How To Identify A Scam Interview Invitation

How To Identify A Scam Interview Invitation

I have seen so many Nairalanders complaining and lamenting their ordeal in the hands of fake scam companies who invite people for interview only to introduce them to fake drug marketing business.

I'm doing this not only because these companies waste people's time, energy and T-fair going to such interviews, but also because most of these scammers extort money from hapless job seekers thereby making their suffering times two.

Imagine a scammer extorting #10,500 from a graduate who have been unemployed for years, not to talk of the transport fare wasted going to such fruitless interviews or job chat as they usually call it.

Some people even borrow money to pay these sheep in wolves clothing, who promise them heaven on earth. Some will tell you that you will make half a million within 1 month and all that. If you're not careful, you will take a loan that you will not be able to repay thus causing embarrassment and lack of rest of mind. An unemployed person should have only himself to worry about, not having debts also.

So I believe that if we are properly guided, we will not fall into the hands of these scammers. 

Having said that, there are ways by which one can identify a fake or scam interview invitation and there fore avoid such waste of time and money. The good thing is that most of their messages come in the same format, so you will know its fake!

1. The message does not bear a company name: most of these scammers won't include their names on the message you will receive. All you will see are the address, the time and date and a phone number. A genuine company will not hide its identity from a potential employee.

2. The message will say "interview/job briefing": whatever job briefing means I don't know!

3. You will see a code or reference: something like "HR=0056" or "REF=002". This is an indication of the code number of the person who invited you to the "job briefing".

4. It will contain a phone number: this is the number of your referer. Most genuine companies don't give phone numbers.

5. You will see HR Admin in the message instead of company name

6. If you call their number, they will be reluctant to give info on the company.

And pls, ignore those people sharing job flyers on the streets, and those ones they paste on walls. Those are scammers and some ritualists too. And also most of these so called agencies are avenues for duping unsuspecting job seekers. Pls shine your eyes well well.

I will post the names of some of these fake companies/ agencies later.

Pls if you have any experiences inthe hands of these scammers kindly share it here so that others can learn and avoid them too. Thank you

Cheers!

15 Misconception And Mistakes People Make About Money....

15 Misconceptions And Mistakes People Make About Money

MoneyMistakes: 1.

Never borrow money with interest to start a business (except for salary loans); only borrow to grow your business. 

This is because business takes a long time to gain ground and begin making profit 
yet for most of the loans you begin paying back a month later or even earlier. 

Hence,  never borrow to start a business expecting that business to be the one to pay 
back the borrowed money plus the interest.

MoneyMistakes: 2.

Never spend money you haven't received. Don't even promise someone money based 
on a promise you have from someone else. Don't hear somebody say, 
"Ezra come to my office tomorrow at 9am and pick 2m" and you go and buy 
items on credit hoping to clear when the promised money comes.

If you want to ever save, whenever you receive money ensure you don't start spending 
before taking out the savings hoping that you'll save what remains. 
Normally what remains is zero. And things to spend on even incite their 'relatives' 
while when money to spend is not available we naturally find a way of managing.

MoneyMistakes 4

When you get an opportunity to meet a very wealthy person never ask for money. 
Ask for ideas on how to make money. They can even choose to give you money on 
their own after seeing that your ideas are great, but let getting money from them never 
be your objective.

MoneyMistakes: 5.

Keeping your seed instead of planting it. Many people stop at saving. 
It's very, very difficult to save and have all you need to maintain your lifestyle 
especially after retirement. When you save, your savings are seed; plant it. 
When you just keep it some seeds begin to die (eaten by inflation and the likes). 
That's where I recommend that you read about the different types of investment 
you can use to grow savings. I am not necessarily talking about putting the money in a 
business because you can easily lose money on a business. 
I am talking about putting it in an investment.

MoneyMistakes: 6.

