This is to expose the way most scams operate online.
Due to the level of unemployment in Nigeria and other countries of the world, most people are having a field day reaping job seekers of the little money they have with the fake promises of giving them employment.
I have been a victim in some cases. Based on the experience, i want to give you a tip of the iceberg on how they operate or rather how to know them before they collect another which you might have borrowed from a relative.
1. They are after your money and will not bother to look at the CV or Covering letter you sent.
2. They will always demand for people with little or no experience.
3. They will reply your application even if you send it 2 weeks after the deadline they gave.
Now this is how to catch them if you see these elements or if you suspect any opportunity.
Moreover, no reputable company will ask you to part with money for interview or whatsoever before they give you job. Again, recruitment agencies are supposed to collect money from the employer and not you the employee.
When you see a questionable opportunity, respond with 2 different email address and 2 different names. Have you CV attached in the main application and attach anything you like in the other application.
If they reply and ask for payment, check the other email.
Since they are after money and do not have time to go through all the applications received, they will reply all the applications without even opening your CV. This is so because the more replies they send, the more money they are likely to make.
So you will surely receive a reply even in the other email that you attached a blank page.
THE BALL IS THEN IN YOUR COURT.
