About
Welcome, this forum is dedicated to the prevention of innocent job seekers falling victim to EMPLOYMENT SCAMS, also know as job scams, they are a form of advance fee fraud scamming where certain unscrupulous persons posing as recruiters and/or employers offer attractive employment opportunities which require the job seeker to pay them money in advance, usually under the guise of work visas, travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses.

The scams typically involve lucrative offers of employment in Europe, the Middle East, West Africa, or South Africa with money demanded to be paid to an agency or travel agent for visas or travel costs. These companies often present themselves with official looking websites and documentation. Once the victim has paid the advanced fees for employment, the business either declines employment or ceases operating as soon as the transfer is finalized.

This type of scam has become more and more frequent recently due to the popularity of Nigerian 419 scams, and growing suspicion towards e-mails offering to transfer money from bank accounts, especially those originating in Africa. Unlike 419 scams, job scams tend to mostly target persons looking for employment in other nations such as hopeful immigrants or contractors and operate out of nations with high immigrant and foreign employment rates.

It is advisable to be wary of any job offerings which arrive in e-mail unsolicited and eventually require anyone to pay a fee in advance, particularly if the fee is asked to be paid through a financial services company such as Western Union, or if one must pay the amount to a bank or person in a third country (especially a West African nation) that is suspiciously unrelated to either party. Most reputable companies and/or agencies will absorb these costs themselves if they are the ones seeking the employee.

All the companies listed in this forum are know to be bogus. They often use Yahoo or other FREE e-mail addresses so if you are suspicious about an e-mail you have received, try entering the company name, e-mail address(s) etc. into the search box bellow this text to see if this has been reported by someone else.

If you cannot find any details of the suspect company by searching for it, please let us know by posting a NEW TOPIC with the fraudulent company name in the SUBJECT LINE together with a brief description of the company in the bigger text box.

Your post will be reviewed and approved by a moderator of this site ASAP.

FieldPetro Group Ireland SCAM or not?

I have been going through this employment process with a Dr. Greg Martins as HR Department with FieldPetro Group Ireland. I have now recieved a letter stating that i am CONDITIONALLY EMPLOYED with this company and suppose to start work on AUG, 27 of this Year and is requesting me to go get a Seaman's Passport (what I understand that it is the same thing as my Regular Passport) and a UK OFFSHORE WORKER's PERMIT and I have to go through a agency called the GENESIS AGENCY to obtain both I have not sent any money yet and right off the bat asked what is this going to cost me? He replied no money is needed to gain employment with his company. They have a la-git web address. Went through a SCAM with Nigeria TECHNIP GROUPS about a year ago and don't know if i want to even bother. Especially getting my hopes up again.

IT IS DEFINITELY A SCAM!

They seem like a very well established scam actually. The only thing giving it away are:

-Bad English grammar, incorrect spelling and ... Unnecessary spacing between words.

-Address that's incorrectly written or doesn't exist.

Dubline is not a place. Dublin is however.
54 lesson park does not exist. 54 leeson park does and it's the address of the leeson hotel in dublin according to google maps. I don't see a company called fieldpetro there...

It helps to copy and paste their physical address into http://maps.google.com. If you get corrected for nearly every word or no such place exists... chances are you are being conned.

The scariest part of it all is that if they don't want any money in advance and they are a fake company, they most likely have the intention of kidnapping and holding people for ransom.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_fraud#Kidnapping

If they convince you to get over there at your own expense without you paying them in advance and without them paying for your ticket/expenses etc. that's what they usually look forward to.

It's important to know job scams so you don't lose any money.. or your life to it.
