How I Was Almost Scammed In A Job Interview. by Treash(m): 4:07pm On Jul 21, 2016
I was in a bid to secure a better job anywhere in Lagos when I ran across a posted bill around Toyin Street, Ikeja. It requested for applicant who could work in a manufacturing company with daily payment of #3,500 after work. Though I was observing it might not be real but I gave a trial. When I called the number on d paper, a lady picked it and she directed me to come for an interview by 7:30am today. She never requested my C.V. In the course of deliberation whether or not I should attend, I called her around 8am the next day if I could still make the interview and she answered in affirmation.

When I got to the venue, the scene I was observed was confusing, as it looks like young people were on the pitch, no company building,no sign post. While some people were lecturing others one on one, some were to train people to sing and do exercise (Like NYSC Orientation Camp). When a young lady at the entrance asked of my mission, I told her I was there on an interview of #3,500 daily pay job. Another woman was assigned to sit me down and start lecturing me on the object of the company. I was a bit confused. I wasn't too comfortable with the atmosphere when the lecture started. It was two hours after the interpersonal lecture started that the company was all about promoting health Products and winning new members into GNLD and i had to pay #10,600 to be a member. No daily pay. No manufacturing company. My time wasted. Transport fare wasted. I just pretended like all was well. As I left in regret, I was held by a lady to fill the membership form. I filled it with a fake name, different phone contact and left.

bruh,,this GLND stuff is now bcoming unbecoming....
there was an ivite too i got yesterday for a position...i knew immediately after reading the message that it wasnt real...but i wanted to satify my curiosity and went there in the evening after i was sure the interview must have bin over...getting there,,what i saw was quiet pleasing to me because i blv i was smart not to have fallen for such....I saw people coming out of the supposed building that looks like a complex, they look perplexed and dejected like they bin defrauded some of them were even singing christain songs like they were thanking God he saved them...

with the little experience i had and things have read online, i knew immediately this people didnt get the interview they hoped for but a suicide meeting...

But my question is this,, how do we get to know the true and real sms interview when we get one,,,,because i keep praying i dont lose the real job when it comes by....

Na wao. My nephew suffered the same fate. He traveled all the way from Lagos to PH and even slept in a hotel. He visited the venue of the supposed interview the following day only to discover it's about GNLD. He didn't find it funny. What they normally do these days is to advertise for 3k per day then they write under the notice "Not GLND" please note the difference between GNLD and GLND. These people don't zoom to ever run out of ideas.
I had in a number of occasion come across their supposed marketers literally begging for either alms or asking for a lift saying that they got stranded where they went for sales but couldn't make any sales hence their predicament.

Mehn... atleast 1 out of every 3 people in Nigeria has a GNLD scam story to tell. The logic is simple, of you are bold and convinced of what you do, u will never go about making misleading posters about it.

Assistant manager 60 000
Industry worker. 55 000
Fresh graduate 50 000
Free accommodation inclusive.

Like WTF, I go resume work on day 1 as a manager grin grin

I was also a victim of this people last month saw the advert on OLX. I borrowed money to travel from Ogun state to Lagos thinking of getting #3,500 per day Job. On getting to ikeja glass house the guy asked me to come to egbeda side there's a transformer and a bank guess diamond bank opposite the venue. On getting there saw a lot of people and a big white canopy, I was assigned to a person who is far lesser than my qualification. After staying like 20minutes to know is not ritualist, I stood up and a lady blocked me that I can't go until they finish the briefing. I felt like slapping the lady but I told them I want to get something to eat that's how I escaped.
For God sake they should stop deceiving innocent people with their job advert including MG resources they are first class bastards.
