    FRAUD REPORT

    This is my ordeal yesterday at a company called Seaway Co. (Nig) Ltd, Bamgbose Street, Off Kadiri Street.

    Attendant: Good-day, how may I help you?
    Me: Good-day. I came to submit an application for a job.
    Attendant: May I have your CV.

    I then proceeded to give him my CV. All the while I was very suspicious and apprehensive because the guy looked very unkempt and the place was a windowless 8 by 6 shop. After perusing my CV and credentials, we then proceeded as follows:

    Attendant: You see, we are a beverage company with factories in Oshodi, Apapa and Ikeja. Due to the
    nature of the chemicals we work with, we require that you undergo a medical test to know if you
    are asthmatic.
    Me: I am not asthmatic.
    Attendant: We know, we just have to follow the policy of the company.
    Me: Ok, I am ready for the test. By the way, where will the testing take place?
    Attendant: At our factory. You have will need to pay one thousand five hundred naira for the test. The
    deadline is today.
    Me: Ok, I have heard you. Give me my CV.

    I collected my CV and left feeling very stupid to have spent transport fare just to listen to cock and bull tale. I then proceeded to call a friend who used to stay in the neighbourhood. Immediately I mentioned Bamgbose Street, he mentioned Seaway and told me to stay clear because they (Seaway) are a bunch of hopeless criminals.

    My annoyance in all this is that I saw the advert in The Guardian Newspaper (Tuesday 15th Guardian). That is by the way. Final word. House beware. I rest my case.

    @Spiritbeing sorry for your loss bro and thanks for the heads up.

    @All I'll encourage us to post openings like this to the house first for discussion before embarking on such an adventure, u neva can tell perhaps someone in the house has had an experience with them and would save you from such an ordeal.
