ENGR. KINGSLEY OR EDWARD CLARCK OR WAT EVER YOUR NAME IS, WEN U READ THIS POST YOUR ARE ALSO FREE TO COMMENT...............COS ABA BOYS NO THEY CARRY LAST

IT STARTED LAST WEEK I RECEIVED A TEST ON MA PHONE FROM 07033674312
"PLEASE SEND YOUR CV TO MY EMAIL BOX IMEDIATELY THERE IS AN URGENT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU IN MA COMPANY CHEVRON" I CALLED THE NUMBER ENQUIRING WHO SENT THE MESAGE, I CHECK THE MESSAGE THEIR IS NO EMAIL ON IT, ONE SCAMMER PICKED THE CALL:

SCAMMER: FRANK HOW ARE YOU

ME: IS NOT FRANK IS NWABA

SCAMMER: SORRY THE MESSAGE IS FOR FRANK IS NOT FOR YOU, I MET FRANK THE LAST TIME I VISITED PH AND HE SAID HE'S LOOKING FOR JOB AND RIGHT NOW THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE VACANCY IN MY COMPANY CHEVRON SO I DECIDED TO CONTACT HIM. IS,I BEGIN TO WONDER WHY WILL IT BE ME, DOES IT MEAN THIS GUY HAS NO FRIENDS, BROTHERS, RELATIONS OR EVEN ENEMIES THAT IRRESPECTIVE OF MY QUALIFICATION I SHOULD SEND MY CV, 'ABI NA THE DEVINE CONNECTION OR GOD DON REMEMBER ME TODAY' AND FROM THERE I STARTED SUSPECTING ONR THING ONE THING.

ME: OK

SCAMMER: DO YOU HAVE A JOB NOW?

ME: NO

SCAMMER: THEN IS YOUR LUCK SINCE I CANT GET FRANK, SEND ME YOUR CV IMMEDIATELY

ME: THEIR IS NO EMAIL ON THE TEST.

SCAMMER: I WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER ONE IMMEDIATELY

ME: IM WAITING

THE MESSAGE ENTERED IMMEDIATELY IT READS
"MY NAME IS ENGINEER KINGSLEY WORKING WITH CHEVRON , LAGOS. SEND YOUR CV, PASSPORT IMEDIATELY AND CALL ME:
[email protected] AND [email protected]"

I SAID GOOD, I WILL SEND MY ORIGINAL EMAIL TO THE ONE THAT BEARS CHEVRON ADDRESS IF IT GOES THAT MEANS IS FOR REAL OTHERWISE IS A SCAM, I SENT IT AND IT BOUNCED BACK, FROM THERE I CONFIRMED ITS A SCAM, SO I CHANGEG MY CONTACT DETAILS AND SEND THE MAIL WITH ONE OF MY ABANDONED NUMBER ON THE CV. SO NOW I PASTED THE SECOND YAHOO ID ON FACEBOOK AND SEACH I SAW A GUY WITH NAME EDWARD CLARCK, SCHOOLED IN UNIBEN, EMPLOYER: CHEVRON AND POSTION: COMPLETION ENGINEER.

I NOW CALLED HIM WITH A PAY PHONE PRETENDING TO BE ONE OF HIS FEMALE FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK BUT HE PRETENDED IS A WRONG NUMBER NUMBER, I SAID GOOD.

LATER THAT EVENING HE SENT ME A MESSAGE THAT READS "I HAVE OFFICIALLY GIVEN YOUR CV 2 THE HR MANAGER. HOPE U WILL B OK WITH D SALARY. INITIAL SALARY OF CHEVRON EMPLOYEE N210,000/MONTH PLUS ODA ALLOWANCES. CALL ME BY 7.00PM"

LATER IN THE NIGHT I GOT ANOTHER MESSAGE THIS AROUND CUSTOMIZED WITH CHEVRON IN THAT MY ABANDONED LINE.
IT READS

"THIS IS TO ACKNOLEDGE RECEIPT OF YOUR APPLICATION. WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU SOON, IF YOU ARE SHORTLISTED FOR INTERVIEW. THAKYOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN CHEVRON"

THE REASON WHY I FOLLOWED UP THIS ISSUE TO A LOGICAL CONCLUTION IS SO I WILL HAVE A STORY TO TELL THE UNSUSPECTING HOUSE MEMBERS. I CALLED HIM THAT EVENING HE SAID THE MAN SAID HE SHOULD SEE HIM TOMOROW BY 9:00AM, THEY WILL BE SHORTLISTING ON THURSDAY LAST WEEK AND INTERVIEW WILL BE ON WEDNESSDAY.