Never lend someone money you are not willing to lose. 
By the time you lend money, be contented in your heart that should the person not pay,
 you will not die. You should not even lose the person as a friend. 
If you realise the person can fail to pay you and you are ok  then lend. 
If you find you would even hate the person's entire clan, please advise the person to go to 
the bank.

MoneyMistakes: 7.

Never append your signature to guarantee someone on a financial matter 
if you are not willing or able to pay the money. 
Do I have to explain that one? No. It's self explanatory.

MoneyMistakes: 8.

Avoid keeping within easy reach money you don't intend to 
use in the short term - don't for instance walk with 100k in your pocket when all 
you plan to do in a day cost 20k.

: MoneyMistakes: 9.

Avoid keeping money at inappropriate places eg in socks, under the pillow, 
in a pit, in the sitting room, in the bra, in a travel bag that you will place 
somewhere eg when in a bus..

MoneyMistakes: 10.

Spending money on an item that you can do without (at least for the time being). 
These days when I pick money from my pocket, before paying for something I ask myself: 
What would happen if I don't buy this? 
If I find I can live with the consequences of not having that thing, I smile and walk away.

MoneyMistakes: 11.

Paying an amount that's not the minimum you can get that same value for. In other words,
if you pay 70k for a shoe at Topman that you can get at 30k at Kejetia/Kanta. 
Arcade, that's a money mistake except for those who have achieved financial freedom.

MoneyMistakes: 12.

Wanting to be the saviour  of the world by helping with ethane in financial need. 
My sister, brother you are not Jesus. If you find it so hard to say No to a financial demand, 
you may think you are practising  
generosity when in actual sense you are practising  committing (financial) suicide.

MoneyMistakes: 13.

Consistently spending all you earn or more than you earn is  like having a 
drum where you have an inlet that's smaller than the outlet. It will never get full. 
And should the inlet ever reduce significantly the drum will run dry. 
If you do it the other way round and the inlet is bugger, it will get full and even overflow. 
Hence, we have to always ensure we are widening the inlet while narrowing the outlet - 
all the time.

MoneyMistakes: 14.

Thinking about short term only and forgetting about long term or think  
about the long term and forgetting about the short term. 
What of those who find they are one paycheck away from salary? 
Are they thinking about the long term needs?

MoneyMistakes: 15.

The Spirit of gambling is something you should loath and disdain with a passion. 
Risk taking is a very good thing and the reason why your ever in business in the 1st place, 
but to be disciplined in anything related to finance, avoid anything that looks 
like gambling as there's what is called clean money or dirty or filthy money; 
that is money whose means or source is unjustified. Avoid anything or friends 
that gambles as sooner or later it will affect you and affect your family. 
Quote me any where, gamblers all over the world be it rich or poor always 
have an obscured ideology of wealth and value. 
If you find out that your dealing or doing business with a gambler, 
you should possibly desist from such association as such people Dont always 
have a sane and healthy reasons why they are in business but just after the money and profit.
A lot of Igbo's insult the Yorubas that they are poor at business, but its not true, 
its just that an average 
Yoruba man to an extent and by culture understand contentment 
and also believe in the language "Calculated Risk." This is not to say that a lot of 
Yoruba's Dont patronize sport bets and pappy Ijebu, believe me, 
I know a lot of Yorubas who do as the case is usually misery makes strange bedfellows.

In Summarily, don't expose your success too quickly in life.I learnt that from playing 
"WHOT"! Once you just say "Last Card", you will see your enemies 
coming out of the woods... 
You'll just be hearing Pick 2, General Market, Hold On, etc.. 
"As if they never had such weapons."

Why you should never say "All protocols observed"

1. It is clearly a lie. 

In essence you have NOT observed all protocols. It is just a claim that the necessarily rules of decorum have been observed but we all know protocol was overlooked altogether. Consider this, if you had been asked to pass a vote of thanks, would you thank one or two people and then state “All thanks given?” 

2. There are other ways to observe protocol without having to mention each and every dignitary present. 

One way is clustering: You can use a general phrase to address all that fall within a certain category – honourable delegates, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, your excellencies, my Lords etc. That way due diligence is paid. 

