Hi Guys,
This is Santosh Verma writing from Bangalore. Today, after a week-long process, I have succeeded in receiving an offer from NIGERIAN LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS LIMITED as an HR manager. Throughout the process, there have been no instances of telephonic communication; all interactions have been via email. I have attached the offer letter and the terms of service. Could someone please review them and confirm their authenticity? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please ignore the 'offer'. This is another one of a series of scams originating from Nigeria and other African countries. I know of more than a dozen job seekers who have posted their resumes on Naukri.com and have received such 'offers' without even having undergone a telephonic interview.
This scam is now becoming common, and the next ones making rounds are: 'Microsoft Lottery', 'Financial Aid for Professional and Personal Development', 'Lotto winner from millions of email addresses randomly selected', etc.
Just delete the email and forget about it.

Dear Santosh,
Please ask for the hard copy of the offer and inform them that the Indian government only recognizes hard copies. Now that you have the offer, kindly request the residence details and your E-ticket for landing in Nigeria. Additionally, inquire about the airport pickup and request a photo of the person who will be picking you up.
In the meantime, you can contact the Nigerian embassy with the documents for cross-checking. Follow through until the end, boss. If the offer is genuine, you should hopefully receive all these items by the time the embassy verifies it.

Beware of fake job offers, internet scam
Date: January 26, 2006

ISLAMABAD: The world famous Nigerian Advance fee fraud known as ‘419 Scam’, used to send e-mails or postal letters offering to move a billion of US dollar funds in the victim’s account and pledged a huge chunk of share from that fund. Many people went behind the bars from across the world including Pakistan for being involved in this scam but majority of them belonged to Nigeria and other African countries. Billion of fake US currency, bank letters, stamps, companies letterhead were recovered from the scammers. People from almost every country of the globe got affected and even some companies suffered a loss of huge amount. Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) issued a detailed report about 419 Scam and disclosed that about 500 million US dollor’s losses were suffered by 419 victims. Report also showed that around the world thousands of victims were killed and kidnapped after being involved in this scam.
The exposure of 419 Scam did send a warning message to all the internet surfers but people continue to become prey of this trap. With the passage of time the Info tech is getting advanced and equally shrewd who come up with different schemes and programming offering lucrative incentives to innocent net users. Scammers have now launched a new fraud on internet by offering jobs in oil and other companies with very attractive salaries ranging from US$ 45,000 to 95,000 with many other perks and priviledges like quality single or family housing accommodation, free medical care and insurance for entire family, excellent educational assistance benefits for all dependents, airfares with holiday travel, and excess baggage allowances, paid vacation, official vehicle, and many more gimmicks like these. Scammers mostly target the Asian countries including Pakistan as the unemployment ratio is rather very high in these states and majority are living below the poverty line. The lower middle class wants to make progress overnight and hence they are always ready to take the financial risk involved in the offers of the scammers.
There are different types of scams, some of them offer a guaranteed employment within a fixed time period against the deposit of a fee. What all these companies do is that these just distribute candidates Resume to prospective employers, this is also known as CV or Resume “Blasting”. You pay money to have your details sent to worldwide employers who are hiring, but what the fraudsters do is that they SPAM hundreds or thousands of employers, industry websites and online magazines with your details. Some recruiting companies offer a money back guarantee as an incentive to use them but very few job seekers ever receive a refund.
Some time scammers advertise a job on the behalf of a real company. A bogus telephone or by email interview may take place and after some time you are informed that you are selected for that job. Now you need to secure the job they ask you to send money for your work visa or travel costs to the agent or a bogus travel agent who works on their behalf no matter what the variation, they always involve the job seeker sending them or their agent money, credit card or bank account details.
How to avoid these types of scams never give your personal bank account, PayPal account, or credit card numbers, never forward, transfer, or "wire" money to an employer.
Remember that a genuine employer or agency will not ask for money for visa processing or travel costs. One may be required to provide your own airfares, but you should do so through a travel agent in your area and which you know and trust. All the scams start by receiving e-mail or answering a job advertisement by e-mail. Fraudsters use free e-mail or web mail accounts such as hotmail, yahoo, mail, excite etc But a genuine employers and agencies never use a free e-mail service they all use their own domain name. To check a genuine e-mail address or domain name by extracting the text after the “@” sign, add “www.” as a prefix and test the address in your browser. If genuine it should show the web site of the company the person is supposed to belong to. Check for telephone and fax numbers and contact the company directly to ensure the person actually works for them. Always ask for phone, fax and office address details of the agency. You can easily check out through international directory enquiries or the local chamber of commerce websites.
In the history of internet frauds most famous frauds are Auction Fraud , Auction Fraud - Romania , Counterfeit Cashier's Check, Credit Card Fraud, Debt Elimination, DHL/UPS, Employment/Business Opportunities, Escrow Services Fraud, Identity Theft, Internet Extortion, Investment Fraud, Lotteries, Nigerian Letter or "419", Phishing/Spoofing, Ponzi/Pyramid, Reshipping, Spam, Third Party Receiver of Funds. For latest information’s on these internet frauds check these websites http://www.419legal.org, www.fraud.org, www.ifccfbi.gov, http://data-wales.co.uk <link updated to site home> , www.data-wales.co.uk. The World Privacy Forum issued a detail report on online job scams which can be found at http://www.worldprivacyforum.org/jobscamreportpt1.html
To avoid such kind of fraud there is need for awareness and information campaign on part of the government. There should be an official website of the government containing information, details, updates of new trends, tips and tricks regarding online scams and safety measures as to how the people protect themselves from these Info tech frauds.

