This sounds reasonable. I think you should get back to them and get clarification and further advice on on how to acquire the certification required. God's grace.

HI OLUFEMI. I ALSO GOT THIS OFFER FROM AVA OIL AND GAS CORP. I HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO LINK THE IGVT WEBSITE. WHAT I HAVE KEPT GETTING IS THAT THE SITE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. I STILL WANT TO BELIEVE THIS IS GENUINE. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU GOT TO THE SITE TO REALISE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A TEST CENTRE IN NIGERIA. ANY TEST CENTRE IN AFRICA NEAR NIGERIA? YOU CAN LINK ME ON 07040645235 OR [email protected]. PERHAPS WE CAN RUB MINDS AND DEVISE A WAY FORWARD ON THIS. REGARDS.

well as geniue as it looks be careful on how u handle ur original documents, As an international coy I aspect dey shd be able to mk their requirements accessible, y shd dey b offering u employment when dey hv nt seen ur IGVA score.

We hv expect scammers now. As much as u can take the risk o follow it to a logical conclusion , pls do not spend more than u can write off.

its a scam people.
gospel truth.

BIG SCAM!!!!!

I got same but.....on getting to that IGVA site, you would be asked to pay $200 for the test. Now, I have tried calliing all the numbers of all the sites and none went through. There was one I tried that call a website for me. Visiting the site is was a site that gives USA phone numbers to pple online. I also did a little research on the top 500 global oil and gas corporation and Avaoil did not come up. I also googled it and the site was the only site that made sense. The rest are not related to Avaoil and gas. I have asked pple to in the USA to do a little research for me and nutin came up on the company. I am confirmed that they are scammers. You just google it and you would be shocked at what you would see...

Total scam, ignore it cos it's not real. It seems those fake offers may be coming from either globaldrill or overseas resources ltd.


BIG SCAMMMMMMM.

@anagin, @olumide adeyemi & @loto, the info seem real but if you search via google u will see that it is nothing but scam. The fact that u saw the offer on this site doesn't make it real. many wholves have sneak in into the house by register and posting info. their aim is to play on we sheeps & real jobseekers in the house. let us be vigilant as we keep on searching for job. God will help us all. 1 luv

Yes, I got such employment letter. It looked so real and easy to come by. so i decided to do my own investigation as follows:.
1. searched for the company with google
2. I went to the website avaoil.com
3. copied the phone numbers and dialed for one week but no response and also some email addresses which I sent a maill asking them to help me confirm the genuiness of the attached employment letter but nor reply for 3 weeks now.

The truth is that if any one dear do the international graduate test for $200, they stand to get a percentage as commission. so they are after commission from applicants they give employment letter. And I think they may finally ask you to pay some money for the training.

So if they can afford the ticket expenses, visa etc for their potential victims,why cant they aford to pay the $200 for the applicants they are offering employment.
Guys, pls refuse to fall victim. They may even be our fellow nigeirans. Avaoil does not exist. they only created a esbsite for it to perfect thier scam.

love you all

Solomon Yakubu

hello friends,am really shocked to hear that this avaoil employment letter thing is a scam because i really wanted to give it a shot but still experiencing same problem of registration and others if this whole thing is a scamm then i must confess that there is nothing that is true again about the net.how can a scam not been a able to be detected by google,please if there is anyone that has a detailed infor about these could please call me on 08038508564 or mail me on [email protected]

The offer sounds reasonable. I contacted them with my UK certificate because I graduated in bradford and Login information for the training has been mailed to me. I think I'm still on the right track as I have seen direct contact lines for the training department when I logged into my training account.

I wish everyone of us the best by Gods grace.

I will keep you posted as it goes. The training is scheduled to start on the 2nd of November.

Best of Luck.

My dear,is a scam.
The world is confusing themselves.
Well,i made my reseach from http://www.hyipexplorer.com/tools/analysis.php.
Go there and place the so called coy name to test thenthe site will tell u the level of risk involvement dealing with them.
But that does not mean is d altimate test.
Thanks

@ Walexboth, av u been asked to pay any money yet?

@zinwa, They have not asked for money. I have login details for the training now and I expect to start the training on 2nd of November by God's Grace.

