Another Esther Breakthrough in embryo. The Guy wants to chop your money. If the guy want to help you,dnt give him deposit o. Let him give you the job and then pay him with agreement with a lawyer. Honestly, if the guy truly have a job,he wld rather give his younger brother or family member. This one na SCAM abeg 1 Like |

Bisjosh: My dear how much is he asking for? If its more than #2,000, please update that agreement that the payment(which is maybe a fraction of your first salary) will be made after u get the job. Putting u both on safe sides especially you and you can also get a witness so as to put his own mind too at rest. na wah for u ooo who will request for #2000 to get u a job? no, i'm jst asking? abi, me i for neva pay like 50 pple dat amount to get me a job? he said huge amount, make meaningful comments pls. |

@Poster, You have to be extremely careful in parting with money for people to secure a job for you. I was once a victim, though it came in such a way that it was hard to believe i fell for His tricks. My Uncle assisted this so called big man to do some electrical job in his new mansion,upon completion, the Man pleaded that he was short of Cash,and the job was worth about 25k, he then pleaded that he will return the gesture by giving any of his relative a job at NNPC, since he was based in Abuja, that was how my uncle requested that i forward my CV and credentials to him so that the "Big man" can assist me to get a job. A month after the man came back stating that he has submitted the CV and that I'll soon get my letter of Interview which will soon be dispatch through courier service, however, that he will be returning to abuja in a few days and needed to show appreciation to those staff who assisted him in the corporation. He then requested for 50k for the PR, which we beat that down to 30k, and i was pressured to cough out that much which i sent through my uncle. Truth is after colllecting that sum, the man started giving irrelevant excuses, that NNPC doesnt accept any grade less than a first class, so i told him to refund my money through same source, but nothing came out,His number went into voice mail, and that was how i lost 30k and my uncle got nothing for his labour. just sharing my experience, so be careful 1 Like |

Only in Naija! Nne, I had a similar story to yours. After chatting with a middle aged man in my neighbourhood and lamenting my jobless state, he promised to contact his Inlaw, who he claimed was the Chief Security Officer for Shell in Port Harcourt. My eyes lit up, when he called me that his inlaw was willing to help me secure a position with Shell and that I should come over to his house for details. This man told me that his in law requested I pay #90k to get the job. On the spot I agreed to pay but with a better offer. I told him I was ready to give them 90% of my monthly salary for the first year as long as they got me the job. To buttress my seriousness, I offered to give him the original copies of all my Credentials as Collateral, just in case I try to default in payment. To cut the story short, the man called me that his inlaw didn't agree, as he said he needed the money upfront as Mobilization money. I just Ignored him. 1 Like |

Hellooo, Don't mind some pessimist views being shown here o, If you can find out the man's precedents then you can deduce if he's in a good position to get you a job or not. If you are in a place like the Niger delta, then you'd know its a normal thing because some CLOs have got slots and they sell to anyone who's willing to play ball. 1 Like |

They is no problem with paying agent to help you secure a job but ur mode of payment matter. Write aggrement to pay him after getting you a job and if the amount he demanded is more than ur first salary, please give him some percentage from ur salary and pay between 4 to 6 months. If he accept, matter don end, if otherwise run far from him cos people can do anything when they are hungry. HUNGER O |

The money he is asking for is a little bit above 250k. I wish i could invest it on smth My dear, I have to be very honest with you, if its a federal govt job then its most likely not going to work, cos Fed Govt jobs are not that easy to come by and its mostly strong politicians that usually have influences to do that. I thought its was a private company job that is probably set up in his community, with that he can slot you in to one of the community slots. If its fed govt job, omo 250k is too much and I tell you, there 90% probability that it wont work out. so back off 1 Like |

@OP ;While in Uni, I developed this personal policy that goes thus....never be desperate for anything, no matter what. It is a very difficult policy to uphold, but in the long run, I've never regretted it. Why not patiently persevere as you put in your best. Also be willing to start with a small one. You could even think along the business lines since you have some small money that you're contemplating to pay this man whom you're not so sure of. You could even use the money to acquire some skill set that can help you start something. Above all else, trust in the Lord in all things for He has promised to bless the works of our hands. Be wise my dear. I wish you all the best. 1 Like |