Hi Santosh,
I am currently located in Africa. Even here in Egypt, offers from Nigeria are not looked at seriously, sorry, not looked at at all. My suggestion is to ignore it. If at all you want to check it out, please get in touch with the Nigerian Embassy in New Delhi. I recall reading an email wherein a post from the Embassy itself stated that such offers were indeed hoaxes. If you are really keen to work in Egypt, I could help you as I now have some contacts here.

I am sure our members are aware of the various types of scams perpetrated by con men, who earlier used to operate from one particular country, but now apparently are spread across the globe, to make gullible people part with their hard-earned money. These started a couple of years ago with sporadic emails received by some individuals, wherein large sums of money were promised by 'widows' of slain African political leaders who had billions of dollars stashed away in some Swiss bank accounts, in return for their agreeing to 'lend' their bank accounts to claim the money.
Then came the 'Lottery' scam, wherein people receive emails informing them of having won millions of dollars in some lottery conducted through random selection of email addresses from their central database. These scammers even use the name and logo of Microsoft and UK government departments to add credibility to their offers. The latest in the series of scams seems to be the unsolicited job offers and 'Financial Aid for Professional and Personal Advancement' now circulating. All these have one feature in common. The first few emails were silent on the individuals having to part with any money to claim the offers, but later they start demanding money for various expenses in connection with the formalities to be completed. In some cases, they even successfully manage to get the victim's bank account details, including passwords! While several hundred people are reported to have lost money in such scams from India alone, many have not even reported such incidents to the police authorities, out of embarrassment over having fallen prey to obvious frauds.
Many members have suggested that those who receive such emails should report the matter to the Indian Embassy or the Embassy of the country from where the mails originated. Please note that all these agencies, and even the police authorities in India and the respective countries, are aware of these scams. However, the sheer number of cases being reported to them, plus the fact that sending such an email alone is not a crime unless some criminal intention is proved, and the practical difficulty in tracing out the origin of hundreds of such emails, all make it impossible for any of these agencies to investigate all the cases reported, UNLESS the 'crime' actually takes place. Several such crimes have already been investigated by the police authorities of various Indian states, and many scammers have already been put behind bars too. But still, their numbers show no signs of dwindling, going by the number of emails people have reported receiving lately. One source from where they have been obtaining email addresses of prospective victims seems to be job sites like Naukri.com.
I would, therefore, suggest that any members receiving emails with tell-tale subjects like job offers from Nigeria or Winning of Lotteries in the subject line, just delete the emails without even opening them. You would, of course, be doing a social service by spreading awareness about such scams through forums like this.

Incidentally, I am one of those real lucky guys who has won not one, but TWO international lotteries! However, since I am quite well off financially, I am not interested in claiming the mega prizes. I am attaching both the notifications so that anyone else who is in need of money can contact the organizers and claim the money. Claiming the prize looks quite simple, and perhaps many of you may be able to claim a portion of it :D

Hi Sowjanya,
How many offers do you want from Nigeria? And don't forget the lottery emails. The aim is to get your account number and then siphon off the funds from there. Plus, you would have sent a check in advance for services rendered, so you end up losing this money too. Would you like to try it? 😉
On one of the groups of which I am a member, we had a whole lot of mail on this topic. Unfortunately, I have deleted those after reading as I was aware of these scams. Even here in Alexandria, Egypt, people do not accept offers from Nigeria. Need I say more?

