I received a email regarding employment offer from Nigeria, I am not sure if its legal and true? Pls. advice.?


The offer is very attractive, they will give me $ 21,000.00 with good fringe benefits. After I send my CV, after 2 days they reply with Employment Offer and Contract but I have to undergo with Nigeria Immigration to process my visa, work permit etc. Based on the agreement, I have to pay first all the expenses for the visa, work permit & ticket then I will reimburse later upon my arrival in Nigeria. What do you think I have to grab it and try my luck but I have to shoulder all the expenses first & what assurance if it is illegal?

DELETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I'm 99.999999999% sure this is a HOAX!!!!!

They will steal your money and leave you pennyless.

RUN AWAY FROM THIS.

EDIT: In 20 minutes, 30 other people around the world believe this is a SCAM..........enough said.

it's a big giant scam. It costs these people next to nothing to send out the emails, and it's worth it if even one fool falls for it and sends them money.

if you have nothing better to do with your money, you can send it to me.

If it comes from Nigeria it's a scam!

it will be a load of cr*p, a scam trying to get money out of you
its quite common

Don't. Dangerous.

I would not believe anything that came from Nigeria. They are very well known for their scams. They will take your money and not reimburse you.

Why that just sounds perfect... you go ahead and pay all the expenses they ask.. go into debt if you have to.. but don't let this great opportunity go to waste. Nigerians are so well known for their honesty you can trust them on this one.. sounds great.

ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID? Haven't you read all the warning about the Nigerian SCAMS on the Internet... that guy offering you the job is not wearing shoes and sitting in an interenet cafe looking for really STUPID PEOPLE to make his great 'offer' to.

It's a rip off!!!!

SPAM!!!

These false spams by Africans. They offer such attractive job ask to process with Immigration mentioned which is some of their cheating friend. Some they claim to process and ask money to transfer of paper. Do not even read that and avoid those bastardly natured cheats. Do not give them any information about you, your phones and accounts.

Run !! Run as fast as you can they are scamming you!!! Next you will need to send money for something and you will never see it again and don't give your bank information or credit card information

Of course it's illegal!

Nigerian get rich quick schemes are notorious internet scams. You send them a bunch of processing fees and never hear from them again.

Would any legit employer solicit this way? BTW, $21K plus bennies is more or less the poverty line in the US.

i am 99% sure from past experience, it is not true, and u should deleate it now if you want a penny left to your name by christmas.

1000% Bull S**t It is a scam the next thing they want is you to send air fare or something like that -- Thats the last you will see of them -- Unless you keep sending money --
Rip It Up NOW !!!!!

That doesn't sound legit at all. You should research this. If they want you to work for them you should not have any out of pocket expenses. Be careful.

Dont trust anything coming from that place. It is a crooked country and I think EVERYONE is corrupt there. Not even western union well send money there.
It is a con......They just wont your money.....Never trust anything from them especially if they ask for money 1st.....They have a lot of email scams going on....That is how they make there money there.

NIGERIA + too good to be true = SCAM!!

Nigeria....they're good for scams.

They said: bird in a hand better then ten on the tree...

Niegeria is not a stable contry...nowadays there is a sectarian conflict...

There really is a sucker born every minute, isn't there? Look, no offense, but you're exactly the kind of person these scam artists look for. They thrive on your gullibility. Go find a real job.

Any e-mail referring to AFRICA, NIGERIA and MONEY is a SCAM. Delete it, and if possible report as spam to your e-mail provider and ISP.

Make it a great day!

its is definitely a fraud. They will steal your money and will leave you pennyless, bankrupted.
Get more information about frauds like this on (It is not a joke, I also goto this website to read about these things):

Nothing coming out of Nigeria is legit. I get offers like that all the time usually some supposed lawyer who is trying to get money out of the country. This work permit thing is a new angle. The FBI have tried but there's no way they can keep up with the people who are doing this Internet swindling. They never get caught and just move on and start over. They did a story about it on 60 Minutes. Do not get involved in any way. Mark as spam and delete.
.

This is a fraudulent offer, i will advice you not to go for it because if it is a legitimate offer, the company will bear all the expenses necessary for your employment. This is a new means of defrauding innocent people of their hard earned money. It is illegal.

No no no! Why would u need 2 ask...........
