I am a bit skeptical. This is not the best of times for the oil industry considering current crude prices, a lot are actually downsizing at the moment. Is he saying the training would provide a guaranteed job? If so, then he is suspect. |
Re: Am I Being Scammed? Please Advice! by lordsone(m): 3:31pm On Oct 05, 2015 |
this is scam. if he truly wants to help you, he can pay the money for you and ask a refund when you get the job. this is a familiar way of scamming desperate people who want jobs in the oil and gas sector. but if you still doubt then you can send the 25k and tell us when you finally get this dream job. good luck... |

To be candid, u really do have a knack for pooling in people traffic, but i loved ur post on d 'How are u surviving without a job' tho.....Back to d matter hun, i would have told u to go ahead with it, but to be sincere, i am beginning to smell scam! What is funny is i have a friend, who is exactly in d same shoes as u, and guess what? He gave me these exact same details u did, about Buhari choosing a cabinet of some kind and how its supposed to affect dis same 'project'.... believe me, i even advised my friend to wait fo this his trusted friend and not return to Lagos until this planned project pulls through.....My advise? be very cautious, if u could gather d 25k without hassle, and u can actually forfeit it, go ahead, but if u can't, u better pull out...Something definitely dosen't sound right. People can actually change, not excluding dis friend of urs, u are one person he knows he can hoodwink, so be wise....take every effing thing with a pinch of salt! and then on d other hand, if this project comes out to be true, i would gladly apologize.....e Smart, Be careful & Be curious......!DO NOT FORGET TO PRAY |

Nobody within the industry even the smallest company will tell you to pay for your HUET. Your performance in the HUET training is actually supposed to be monitored or supervised by the supposed company you will work for. So they are supposed to finance the training. Ok tell him you have seen a trainer who wants to collect 55k if he could assist you with the 40k and you just have to add 15k which you dont even have. See what his reaction will be. Be wise. Scammers on the prowl. |

Dont know what to say cos scam everywhere even your family will scam you but this case if u go around borrowing the money and it turned out to be a scam how will you pay back? my advice since he is willing to give u 80% of the money beg him to complete his good will and promise to pay back.... no crime in seeking for advice.... anybody that u have not av a close contact with for over 3years, u need to be careful dealing with such person..... 1 Like |

@OP. Is ur close paddy so you should know him better. I work with shell myself let me put you through how this works. Your friend may or may not actually be paying 45k for you as he said, you see most @times free certification programme comes up and supervisors are directed to nominate 2 or 3 best staff from his end, but they end up bringing outsiders in replacement of the real staff in such situation u might require to just give the cordinators a small thank you to close eye and put the names supervisors gave to them even when they know very well the name is an external. But if you have doubt about your guy sincerity just do a lot of verification before given out any money. I can as well help you verify if you can get more detail about the said project. 1 Like |

Kenchukky:your right, though i have the feeling that the guy is only fixing his name for a free training, i doubt if he is paying any kobo for him. Though i don't if the guy is 4 real. |

No glory without a story. Life itself is a risk, i feel you should risk it. I pray you get a good result. |
Re: Am I Being Scammed? Please Advice! by digitsolution: 6:22pm On Oct 05, 2015 |
It might be real. You never can tell. Do verify if he truly works there? Ask him to pay for you since you are presently unemployed. If he can't then you probably have to take the risk. No gut no glory son.

Since the job is coming up in October just here, tell your friend to pay the money for u now that you ll pay back once the contract begins since its beginning soon. Omor run for your life, that 25k is just the beginning of many more demands to come. 6 years contract and he ll just hand it to you in this current Nigeria? Say what? Even if its your blood brother. Shine your eyes bro. |

My friend, that is a classic case of recruitment scam. I did an article on job recrutment scam in Nigeria as a term paper during my masters program. There are things to watch out for to identify job scams in Nigeria. How I wish I would have enough time to summarize the 15 page term paper and post it on this forum so that people would not fall victim of job scsmmers. In mean time, I could email anyone interested:ecn360@yahoo.com |

Bcole: I totally agree with you. Op, go ahead and pay the money. I am into same industry and can give you 98% guarantee that he doesn't wish to swindle you. He simply wants you to contribute your own quota. You are lucky you weren't asked to present a BOSIET certificate. HUET is an integral part of BOSIET...which is made up of the following: 1. HUET: Helicopter Underwater Escape Tactics 2. SAS: Survival At Sea 3. Basic First Aid 4. Basic Fire Fighting BOSIET can cost you and much and 300k. In order to boost your moral, I am offering to refund you your 25k if it turns out otherwise. Sometimes, we need to trust people. Inbox me on c4mine@yahoo.com for further communication. I wish you luck. Cheers. |
Re: Am I Being Scammed? Please Advice! by Chynx(m): 8:22am On Oct 06, 2015 |
Kenchukky: This is not correct. I personally funded my BOSIET course as directed by the company I was about to join in 2012. I had to cough out 250k for the course in Tollmann Allied Services, along Trans Amadi industrial layout in Portharcourt. Today, I have absolutely no regrets. Very few people have a clear insight on what it really entails. Mind you, there are ONLY two OPITO certified companies in Nigeria today. 1. Charkins Maritime in Portharcourt 2. Falck Prime Atlantic in Ogun state. ...thats if they are asking for an OPITO standardized HUET. |

Chynx: @ chynx, I just got a mail this morning from one Howard group stating that my qualifications and experiences matches a job from shell production development company (spdc), An attachment with supposed Shell letterheaded paper was sent requesting that I send my recent resume/cv to ErickParker@outlook.com. Note: Erick Parker is the Human Resources Manager as stated on the letterheaded paper attachment. I honestly don't see it as a real thing................ |
Re: Am I Being Scammed? Please Advice! by Chynx(m): 4:49pm On Oct 06, 2015 |
vivaobi: This one sounds fake...but just in case; it won't cost you anything to send a copy if your CV. Stay alert for monetary demands (or request for your bank infi) and NEVER part with a dime. Keep me posted. |
