A LIST OF FAKE COMPANIES YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR
Only job seekers or those who have had to search for a job at any point in their life (in Nigeria) will understand the frustration that comes after the ephemeral joy of receiving interview notice that turned out to be some GNLD or MLM crap or even worse, turned out to be kidnappers or just pure scam.
One of our projects at Staybusy is focused on reducing the rate at which Nigerians fall prey to these scammers.
isthisarealjob.com is a “wiki” of fake / real interview messages. All you have to do is post the interview message you got, we’ll do all necessary verification for you and let you know if its authentic or not.
Based on our research so far, the listed companies below are fake, if you do get an invite from them, don’t go.
1. Dynamic Group and Neo life
An aggrieved user reports his experience:
Dynamic Group, 32 olufemi street, off ogunlana drive, surulere Lagos state and Neo life beside visafone house challenge-molete Ibadan Oyo state, these two companies or what they call themselves, they are original scammers. They will send interview message to u, if u get there, they will b telling u another thing, Dynamic group will say bring #16000 so they can help u to become a millionaire, Neo life their own na just #16500. If u received from them pls don’t go ooo.

If anyone gets invites from Manteledox Logistics Ltd. which States as follows;
MANTLEDOX LOGISTICS LTD INVITES YOU FOR A JOB BRIEFING / TEST BY …
Don’t waste your time, they are into GNLD
4. EBT is fake!!!
Contrary to the name, Esther Breakthrough (EBT), would give you everything else but a ‘breakthrough’. They used to be somewhere around Ojuelegba in surulere. You will be made to pay a sum only to be given a fake employment letter. Beware!!
5. O’neal Incorporated
This corporation’s name doesn’t come up on a search on the C.A.C website. They claim to be a consulting firm with experience in healthcare management and human resource management but they’re a multi-level marketing outfit and will try to coax you into supplying products with promises of huge financial rewards.