3. It is a home-grown expression, unrecognised by the rest of the world. 

Other than Kenyans, Nigerians, Ugandans and some South Africans who have become accustomed to hearing this, the expression remains totally alien to the rest of the world. Your audience will be at a loss as to what you mean; and as to why you have opted for that ‘short-cut.’ 

4. It is not necessary to use that expression when protocol has indeed been observed.

At times the speaker does indeed take his or her time to mention the dignitaries in the audience in order of precedence but spoils it by concluding the list with “all protocols observed.” If protocol has indeed been observed then that will be apparent to the audience and therefore redundant to include that out-of-place phrase.

ILLEGAL DESERT JOURNEY TO EUROPE: How Nigerian drowned in Mediterranean Sea

•Man recalls watching brother die in boat wreck

By Job Osazuwa

IT’S a story that would send minds racing, an agonising tale that would leave everyone contemplating what it feels like to be seconds away from death.

A man has told Daily Sun how his brother perished in the Mediterranean Sea, as two of them journeyed illegally to Europe in a rickety boat.

The two brothers from Edo State – Monday and Osas Amanmien – had embarked on the deadly voyage across the angry Mediterranean Sea, intent on hitting Italy where they hoped to make a better living. But the trip turned sour midway, leaving Monday dead. He drowned in the sea following a boat wreck.

Although Osas miraculously survived the disaster, he had to endure one hellish hour, hopelessly floating on an empty keg and being brutally buffeted by the bullish, restless waves. And now, he lives with the eternal trauma of the last words of his brother. Monday had said, in a desperate tone: “My keg dey leak ooo,” before he finally went down.

Osas says his brother drowned so that he might live. He recalled that when it became obvious that the boat was destined to go down, Monday summoned courage and seized two empty water kegs beside him. One was good, the other was bad. He gave his younger one the better keg so that he would be afloat and live while he struggled with the bad keg. He eventually drowned, Osas said. Not even his dead body was retrieved.

Both brothers, who hailed from Benin, had joined the bandwagon of African migrants des­perately trooping to Europe to escape the harsh economic realities at home.

Monday and Osas had left Benin one morn­ing, and embarked on the trip to Europe. The two brothers, alongside others, were on the road. They travelled through Sokoto up to Nia­mey, Agades and Duruku in Niger Republic, enduring the grilling, sahel weather. Finally they landed in Tripoli, the Libyan capital. And from there, they boarded a dingy, overloaded speedboat headed for Italy. But they had the expansive Mediterranean Sea to contend with.

The reporter learnt that before the brothers launched out on the sea journey, they were for weeks holed up in a Libyan ghetto, a camp for travellers. They could not set sail for Italy be­cause they were told that the sea was rough, a development that could make their boat to capsize.

All the same, all the travellers in the camp, including Osas and Monday, were excited. They were further delighted when they were told by their agents that they could embark on the journey and that the sea was no longer furious.

On the said day, Monday and Osas were to be ferried by agents who operated the ‘Gha­na Poli Two.’ The migrants paid their agents several thousands of Libyan Dinars, which, when converted, was about N170, 000 as their transport fare to Italy. As usual, hundreds of migrants fleeing Africa were in the number. They boarded the large boat and said fervent prayers for safety at sea.

Everything was calm as they set sail. With Europe on their minds, everyone was confi­dent of the good life that lay ahead. Everyone began growing in confidence. Then midway into the journey, every prediction crumbled like a pack of cards. Soon, the unthinkable happened just as they were about to celebrate their successful entry into Italian waters. The boat developed a fault. Then a big crack ma­terialised right at a very important part of the boat. It began to let in water, first in small quantities and then in very massive propor­tions. Before the jubilant migrants could re­alise what was amiss, sea water had penetrated and overpowered the hapless craft. Then it began to sink. Fear gripped everyone. Danger and death stared everyone in the face as the end drew near.

