    A guy also cald me dat he is my corper mate where i served, he got a job wt Agip and that they are available jobs there, i shuld cal him. I cald a frnd of mine wt Agip and he said nothing of such. I ignored d scammer, few daz later, another cald me abt shell.
    What superises me is how dey knw my name and where i served, and i dnt seems to knw dem.
    Pls just ignore dem, they are scammer dat dont even knw how to scam.

    what do you mean by "what do you guys suggest please" do u need a sooth-sayer to tell you they are scammers.
    Maybe the guy picked d phone album and u happend to be the one his eyes went to, ur name and number is there already, so is easy for him. Except u knw d guy very well, den u can try him, bt if u dnt, u better run, before the little money u saved is spent on him.

    The problem realy, stems from the reckless way and manner with which people divulge sensitive and personal information online. You see folks in NHJ giving out their e-mail IDs and phone numbers in posts, in the process, falling prey to con artists. With the careless attitude people give up personal data online, we're very lucky that internet fraud (apart from yahoo-yahoo) is still low in Nigeria; for if the economy were one deepened in online banking and e-commerce, people will know the consequence and how to guard their personal data. Please, dont share your personal information with people you dont know or trust. Protect yourself from fraud and identity theft. A word is enough...

    Re: Agip oil recruitment: Real of scam?

    Well said guys, i wonder why people would want to scam applicants or even anybody without any fear of God at all. when i got that text, i read it over and over trying to remember whether i have ever met anyone with the said name, but not at all.the question that came to me immediately was why the sudden contact after almost two years of my discharge from nysc, He didn't call to know how i was doing only to call out of the blue referring to himself as 'MR'.i wonder why am even withholding the name. the name of the scammer is MR MAXWELL LINUS with mobile no:07030295457..he ought to be ashamed of himself, i wish we had a bio database of everybody in this country then he would really know how fast the cookie crumbles!!!
