I got this email from a job seeker who wants to share his bitter experience with an alleged "Discovery Air" in Abuja. However, he wants his identity undisclosed.
Here it goes...
Hello Jobzilla,
Please do not reveal any part of my name or email address. I am telling you
this in confidence but you can share it so people will think first, no
matter how desperate the are, before they act.
I got a call from someone(08030867596) who got my number from a reliable source (can't reveal the source because I intend pursuing the matter to the end). He said he was restructuring Discovery Air and all dt but me being desperate for a job because I really need one, had to borrow over 60k paid N50,200 into this diamond bank account 0048445675 With name Mrs Assumpta G.Okafor.
He told me the woman was their head of ticketing and reservations. The money I paid was a refundable return ticket fee. I was blinded by desperation and I did all he asked. Only for me to get to the airport in Abuja and discover that Discovery Air was grounded and had their licence revoked.
They don't have a stand in the airport. All efforts to reach this man has been useless as he refused to answer my calls and now his line is switched off. This happened between Oct 25 - 28 2015.
I have never been or felt this stupid in my life!!!!
And I need money for my rent, and to start up a micro biz. Now I am into more debts!!!
If you are a job seeker who has applied for several jobs through several websites, why not save this number on your phone today as "Discovery Air Scam" in case they call you with the same story. lol.
Good luck guys and be careful out there.
If you have any stories and experiences (good or bad) you'd like to share with others, kindly send me a mail via info[at]jobzilla.ng.
I respect your privacy.