At that point, everyone burst out into prayers. Everyone began to pray in various tongues. But that seemed useless. With the waves lashing unrelentingly at the sinking boat, death and disaster appeared a touching distance away. Confusion and uncertainty set in. In no time, the water overshadowed the boat, leaving the migrants at the mercy of the deep, blue sea.

There was no rescue team in sight. To make matter worse, Osas and Monday could not swim. Those that could swim were able to sus­pend and sustain themselves on the water for close to an hour before help finally came.

Monday had quickly grabbed two empty jerry cans he found beside him. He handed one to Osas and held one to serve as lifeline. But unfortunately, the one that Monday had began to let in water.

The reporter was told that Monday deliber­ately held on to the bad one at his own risk; he wanted his younger brother saved. But in a matter of minutes, the brave Monday went down the sea and drowned. His terrified broth­er cried out to his brother. But he was gone, never to be seen again.

Many others in the boat also suffered the same fate with Monday. For those who could swim at least, Providence smiled on them when the Italian rescue team showed up and came to their rescue. They were taken to a refugee camp near Napoli in Italy.

Recalling the ugly tale from Italy recently, Osas told the reporter: “That was actually the first time my late brother and I travelled on wa­ter. It was about 8:00am Libyan time. We were sailing to Italy on the Mediterranean Sea. The weather was bright and everything appeared very much okay. Though we were somehow afraid, there were no signs of danger before us.

“The boat was moving very fast. Our minds were actually filled with various thoughts. Some were happy and singing, while others were calm. My brother and I belonged to the group that was calm. But I had this strange feeling which l could not tell.

“The sea was blue and nothing was before and behind us. The only thing I could see was a point that looked like where the sky was touching the sea. Anytime I looked at the sea, I was always scared, but my brother sensed it and he tried to calm me.

“Sitting next to me, his presence was like a pillar of strength to me. Anytime l looked at his face, it gave me the hope that I was not alone in the journey. Later on, the weather changed and became very cold. I quietly asked myself what pushed me to embark on

such journey. At that point, so many other thoughts began racing through my mind.

“Then suddenly, someone shouted: “Hey! We are already in Italian territory!” We all started shouting and thanking God. We had barely finished that before the unexpected be­gan to happen.

“The boat was carrying many passengers. It suddenly stopped on its own. We tried all we could to re-start it to no avail. At that point, my elder brother drew my attention to a

spot where the boat was leaking and from where water had started coming in. We began to pray in loud voices, but the water was now rushing in with full force. We tried to block the leakage with some plastics materials we found, but the more we did, the more damage it seemed we were doing to the boat.

“Not too long after, I saw our boat going down. I saw death coming closer and closer. My strength was gone.

“Then the worst happened; the boat finally went down and left us at sea. ‘Where is my brother?’ I screamed with the little strength left in me. And gently, he touched me from behind and said ‘no fear, I dey here.’

“He handed over an empty keg to me and told me to hold firmly to it, that it would pre­vent me from sinking. I did as he instructed me.

“He was also holding firmly to one. After a while, the whole place was calm and quiet. It was just few of us left on top of the water. Many of the passengers had drowned. With a gentle voice, my elder brother called me and said, “my gallon dey leak ooo.” He meant that water was coming into the keg. At the time he informed me, he was already going down. But he assured me that nothing would happen to me, that I should hold on to my keg. I looked at him with tears in my eyes; his keg was already filled with water. He struggled to remain on the sea, but he had no strength left any longer. The third time I looked out for him, he was no longer there.

“He was nowhere to be found. He intention­ally gave me the good keg and took the bad one so that l wouldn’t get drowned. It was af­ter an hour later that a rescue team came and picked the rest of us left into its boat and we were moved to somewhere around Napoli, Italy. That was how my brother saved me with his life.

“But was the journey really worth it? Think twice before embarking on this type of jour­ney, because you might not be as lucky as I was.”

