Job scams are not new in Nigeria. There are lots of malicious individuals out there who setup various avenues like fake companies, fake recruitment exercises just to exploit gullible job seekers.
Today, a job seeker on my BBM list pinged to ask me if I have any idea about Givon Petroleum. They sent her an SMS inviting her for an aptitude test. I quickly cranked up my web browser and looked it up. As the website loaded, I made some observations.
It's actually a blog running on blogger (this might sound a bit technical for some people).
The pictures on the website of a supposed international oil and gas company are the crappiest pictures I've ever seen in the history of the internet.
The website content is nothing to write home about. In fact everything about Givon Petroleum was unprofessional and tacky.
On their Career Page, I observed the job vacancies which were apparently posted sometime ago. This, on its own looked suspicious to me.
Finally, I jumped to the Shortlisted Page which is a page she was asked to visit via the SMS sent to her. After going through the page, my questions are as follows:
