I got thesame message some weeks back asking me to resume on the 4th of september this year. If it was true, the british embassy, total oil and gas (which its a subsidiary of and whose site i'm dead sure they got our cv's from after hacking into) should atleast have an idea of it. No company will ask you to pay for any processing fee because its a general rule of life and business, if you need me, come and get me. They pay for everything and even send it to you then maybe you may start paying pack in bits while working with them. Then finally, i'm am HND holder i dont know what your are, but considering the recession why not convert £8,500 to naira? Its over =N= 2Million! Na PH.D i get ni?

It's a scam. The fact that it requires procession of a visa doesn't mean you have to pay to them. Thus, It's fraudulent for one to pay to the organization. Going through the mail also, a company such as Total won't be so naive to be erotic in their use of words and spelling. Below is same mail sent to someone else, "check out page three of the document with red font". BE WISE MY DEAR!!!

The writer of this scam cannot even convince himself that this thing is not a scam.All sorts of typos, grammatical errors etc.I think this are the kind of people that should be reported to Scotland yard and arrested.Giving Us a bad name abroad.

Thanks for your responses. I have read of these complaints at, http://www.complaintsboard.com/ from various applicants one of whom had complained to Total through email and expectedly Total responded that neither the company nor its subsidiaries will ask for money under any condition before employment. if you are not satisfied you can contact Total. these guys got our CVs from the advert placed by kris updated today. its a big scam.

This is scam, i suspected it from the first day some one pasted this post...because total jobs email is [email protected] and not the other one....i got the same mail but i deleted the mail

Why ask whether it is a scam, once your see one you don't need to be told. BEWARE.

Even without being a graduate u will no dat dis is a scam. where did u do the interview n which total will use colegas.com. total is the same world wide with the web address. moreover no Uk firm will employ u frm Nigeria with the current global meltdown. guys this boyz dey Naija here. why cant they leave this forum a lone. we smarter than wat they think we are.