First I think they got our emails from .. it started by ... “you have been invited to apply for careers at avaoil” I actually thought it was a Nigerian based company recruiting
Weeks later I am offered employment asking me to resume on 12th of October as an Assistant System Analyst at Halifax Branch of their Office in Canada. I thought it over and this got me curious.
I wanted to know their centres if any in Nigeria asides Kenya and South Africa where I could be tested before taking the assessment. Since you would be charged additional fee for rescheduling of the test or change of centers.

All this time I have been playing along but I asked peeps to do some digging for me, the assessment was supposed to be a prometric but its not listed on the prometric site as one of its exams, the company avaoil both its texas and Canadian address where they want me to work in were listed on google or live map.
I have done whois on the sites and I personally found out that the site was registered in web2africa.net, the site www.avaoil.com was one year old last month, the date of hosting and update is exactly the same with the assessment site www.igva.org this is not common. From an observant designer you would detect that both the avaoil site and the igva site has similarities and were both designed with flash. My best guess is they own the assessment site and they want to scam Nigerians.
Contact lines never go through, emails are not reported accordingly like they stuck to some batch format. They made me pay for a passport so urgently the offer looks reasonable yes.. but has anyone in Nigeria written the test and gone as far as taking the training? I need to know.. cos I used to be a cyber guy lets find out where these peeps want to get paid.. and how they think they can con mua,
Walex if u brag too much I go suspect you too..

HI EVERYBODY, CONCERNING THE CHEAP EMPLOYMENT OFFER FROM THE PURPORTED OIL AND GAS COMPANY, "AVA OIL AND GAS CORPORATION", I THINK GUYS, YOU NEED TO BE WARY. I WENT TO THE UNITED STATES INFORMATION SERVICE (USIS)OFFICE ON BROAD STREET AND ALSO CALLED THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT OF THE US CONSULATE IN NIGERIA FOR VERIFICATION. ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY DON'T RENDER THE SERVICE OF CALLING TO VERIFY BUT ONLY ADVISE LOGICALLY BASED ON AVAILABLE INFORMATION, BUT THEY STATED IT CATEGORICALLY THAT ANY GENUINE INTERNATIONAL JOB OFFER WILL NOT ENTAIL JOB SEEKERS PAYING FOR APTITUDE TEST. I ALSO SPOKE WITH SOME FRIENDS OUT THERE, BUT WE COULD NOT ESTABLISH ANY PHYSICAL CONFIRMATION OF THE COMPANY'S EXISTENCE.

AT THIS JUNCTURE, EACH PERSON MAY WEIGH THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF PAYING FOR THE ASSESSMENT TEST (WHICH YOU ARE NOT EVEN SURE OF TAKING ANYWAY) IN RELATION WITH THEIR PRESENT ECONOMIC SITUATION AND DETERMINE IF IT IS WORTH TAKING THE RISK. HOWEVER, MY CANDID ADVICE TO EVERYONE AFFECTED HERE IS DON'T ALLOW DESPERATION TO GET YOU FOOLED. BEST OF LUCK!!!

My dear ignore them , Its a scam

Young man, a friend of mine equally got job offer from the same company,AVAOIL AND GAS,and is equally talking about the same test you are talking about.

Well, I also got the same offer and sent my interest in accepting the offer as given by this company. I have visited the sites many times at Ibadan but trying to log on the site in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos state is not possible as at this present time. Anyway, I sent my interest and was expecting a feedback normally but did not get it until two days after sending my acceptance letter to them.
The following is the report getting from their HR:
Dear Employee,

New employee training has been scheduled to start on the 2nd of November 2009. All new employees are required to have submitted an appropriate independent graduate assessment as stated in your Letter of employment offer on this date, if your qualifications are obtained from countries outside of the US, Canada, UK and Australia.

Training enrollment will be completed on your behalf by the training department upon reciept of the assessment report and your login details will be mailed to you.

All the best in your career.

Sincerely,

Ms. Kimberly Sanders

Please, let someone do a genuine verification on this as I don't want to be duped even though the offer looks juicy. Thanks.
