"RIV OIL NIGERIA PLC" Nigeria job scam (recruitment agencies/immigration scams)
The name "RIV OIL NIGERIA PLC" (rivoil.com) is used in several job recruitment / employment scams. A Google search finds no legitimate hits on the name, just scam-related material.The scammers will offer well-paid jobs, then tell you you've been accepted and you need to get in touch with some immigration official or lawyer or travel agent, who will tell you that you need to send cash to pay for visa processing. In reality visas are always issued by the embassy in your country, not by officials in the employer's country. Any "immigration" email address used in these "RIV OIL NIGERIA PLC" offers is fake!
Many visitors to Scam-O-Matic website use it to verify job offers about which they have suspicions. In many cases the fraudulent job offers clear bear the handwriting of the same criminals, even though offers range from oil industry jobs to hospitals and banks and the offers are for Nigeria, Benin and even the UK. These diverse employment offers match in many minor details, as criminals work from the same basic formats.
Many of the jobs advertised were in the oil industry, because this happens to be Nigeria's biggest industry, so many scammers are familiar with it. The objective of such job offers is to trick job seekers into paying advance fees (supposedly for immigration/work visas, air fares and other expenses). These usually amount to more than a thousand dollars and are demanded to be paid by Western Union wire transfer.
Once the job offer turns out to be fake, the recipient of the payment can no longer be traced. Therefore don't send money and don't quit your current job. If the offer sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. If you have any doubt, ask the Scam-O-Matic, visit the Scamwarners forum or ask in expatriate / oil industry forums where people share similar experiences.
If you receive online job offers, consider the following:
- Does the email or job posting direct you to contact an email address that uses a free webmailer (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) where anyone can create email addresses?
- Does the recruiter have a website that matches the domain of the email address? For an email address like name@example.com there should be a website like http://www.example.com and it should be a recruiting company.
- Does the company provide a postal address, telephone and fax number?
- If they use their own company domain for email and/or a website, check the domain creation date using a Whois form. Be suspicicious if the domain is only a few months old or not registered in the name of the company.
- Can you independently verify the postal addresses and phone numbers on a Google search?
- Are the conditions too favourable ($30,000 per month salary, five star hotel accomodation, first class air tickets)?
- Are you told to contact an immigration officer in the country where the job is offered, instead of that country's embassy in your country as is usual?
- Are you told to send cash by Western Union or MoneyGram (which are untraceable) or to a bank account with an unrelated account holder or in an unrelated country?
- If you paste all the email received from a recruiter / company / immigration official into www.scamomatic.com, does it recognize it as a known scam?