Despite the several reports of migrants per­ishing at sea every now and then, a large num­bers of Nigerians and other Africans still em­bark on the very deadly journey, going through the same sea to Europe to seek a better living. The road and means of getting to their destina­tion seem not to matter to them; they are just desperate and are ready to throw everything into it. Some have actually survived the sea to land in Europe of their dream. But, regrettably, many, like Monday, could not make it.

Every now and then, countless Nigerians, with or without any certificate, dare the sand and the sea on their way to Europe.

It was gathered that while some go through Morocco to Spain, the majority prefer the Libyan route leading to Italy. The latter route is said to be faster and cheaper for travellers.

Imasuen Anderson, who was also lucky to have arrived Italy through the Mediterranean Sea, in a telephone interview with Daily Sun, said he had to travel abroad, having searched for a job with his Ordinary National Diploma (OND) certificate without success. He re­called that the sea was very peaceful and calm the day he traversed it in the middle of 2015. For him, the journey was very smooth. He said he spent 10 hours on the sea travelling be­tween Libya and Italy.

Hear him: “The amount paid for the journey depends on the agent that is going to ferry one across the sea. Some do charge 1, 000, 1, 200 or 1, 500 Dinars (which is between N120, 000 and N200, 000, depending on the exchange rate). The number of hours one spends at sea depends on the camp that one chooses.

“If one uses Ghana Poli One, it will take up to 10 or 12 hours before the passengers will get to ltaly. The Ghana Poli Two will take eight to 10 hours while Ghana Poli Three takes six to eight hours. Zuara is the fastest; it takes be­tween four and six hours.

“Once the boat is close to the Italian terri­tory, the leader of the team will call for Italian rescue team that will assist the passengers to settle down in their camps.

“The number of people the boat can trans­port depends on the size of the boat. Some can take up to 100 people; others, between 130 and 150 at most. The double-Ddecker or double-layer boat can take 200 passengers and above.

“The boys are usually more in number on any boat. The girls are seated at the middle while the boys sit close to the edge to protect the girls in the middle. The operators arrange things in such a way that the girls will not see the sea and the wave because they will be scared.

“Among the passengers, there must be cou­rageous people of faith to stabilise others. The risk involved rises when the sea is not calm and when the weather is not clear. That is when the boat normally capsizes. Overloading of the boat can also cause an accident. There is always too much cold but people at the cen­tre of the boat would not feel it much because the people standing or sitting on the edge will cover them. Above everything, every aspect of the journey is by the grace of God,” he said.

Meet 33-year-old virgin who wants to remain so till 50 (photos)

A Kenyan woman, Rahab Mugure Nga’nga, has got everyone talking after she revealed that if she doesn’t get married, she would remain a virgin forever without ever having sex.

This was made known after the 33-year-old commercial service manager granted an interview in which she dished out tips on how she has maintained her virginity and stance. Rahab said she has kept her virginity because of her religious belief and desire to please her God.

Rahab Mugure Nga’nga is a 33-year-old virgin who is not ready to give up on love yet

“I am a born again Christian and I do not want to offend God with sexual sin, sex outside the marriage bond is sin. I want to have s*x, just like the next person, but because I haven’t before, it is not a distraction.”

She said her eagerness to please her mother and not disappoint her by getting pregnant out of wedlock has kept her strong. She revealed that even though she was involved in two serious long term relationship which unfortunately ended badly, she has remained a virgin.

Rahab said she has kept her virginity because of her religious belief and desire to please her God.

“My first, which lasted two and a half years, ended because our ideals on sexual boundaries clashed. The second, which lasted three years, ended two months to my wedding date. I rush straight home from work and keep my socializing at zero until these winds have passed. I also avoid reading certain books or watch soap operas and I do not kiss or caress men.” 

Rahab who has graduated with both a Bachelors and Master’s degree in Marketing says even if she turns 50 without getting married, she will remain a virgin and maybe adopt a baby. 

God help her!