Hello Santosh,
This is fake. The address that was given is very close to my office, and I sent my assistant to check it out, but I was not able to find any information about them. You know this forum has been very useful to me, and I will do everything within my capabilities to assist others.
I called the number, but it was never reachable. Why would you use a number that cannot be reached on someone's offer letter? Also, the offer letter has no logo. Here in Nigeria, when giving out an offer letter, it must be on your company letterhead paper. Moreover, there are recruitment processes that you have to follow. I work in a Human Resource Consulting Firm, and we recruit globally. There was never a time we recruited someone without having any personal contact with them.
Do not mind them. IT IS FAKE.

Dear Santosh,
I agree with Rajeev. I have also received an offer from Nigeria for AFROJET AIRLINES LIMITED. The company itself sent me an email. You need to contact the Nigerian Immigration Office in Nigeria, which is what I am currently doing. In my situation, they will provide me with one month's salary in advance once I obtain my work permit and VISA from the Nigerian Immigration office.
The address of the Immigration office in your letter is the same as mine. The only difference is the email ID.
Just a couple of things to clarify:
Was your letter in Word format or PDF?
Through which consultant did you receive the offer?
You will learn more once you make contact with the Immigration office.
Regards,

Dear Santosh,
I agree with Rajeev and would suggest you to get in touch with the Immigration office in Nigeria. The address they have mentioned is correct. Even I have received a similar email from Nigeria. It's AFROJET AIRLINES Ltd. They also asked me to consult with the Immigration office.
If it's a fraud case, they will not provide you with the correct address. Two different fraudsters cannot give you the correct address, and your consultant is also different from mine. They may have obtained your data from Naukri or Times. If so, please let me know. They referred to me, stating they have taken my resume from Timesjob.
We can discuss the rest once I receive a response from you.

Hi Santosh,

Hi,
If you don't mind, could you please check the same for me as well?
I received an offer in PDF format with a logo and seal, and it was written "signed, sealed, and delivered for and on behalf of: Afrijet Airlines." I have checked their website, and the same names appear on their directors' list. The website is AFRIJETAIRLINES.com. Their contact number is 234-703-089-6244. I would be very grateful to you.
Thanks and regards,

Hi All,
It is undoubtedly a fake letter and one of the many scams erupting/emerging out of these African nations.
Sonia: The aftermath of getting into the trap is losing your hard-earned money. Why would anyone pay you one month's salary in advance without getting a minute's work from you? Has it ever happened? At least in this day and age?
Some food for thought.
Guys: Even if you get genuine offers from the African nations, my word of advice would be DO NOT GO. Almost all the nations in Africa are undergoing civil war, and life ain't easy trying to dodge the bullets, gunfire, kidnappings, rape, and all.
As the saying goes, "Jaan hai toh Jahaan hai...." money will come when it is destined. So don't throw caution to the winds and indulge in a journey that will only end in the grave.
This post is not intended to hurt anyone's sentiments.
This post is being written after hearing horror stories from people who went to work in Africa and came back disillusioned and poorer.

Hi Santosh,
I can assure you that this is a fake letter of employment. I work with a recruitment agency in Nigeria, and I know that NLNG will not offer you a position as HR manager without speaking with you and conducting several interviews, even if they have to pay for you to come into the country or send someone to meet with you in India. Please do not continue communications with these fraudulent individuals; many people have fallen for their schemes and suffered great losses.
In the future, if you are contacted by a recruitment agency in Nigeria, please do a Google search on the list of recruitment agencies in Nigeria or the name of the agency contacting you. If you are looking to work in Nigeria, please contact me via my email efynecontry@gmail.com/efynecontry@doheneyservices.com. You can also visit our website at www.doheneyservices.com.

Dear Santosh,
Please ignore completely. I am a Nigerian working in HR. The NLNG is a prominent organization in Nigeria and would not offer you an appointment without sending an official letter. Typically, this letter would come from the immigration department to assist in procuring an STR visa. It is essential to be aware that the letter you received is fake. Additionally, please note that the government is actively working to track down those responsible for the numerous scams originating from Nigeria.

No Nigerian company can pay USD $200,000 per annum.
One more point to mention - most of the African countries are offering packages not in the form of CTC but rather they will take care of all your day-to-day expenses and will offer you a final savings package per year.
Hence, as you decided, forget it.

Please ignore the offer. I am a Nigerian Group Human Resources Manager in Nigeria with experience in the oil and gas industry. The offer letter is not in the standard format from LNG. Additionally, expat quotas are not obtained by the employee but by the employer through the Nigerian Immigration Service. The language of the letter, the terms, and conditions are unprofessional, and the job location is not specific. Please do not respond to the offer or engage in any form of communication with the sender as they intend to defraud you.
