Nairaboi:

My sister inlaw ( husband's sister) a lady in her mid 40s who's divorced and a hustler type still trying to find her feet .
The quote above is by the o.p, and that is why women will always remain wicked. You wanted to tell us a story about how you sister in law wanted to scam you. why bring her history?

Don't mind her..
She is shaming her SIL.. But the joke is on her too!!!

Liftmaster:
It may have escaped your notice, but the scheme you described is illegal, immoral and abhorrent. What is the money to be used for? Bribe the Director? Curry favor from a government agency or directorate? It is unfortunate that this type of behavior is generally accepted in Nigerian society today. In case you're wondering what you should have done, you should have stated clearly that this is an illegal act and you will not be involved in such a despicable scheme. If you have 350 - 500k laying around, why not start a business or invest in something? If bribery is what it takes to get a govt agency job, you should abstain, maintain your honor and prevent any blemish to your conscience.

Do you live abroad or in Nigeria? I'm just asking.

eyinjuege:
You did well.
Is your SIL not educated?
How would anyone fall for such a stupid scam?
Why cant she get the job for herself? Abi her own destiny rejects to work in a big place?
You better let your husband know that you dont want his family involved in your job hunt. Meanwhile she would have packaged the lies for your MIL, and that one too will think her daughter is the don, getting jobs for people in all these big agencies and corporations.
Or perhaps mama is also in on the deal.

hahahaha

You are 20 times more likely to be scammed by a family member than an outsider

Amya:


If she wants to scam her brother directly, and he falls for it, good and fine. If however she wants to use me in her scam, then it cant work.

My MIL usually call me from time to time to inquire in a mocking tone if I'd finally gotten the supposed one i allegedly paid for. When i tell her no, she'll be like my daughter wanted to help you but you refused.. She's been a bit chill now when the co-wife's own busted though. It was even from her i heard they'd paid for my co-wife and the job didnt come through. Her money is it sef.

You can tell your MIL that the one u supposedly paid for didn't go through and the agent has refunded your money in full...…….. sense will not kill me

meetme01:
When you sensed scam. You should have at least informed your husband without telling him what you suspected. It's going to be your husband that would pay, I believe? If so, you just tell your husband to ask questions to make sure she's (your sis in law) not being given fake information since she's also a third party. If it results in scam, the issue will die within the family and you won't be boxed into a corner. You shot yourself by being too smart.

You are not married. If you are married and sound this way, you don't love your husband.

She should protect her husband from greedy and selfish wicked siblings. She, her husband and kids should be her priority and not protecting some damn peace to the detriment of her immediate family.

If her husband is so dumb to take side with his siblings instead of wife, then he needs a wife like this to protect and save him from wolf-like family members.

I get calls everyday from fraudsters telling me about job opportunities in Customs, civil defense and immigrations.

I just let them waste their airtime as they ramble with their lies.
One of them asked me to pay 400K for the custom job. We negotiated, he accepted to collect 200K advance payment. I asked him for his account and sent him N200.

He called back to complain that I sent him N200 instead of N200K. I told him it wasn't a mistake that I sent him the N200 so he can buy bread and akara and eat, make hungry no kill am for him 419 business.

God saved you already.


Resist the urge to shalaye

Women too?

Amya:
I've been looking to get a federal agency job in Abuja for a while now and haven't yet had any reasonable connection.

My sister inlaw ( husband's sister) a lady in her mid 40s who's divorced and a hustler type still trying to find her feet called me up one day and told me a friend of hers had a connection for Civil Defence and i should email my CV right away to her. I have never discussed jobs with her before so the call took me by surprise. I wasnt particular keen on Civil Defence and as a lawyer i had my sights much higher on parastatal or agency jobs. She might have sensed my reluctance on the phone and she went on to say

"I'm just doing you a favour ooo, many people are hoping for opportunities as this"

She had this tone of urgency.