9:00AM NEXT DAY I CALLED HIM, HE SAID EVERY THING IS IN ORDER, THAT HE SPOKE WITH THE HR MANAGER INFACT HE'S JUST COMING FROM HIS OFFICE NOW, HE SAID FOR HIM TO SHORTLIST MY NAME I HAVE TO GIVE HIM SOME MONEY THAT IS BETTER I COME TO LAGOS IMMEDIATELY, I TOLD HIM MY INLAW JUST ENTERED LAGOS AND I WILL BE MEETING HIM IN LAGOS NEXT I PLANNED TO BOOK MY FLIGHT ON ON MONDAY COS I WILL NOT LIKE TO MISS MY SUNDAY SERVICE, THAT NOW HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT (I MADE MY SELF TO BE LIKE A BIG CATCH FOR HIM)

SCAMMER: HE SAID YOU WILL PAY HIM N25,000, AND NOT EVEN INTO MY ACCOUNT BUT TO THE HR SECRETARIES ACCOUNT B4 HE WILL SHORTLIST YOUR NAME.

ME: PLS HELP ME ALL I HAVE IN MA ACCOUNT IS N21,000 AND I HAVE TO PAY N16,000 TO LAGOS SO I WILL NOT HAVE MUCH AGAIN, JUST HOLD ON WEN I GET TO LAGOS, HE SAID NO THAT THEY ARE ROUNDING UP WITH THE SHORTLISTING THE NEXT DAY, I SAID OKAY LET ME SEE WAT I CAN DO THE NEXT DAY.

NEXT DAY:
I TOLD HIM I HAVE N12,000 TO PAY IN NOW THAT NEXT WEEK I WILL PAY IN N13,000 WHEN I GET TO LAGOS, HE SAID OK AND HE SENT ANOTHER TEST THAT READS;

AC NO: 02650520161387
NAME: OKORONKWO CHIOMA BASSEY
BANK UBA

I LAUGHED AS I TRY TO ANALYSE THE NAME, OKORONKWO IN IGBO IS A SURNAME COS IS AN OLD NAME NO ONE WILL CALL HIS MORDEN CHILD SUCH NAME, CHIOMA IS A FEMALE NAME THOUGH MALE BEARS IT TOO, AND BASSEY IS A PORPULAR AKWA IBOM NAME, CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THE BEARER OF THE ACCOUNT IS FROM IBO OR HALF IBO AND HALF AKWA IBO OR ? I CANT INTERPRET THE NAME, WELL ISAID OKAY I WILL GO TO THE BANK NOW

LATER I TOLD HIM IM IN THE BANK (THOUGH I WAS'NT IN THE BANK) I TOLD HIM THEY CUSTOMER CARE SAID THE ACCT NUMBER IS NOT CORRESPONDING WITH THE NAME THAT HE SHOULD SEND ANOTHER ONE OR SEND THE CORRECT ONE, I PRETENDED AS IF THE BANK SECURITY COLLECTED MY PHONE AND ASKED HIM TO CALL MY OTHER LINE WHERE IT WILL COST HIM MORE.
BELIEVE ME THAT DUDE HAS BEEN CALLING ME I TOLD HIM BANK HAS CLOSED THAT I WILL PAY IT ON MONDAY, HE EVEN CALLED DURING THE WEEKEND AND HOPING THAT I WILL PAY IN THE MONEY ON MONDAY OR BETTER STILL CARRY IT TO LAGOS DURING THE INTERVIEW. LOL

