Hello All,

I recently submitted some resumes for an opening in a bank. I was asked for referrals by one of the recruiters, so i source for candidates from LinkedIn and other sources. The recruiter later shared with me his experience with one of the candidate, below is how the conversation went:

Caller (recruiter) : Hello, good day , I am calling from xyz bank, im I onto Mr X?

Mr X (candidate): You want to ask for my BVN abi?, SCAMMERS

Caller (recruiter): We are actually calling for a chat after reviewing your cv

Mr X (candidate): Oh, i actually thought is all this scammers

Caller (recruiter)): ended the call

I hope you can pick some lesson(s) from the conversation, though there are scammers out there, but we should still be careful.

Thanks

i dedicate this spot to all g-spots

Sincerely, I wonder why many Nigerians are quick to label situations scam. This unfortunately isn't a learning point for many as we think we are smarter than we actually are.

Wish you success in the near future.

Na wa oo
This life seff!!

Not everything is u must label scam..
chai great opportunity missed..

Smh

Why Nigerians should stop jumping to conclusions. Not everyone wants to scam you.

You're right

Sometimes people are always in a haste to conclude without proper investigation or hearing

And that's one problem many Nigerians have

They'll never read or listen till the end of a story before passing their judgements

Advice for job seekers? There is nothing to learn here my dear. The recruiter is just an A hole!

I run a business, and I can't turn down a potential employee just because he was security conscious.

Please dear Job Seekers, if the job isn't coming, consider Starting A Business here in Nigeria.

There are lots of Lucrative Business Ideas you can start, even with low capital. Give yourself time, and you'll never regret it.

Those hiring are now more demanding and the competition out there now post Covid-19 is way harder that you can ever imagine.

Whatever job you may be hurting for please have your side hustle rolling...

Without my side hustle I wonder what would become of me post COVID-19

Doing your own thing gives you peace of mind and freedom to do much more that you can ever imagine...

Good luck to all hustlers

Lol. Quite funny. That doesn't mean scammers don't use the same format. Shine your eyes bro. Your CV might have been picked from the suya spot

K.

Well whatever

What will be will be
Beware of scammers

It was a scammer. You busted his scam that was why he dropped the call. He just told you that CV job line to make you feel bad - It's called reverse psychology.
A real recruiter won't take offence especially one from a bank knowing the infestation of scammers in the financial sector today.

E get as e be

Nothing goes for nothing. What are you ready to part with?

KZY

Hasty conclusion there

You sound as if you want us to relax so you call us.

nonsense.

I dont know why this is on frontpage.

You wont blame the guy when he is over careful espcially with various scam scheme everywhere

Mad oooo

The recruiter should have understood the current age we lived in. Scammers adopt the same strategy. Since the person in question already drew back from the second paragraph, I think the recruiter should have clarified further and proceed with the interview if truly they're giving out the job or they could have adopted other channels such as mail or SMS.

Fake news

Candidate ain't in the wrong na.

That scamming mode dy rampant.

That's applicable to most Nigerian. They're quick to point accusing finger.
Someone call you, no matter what, LISTEN FIRST.

Typical me, Even when those bombers (According to slawormir) calls, despite knowing already that they're scammer, all I says is LOOK FOR ANOTHER CUSTOMER.

Kofa'ja

Mr I disagree with you..from the convo, the caller wasnt even professional

Hello, good day , I am calling from xyz bank, im I onto Mr X?

Is that not the call format for scammers asking for bvn?
