to get your notarization done, you can always do it in with any law practitioner/firm around you.

I also applied for the job and will 100% go through with the notarization and be present for the physical interview with a sprinkle of being careful.

I was about making payment for the notarization to attend the in-person interview. Is it truly a scam?

Hi. I do not totally agree with you. They have been operating in other countries including Ghana, so right now, they are looking to get into Nigeria to give practical climate education to schools, communities and office spaces.

For the Notary, including plugs for such purpose was probably to make it easy for prospective persons because honestly, I never knew what Notary is, talk less of how to go about it. So that link gave me an understanding of what Notary is and also some person that could make it work without even stressing myself.

I think you need to understand that they work with processes and having a coordinator is not really something to point out because they cannot be everywhere. I’m Ghana has their own coordinators in different regions and that’s what it’ll be like here as their own kind of structure.

And no the assessment wasn’t rushed and filled with irrelevant or frustrating questions.

It was just questions that required them to know that you really are what you are as regards the role you applied for.

I’ll need you to be objective and see how the whole thing turns out.

This job is showing all the signs of being a scam. First of all, why are we being asked to meet physically for a job that was clearly advertised as remote? In this digital age, any legitimate remote role should conduct interviews virtually—via Google Meet, Teams, or Zoom. The insistence on a physical meeting already raises red flags.

Secondly, why were we added to a WhatsApp group and addressed by a “coordinator” before we were even offered the job? No credible organization does that. A proper recruitment process doesn’t start with a group chat. It starts with an official offer and onboarding process—not random group messages.

Thirdly, the payment request is the biggest red flag of all. Initially, they said no payments were required. Yet suddenly, there’s a link directing us to pay for an notarization.No reputable company would ask candidates to pay money—especially not through informal channels. At most, they would direct you to verify your documents legally, perhaps through a court—not to an unknown person or payment platform.

And when you look into this company, you’ll find that the only review on the entire internet is from one person in nairaland and it was posted just last month, around the same time their LinkedIn page was created. How is that possible for a company that’s supposedly doing mass recruitment? There’s no background, no history, no credibility.

Let’s also be real about the numbers. They claim over 500 of us got this “financing” role through an NGO. But where’s the funding for that kind of scale? Who’s paying the salaries? And speaking of salary—$350 to $700 per week? That sounds too good to be true. In today’s economy, especially in Nigeria, that kind of pay for a supposedly entry-level, remote role is highly suspicious. Do you know how much that is in naira? It doesn’t add up.

Even the assessment process was questionable. Some say it was rigorous—it wasn’t. It was rushed and filled with irrelevant, frustrating questions. Recruitment wrapped up in less than two weeks. That’s not how proper hiring processes work.

Everything about this smells off. From the WhatsApp group to the payment link, the unrealistic pay, and the company’s non-existent digital presence—it’s all screaming scam. Please, let’s be vigilant and not fall for it.
