I got a mail last week wednesday that i should forward my Cv to them, that they saw my online application and have decided to process it, i did immediately and only yesterday i  recieved the above email, av done what is required of me, but am still doubting the authenticity of the mail.
i want help frm u guys. what do u think?

Hmmmmm
i really don't think it is for real
it just has a shady ring to it.

Anyway what ever you do, just be careful
there are a lot of scammers around.


Cheers

There is something suspicious about both your experience with them and the online test question and for sure the whole thing does'nt look professional.
But i will ask you these questions:

1. Do you remember applying with Shell at any time at the first place?
2. Have you found anyone that share at least a part of the similar experience?

Though there are numerous fraud strategies like this, just play safe untill they start asking for money, just to be on the safe side.
Cheers.

It is definitely fraudulent - I have personally gone through Shell's online recruitment process and know of friends who did the written test route as well.

The website they claim to be from is fake, Shell NEVER sends questions to your email requiring answers, they don't ask such technical questions except at an interview.

It is definitely fraud. 'the most intelligent answers IS required from you' ?? how can Shell make such an obvious grammatical error in a recruitment email? That is another large red flag.

Shell never contacts random people because they 'saw' your CV - they get thousands of CV's a day, so what has suddenly made you so special that they are chasing you?

check on nairaland for a thread called 'Shell Next Generation' or something like that - those are people who recently went through Shell's recruitment process, they can also confirm what I have said.

Which company will give you a job based on two questions as your 'only assessment'? Don't fall for it man, the money requests to process your visa to come join them in Holland or Uk will be the next move.

Georgee,

that mail is a scam so beware. it is fake.