Training commences: 1st of april, 2006


He sent the mail to whoever and BCCed as many pple as possible and I guess I am one of them. though I never replied to any of the mails as I never heared of any Nigerian-German oil company and couldn't imagine why such a company will only have addresses in 9ja and London in the website link that accompanied the first mail without an address in Germany or any in the oil countries of the world like Texas. Even the UK addy should have been Aberdeen to look convincing...hahahaha. Also the account of a corporate company being in a person's name.....and the name on the account different from the name on the mail (guess the Schneider was supposed to make u believe it is really a German company). To think of it which company recruits you without at leat an oral interview and this company cannot even afford to have mails at their own personal website instead of a yahoo.co.uk one???

What got me laughing and rolling on the floor was the fact that the training was to commence on April 1st (It would have been the best April fool ever witnessed by anyone who fell victim to this).....LOL.

Though I copuldn't share this then, NwaAba's message has got me thinking it is necessary. Please i know we all need jobs and can do anything to have one but do look well before u leap. The good Lord who saw me through will make a way for everyone......Amen.

Thought: Plz take note of that email addy, that is if it is still in existence: [email protected]

God Bless!!!
Chioma

I hope a lesson would b learnt by dis story bc many mbers here hav fallen victim due to dia "do or die''quest 4 a job. Thnx 4 d 'SUPER STORY'

Dose scammers nor knw say we don wise. 1 call me dey tell me say na my friend during youth service, say him dey work with Mobil oil in Eket. He tell me say his name na lucky, and me nor get any lucky as a friend during my youth service.

Fellow house members please, be careful because dose guys will not rest until they meet up with their targets.

THUMBS UP NWA ABA.......U REALLY WASTED HIS TIME AND PUT HIM IN AN EAGER MODE. THAT'S WHAT HURTS SCAMMERS MOST

THE FUCKED UP DUDE CALLED ME YESTERDAY MONDAY, ASKING ME IF I HAVE PAID IN THE MONEY OR I DONT WANT TO COME FOR THE INTERVIEW AGAIN, I TOLD HIM THE FIRST UBA BANK I WENT TO SAID THE ACCOUNT NUMBER IS INCORRECT WHILE THE SECOND BANK SAID I THEY CANT MAKE ANY TRANSACTION WITH ACCOUNT THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE ACCOUNT HOLDER, I GUESS HE SENT HE'S SCAMMING ADDRESS ALL I WANT IS HIS ORIGINAL ACCOUNT DETAILS SO I CAN TRACK HIM WITH IT BUT HE WAS TELLING ME I SHUD USE MY CREDIT AND TEXT BAK THE ACCOUNT NUMBER I HAVE LET HIM CROSSCHECK.

I NOW STARTED LAUGHING AT HIM AND ASKING HIM WHY HE ENGAGED IN SOMETHING LIKE WITH A JOB SEEKER, THE MUGU SAID IM STUPID SINCE I KNOW I DONT WANT WHY DID I ALLOW HIM WASTE HIS CREDIT " WEDA PEOPLE WHEN THEY PAY I BETTER PASS THEM"

I COURSE THIS GUY TIRE, I GUESS IS OVER NOW.
EVERY BODY IN THIS GREAT FORUM OPEN YOUR EYES OOOOH PEOPLE ARE PAYING

NwaAba, you be correct guy. Thanks for the info.

Nwaba, all honest housemembers appreciate you for this post. I will take if further to ensure that the fraudulent account is closed as well as that mentioned by Chioma. Fools like that should not be allowed to infiltrate the financial system. Those accounts were obviously opened for fraud.

Nice post NwaAba. That goes a long way to tell job seekers that there is no short cuts to a good job. Most people get involved out of search for a quickie. I seriously laud ur honesty and info.
Someone did sumfin similar when i was servin, that he was goin to post me to PPMC (NNPC). i even met him physically. 2 things turned me off:
1. He was looking hungry, and was still a corper
2. he asked that i pay him my first salary after i get the job
I told him off. and as God would have it I got the best posting in the whole state.
Job seekers be vigilant, be watchful, the scammer roareth like a lion seeking whom he may devour!
