I'm a cadet from Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Why did u use the word "AHOY" in this case, Ahoy is kind of word use by captains onboard ship as an alternative way of calling a Naval Officer or anybody onboard a ship |

BEWARE OF 2S & T THE MASTER FRAUDSTERS i had an ungly experience wit my former emploters,they are a major 419 company masquerading as a clthing company,they are not just slave masters but majors wen it comes to decieving young unsuspecting graduates. The terms and condition of the employment was dat we were to undergo a one month training as sales facilitators,after which we would be accessed based on our commitment and seriousness towards the job. The training period was to last for one month ie the whole of august,we (22 of us,both mostly young graduate wit no experience) were to be paid N35,000 for the training period,on complition of the training period,if u were successful,u were entitled to a basic salary of N96,000 plus allowances making total month's salary to N110,000. The job sounded so good to be true,we were not given any target,we encouraged to give ourselfs target,we were given a VpN phone,business cards and allowances to move about and recharge our phones for telemarketing.On the first day on the job we were pushed into the field to start the job,that was wen we realised that were being taken for a ride,i had to resign at the end of the month(that was after about 90% of the staff had resigned or were fired),it took me one month wit the help of a legal letter tthreatening to take them to court before my money was paid,they even removed about N9,500 from the money.Be careful Y'all, dont be decieved by huge allowances and attractive paycheck |

why are you guyz crowding ken ![]() damn it!! ![]() my only fault in "ken" is for him trying to explain to much to you guyz. does he even know you guyz, have you met, has he stolen scammed you off your cheezze? NADA, i don't think so! rather i think your all just jealous or somtin'. that you couldn't come up with a more creative idea. he came up with his own which unfortunately is illegal but it is not brutal or harmful to people @ least physically that is (maybe emotionally). if you want to make a difference, post somtin' intellectual and lets make results in magnitudes outta bright ideas, after all, scammers are usually as a result of bright and convincing ideas which they made practical. And don't you come around talking about people blaming the current economy. there is a reason for every accusation, our economy is bad, and there is little or no job opportunities in the the labour market and I'm not just saying this "I'm living it" ![]() |

[color=#770077]let me give you guyz a lil' info. gettin jobs these dayz in Nigeria (not just in Abuja) is in most cases not by what you have but by "who you know". even though one might get an appointment into an organization by his kwali (result) this in most cases was influenced by his connections. i have seen graduates come into my company to submit their CV's with certified degrees (including 2:1's) but never got called back for interviews or even atleast a god damn test. and guess what the people that got taken in where all relatives or friends of relatives to the CEO or MD. now what do you call that, i my self only got employed (though temporarily) through the influence of an executive member. Now in the case of i was a mere person who just walked in to their front door requesting a position, yeah , yeah, you got it right i would be kicked out one handed without remorse. now for them yahoozee peeps out there, i have no grudges against y'all, it's y'all way of hustle. but try and keep it discrete coz truly y'all tarnishing nija's gud name. yes you got me right i said GOOD! believe it or not nija is gud and i'm proud to be a NIGERIAN. what da hell do you think is the reason for all these Lebanese and onyimbo's comin to invest in nija. which reminds me Bleep these Lebanese, now they are the real thieves; steallin off our own front yards and we let em'. now how generous can one get than that, and you guys come off saying Nigeria is bad. we have a great economy worth exploiting but instead of we allow international parasites rather than allow indigenous symbiotic individuals take part, and when we decide to take part in foreign activities they say we crooks. like that OPRAH woman. we should be sayin Bleep her for insulting our country like that. With that screwed up head of her, i don't think her minds ever been right ever since she got illegally screwed (raped). nah!! ![]() now who wants to say it ain't all about the money, huh? now America is the worlds biggest e-scammers in the world while Nigeria is only the biggest in the whole of Africa making just a fraction to the total e-crime scale of the entire universe. but why the fuzz about Nigeria all of a sudden, OW i forgot "because we're black". now if Nigeria throws an a-tom bomb @ another country (remember Hiroshima) would we easily forgiven or would they blast us off the face of the earth. ding ![]() we're not Yankee dudes, Neda are we whites. if America was a black African country and we threw an a-tom bomb @ Europe? do you think the war would be over by now? judgement question. lets just thank God for what is and what isn't and keep on praying that all the negativity about Nigeria Will all just be yesterdays dream. God bless NIJA PEOPLE (PROUDLY GRIN WYT GRIN)

Oh hey you guys take it easy on kencares, he has been through a lot or at least his family has, You guys should also realise that it takes a lot for someone to go through this life with all the ups and downs and come out straight, it takes maturity and discipline which i presume you are all aware that not everybody possesses, it takes a certain type of determination to change the world. some people don't have any constructive bones in their bodies, period! and it only takes the grace of God to change such people, if you want to change the world do it!but keep it in mind that you will encounter people like ken from now till eternity, Some common traits of ken like people are 1. Self pity - they blame everybody else but themselves for their misfortunes: the economy, their parents, their lecturers, the system, the government, e.t.c 2. Lack of responsibility: 2a. They almost always lack a conscience 3. Selfishness - they care only about themselves and solving their own problems forgetting about the millions of people who will be affected directly or indirectly by their actions. 3. Concerned more about today than tomorrow, willing to do anything it takes to sadist their thirst for wealth, power, e.t.c. 3b. Deconstructive behaviour: They pull down, bulldoze, scatter, destroy, cause sorrow, disharmony, e.t.c. 3c. They reap where they have not sown 4. Prefer to learn from their own experience 5. They will learn from their own experiences, hopefully early enough to repent and write a book or release some movie warning others to flee from this path. 6. They may live comfortably ever after but never happy ever after. My friends don't blame ken, its the kind of person he is, WELCOME to the world - The world wouldn't need changing if people like ken did not exist. In summary let's all be more careful in our job hunt so we don't fall prey to scammers, rather than analysing their delinquent behaviour lets be more scam conscious, All the best my fellow job seekers ![]() 1 Like |

What I can't place here is the correlation of the heading,'Look b/4 You Leap,Scammers Ahoy!' with these fraudulent letters of scam. Why the highlighted words in same sentence? I hope there are no nasty insinuations here. |
Re: Look Before You Leap! Scammers On The Prowl! by SwtNsoFLyy(f): 4:40pm On Oct 30, 2007 |
yes, that's definately a scam, because most corporations in the US would mail an appointment letter of employment directly to you through mail, and it will welcome u aboard, indicate the benefits (briefly) and let you know when u can come into the coroprate office for new employee orientation or training, fill out paperwork, IRS tax forms/ witholding statements and insurance packages. And it most certainly wouldnt be from US, and ask for money. Please avoid these scams at all costs. Remember, if in doubt, always, CHECK IT OUT. (that goes for relationships too) lol love & light, |
