I wonder which Telecoms firm this is. I am quite apprehensive about the mode of aplication. answers anyone?

I had no doubts about the authenticity of this especially as it was a half page advert in the 'Guardian' but i got mad when the freaks collected N100 from my phone for the text.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

Since this so-called Telecoms company will be getting only my name, my age, my course of study and my location (I'm deliberately leaving out the illegal N100), then what on earth will their selection criteria be? If they had added something like "The more the number of applications U make, the more Ur chances of getting the job",I wouldn't have asked this question.

Its clear dat this must be a real scam. As we all know, the easiest way to identify a scam is when they ask applicants to pay money. These guys are smart scammers cos they didnt mention the N100 fee in their advert. It's too bad cos i'm already a victim.
I blame MTN

i was surprised also when 100naira was deducted...i advice newspaper companies to be carrying out investigation on authenticity of adverts b4 putting on papers

It's just saddening :'( that there are now all sorts of scams/scammers out there exploiting the unfortunate unemployment situation of Nigerian youths. One has to really examine closely any vacancy or call for application one hears about nowadays. God help us all! :(