I didnt especially like how she was hurrying me as i never approach anything with desperation and as such, have never been scammed. I told her I'll get back to her. Two hours later, she was messaging me on whatsapp that she hadn't seen my CV on her mailbox. I replied her saying

"Aunty i haven't sent it ooo, is the job slot free because me i don't have money ooo"

This was a very dicey situation for me because this woman is over 10 years my senior and i wanted to be as diplomatic as possible without causing family wahala.

She read my response but didnt reply.

Very early the next morning she called me and when i picked up, she said that the job wasnt free but the price wasnt too much, just N350k. That i shouldn't worry that she'll call my hubby (her brother) and ask him for the money. When i saw she was still pushing, i opened up to her that even if i wanted to pay for a job slot, it definitely wasnt going to be a Civil Defence job as i had my sights set on agencies and parastatals. I knew she was upset by how her voice changed. "Agencies? What's that?" I told her like NNPC, DPR, NCC and the likes
"NNPC? ehnnn.. Okay" She cut the call and i heaved a sigh that it was over. It wasn't.

Two days later, this woman called me again to tell me she has an NNPC job for me.

(you've gat to be kidding me!)

She said that her friend knows the director and he asked for one million but after begging him, he agreed to take 500k she started with her hurrying tactics that i had only 24hrs and if payment wasn't made before then that the offer will be withdrawn. At that time, NNPC were done with their recruitment process and i didnt even apply and knowing how stringent NNPC recruitment was, i knew that offer was impossible. She went on that if I didn't have the cash that she'd call her brother (hubby) to make the transfer immediately. I knew right then without a doubt that this woman wanted to use me to obtain her brother by all means. She can try to scam him directly and if he falls mugu, good for her but why try to use me in the scam? I went further with questioning her on the supposed NNPC job. "Please Aunty the director that is helping, where is he?
" Abuja nau" she replied getting irritated with my questioning.

She was in Lagos and i was in Abuja at the time
so i asked her if i could meet the supposed director one on one and pay him directly and even promised to reward her and her friend handsomely if the deal pulls through.

"No" she said abruptly "you pay the money to my account and ill give it to my friend to make the payment. All you have to do is just hope and pray"

Pray... That word. I knew then without a doubt that this Aunty was trying to scam me.

I told her "Aunty please dont be angry, i know you mean well for my future and want me to get a good job in NNPC but right now I've already paid part payment for another job somewhere and i wouldn't want to invest in two places at once" That wasnt true, i just had to get her off my tail once and for all. She was shocked. She angrily cut the call. She wanted to finesse her brother out of some cash using my future, what happens when the real slot comes around. Would i expect him to pay twice?

Her mum (mil) called me and started blasting me. Saying I'm feeling too big to be helped and her daughter was only trying to help me and now she never wanted to have anything to do with me again. That i should call her daughter and take the offer so that peace would reign. I didnt. Even my hubby blamed me and i couldn't even open my mouth to tell anyone i thought the whole setup was a scam. That's such a big accusation to make. The family dislike for me grew worse because of that incident.

Please did i do wrong?



Modified: For those asking me to talk to hubby, ofcourse i did but he genuinely believes his sister was trying to help and since i couldnt point out outright that the whole thing smelt of scam, hr thinks i rejected the offer because of pride. But i know better. It didnt cause serious issue between us though.

Amya on the beat.

Ones you have a SIL who isn't married or divorced, do everything you can to avoid them...especially those ones above 30. They are instigators extraordinary.

Extremely dangerous.

Again, issues like this let your hubby know from onset..He is the only one who got ur back o....MIL in collaboration with SIL na danger o.

Scam! When it's not your money. This is the reason I avoid family or relative business, she is a family member, let her know if the job doesn't go through she will refund the money. Maybe your hubby is stingy and the family planned a means to obtain money through job scam as they believe it's the only way your hubby will drop the cash....you come bust their game.. You wicked. Now it's now family wahala. And you are not there when they were raising him. Anyway you smart.

crackkland:


And guess what? If you tell your SIL you're interested next week, the slot will still be open.

