I showed my sister and
friend the message, but they weren't in support because it looks fake
according to them. No company address nor company's name they said I
shouldn't go, been that I was desperate I have already decided to go
deep down in me.
On 2nd of April a number added me to a group chat on
what's app it was the same number that sent the message for the
interview that added me to the chat, was surprised but kept quiet.
He
then said anyone who is interested on the job should indicate, I
indicated so he started a private chat with me. I then asked him for the
company's name and address he refused and said he wld only give it to
me if am 100% sure I would come I assured him that I would be there, he
then text the address to me and told me when I get to so so gate I
should wait there and call him to come pick me.
At that point my eye
clear Lol everything became suspicious. I told my mum about it and she
said I shouldn't go.. this man kept on calling and calling me every
minute, he called on monday and asked when I was coming I told him
Tuesday, he called on tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday I didn't pick only for
brother to send this message on what's app this morning to me, pls when
did company start disturbing people to come for interview? Abi na
force?
