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!!!

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.
