    Young lady no go dat place oh! Na scam. Those people are thieves. U should have ask them 2start u up in the job, then you wil give them the 1500 & 30% at month end. They have nothin 2offer dats why they demanded the 1st amt of 1500. Good recruitment firm dont demand 4money b4 giving u job. This is bcos they re being paid by the firms dat needs employees. so dont give scammers ur money. Happy val 2u & all naija family.

    It's not necessary true that every company that demand money upfront is a scam. And you may just be missing an opportunity to get yourself a good job. I think what you should do is do more research on this company and find out for yourself. I also understand that we all might be very conscious of the fact that they are asking to be paid upfront...due to the image we have invented for ourselves- meaning Nigerians... reputable companies in North America do this all the time and i can give you very good examples. City group, primerca and other numerous fortune five hundred companies.... ask up to $700.00 upfront on many occasions. Many headhunting companies do that as well. so, the fact that a Nigeria film is asking does not equate to an automatic scam alert. Just saying that most companies these days are also skeptical of spending enormous amount of money to run an ad campaign only to realize that they got scumbags that is not worth their interview time.
    I say look very well at the companies reputation and history and see if you can talk to some of the old employees first ...asking these types of questions in a forum will not help your case. That is my 2 cents. I wish you luck!!!