Na so dem dey do oo

I know the tense situation is created because u are a woman married into the family. but there's a saying that He Who Wants Peace Should Prepare For War....if the sis-in-law feels too important that her word is taken for granted, tell ur hubby the truth and nothing but the truth....just know how to coat the truth. it's better it brings a lil misunderstanding but solves a bigger misunderstanding in the future...but now if u sugarcoat the problem, it will rear it's ugly head soonest

Your sister in-law may be innocent too ooo.. Do you what these scammers do? They will call someone by his names and tell him/her that they are his so and so friend before... That why have u forgotten them so soon.. They will say anyway they have an opportunity for a Job slot that if you have somebody that is not working should forward her/his CV, that they only want to help ooo base on how you guys lived days back. Then, u will be wandering who this person might be but will be cautious to ask him/her to explain himself well, thinking the person might vex and will not help again. They will ask somebody to bring his brother, cousin, sister etc Because they know that you the main and final target is answerable to the person that will bring you.... You that they will bring Will then think is genuine base on say na person wey you sabi and trust connect you to the parrow, so the scammer will SCAM you without delay. THE END!!!

You must have a really bad relationship with your husband. Those types that's usually filled with distrust.

It's obvious ur hubby is based abroad. N his sis n mother wanted money desperately..
Anyways u shd explain the red light in the job offer telling him how NNPC job offer works

FlordFlorez:
Imagine that. And ur husband had to believed her? Nawa o.

It's normal.
She seem not to be a trustworthy person too. For her husband not to believe her. Why didn't she inform the husband immediately it started?

seekers

End-time sister in-law

seunsidechick:

As in her husband brother's wife

No!
Polygamy.
Husband has many wives.

From your story all blame should really be on you as you are experiencing now.
First of all, why didn't you tell your husband from the start that his sister was trying to help you with a job and see his reaction. Even when she wanted to tell him herself why didn't you give the go ahead so that even if it was a scam, your husband will deal with it as she is his sister and the blame is not on your head.

Secondly we all know most of these job opportunities is who know who and money changing hands. What if she was genuinely trying to help you maybe because she knows they won't accept her age and probably she don't have the qualification you have to fit in. Maybe she wanted to help you so that when you enter you might not forget her with some little monthly tithes from your salary.

Sometimes people need to think about things from different angles and not just one perspective which they believe in. The reason I am saying this is because everyone didn't see it as a scam including your husband which means there is probably some genuine connect in what she was trying to do just maybe she added some extra cash to the fee they requested or they might be right about the way they see you.

GodPunishBiafra:

It's normal.
She seem not to be a trustworthy person too. For her husband not to believe her. Why didn't she inform the husband immediately it started?

Not trustworthy? How did u arrive at that?

Tadeknkeepcalm:
But what kind of relationship do you and your husband have that you can not tell him how you feel?

I swear u nailed it, I don't know what type of relationship people do have nowadays. It kills me people express their shortcomings publicly like this. U damn need to go work on your relationship. SMH.

Bola146:
Trust nobody! In-laws and their wahala Just ignore them, silence is the best answer for a fool. The mother brought up a fool like herself. I really pity that old woman creating chaos among her children

You are either going to make a bad wife, or you you are one already

Her mum (mil) called me and started blasting me. Saying I'm feeling too big to be helped and her daughter was only trying to help me and now she never wanted to have anything to do with me again. That i should call her daughter and take the offer so that peace would reign. I didnt. Even my hubby blamed me and i couldn't even open my mouth to tell anyone i thought the whole setup was a scam. That's such a big accusation to make. The family dislike for me grew worse because of that incident.

Please did i do wrong?



Modified: For those asking me to talk to hubby, ofcourse i did but he genuinely believes his sister was trying to help and since i couldnt point out outright that the whole thing smelt of scam, hr thinks i rejected the offer because of pride. But i know better. It didnt cause serious issue between us though.

You are a dutiful wife ma.
Trust me your hubby knows the truth about his sister

A man's foe shall be them of his own household, so says the scriptures.

Everyone should be on the alert.
