Recruitment Scams: A Friendly Advise to Mr Moderator

There have been quite a handful of red flags popping up all over this job site for weeks. From scammers employing well established brand names to scam unsuspecting individuals. You need to stop all these unpleasantness,right now before they drag your name in the mud. You are an established brand too,and you have worked so had to acquire so much social capital. I hate to see it ruined by a handful of bad eggs. A neighbour of mine who works in the media unit of a company mentioned by a scammer on your site,is considering publishing a disclaimer in the Guardian,stating that any job recruitment linked to his company's name on Naijahotjobs is a scam. I know some companies may be considering this line of action too. The ball is in your court,block this people now!....Mr Moderator.

Motion seconded by me! On point.

Well said poster. Moderators pls work on this.

Well said!!! U av d right to Mr Moderator...it's your business, your life, don't look at it ruined!!!

All these zingy,oxygen and co should be stopped. All those posting jobs in Uk should also be blocked. There is a way the admin. Can do it. Any job that is to be posted will be verified before being posted on d main page of Nhj. Thats how its been done on blogs. The admin/moderators should help do these please

Am really touched by this ur last comment. I never knew ur contributions on this site were just social service. Thank God for ur G??d heart n I pray He will reward ur G??d dealings. Thanks for ur patriotism.

Shout Out to flowerchild, musco,Mr K and everyother person reading this, I think flowerchild made a right observation, curbing this unscrupulous elements or scammers as u may call it is a collective or joint effort by everyone of us, quit often I see people commenting on some post, alerting pple that the job post is a scam and pple shouldnt fall victim, I think this is also a good antics, there was a time, a user was posting pix and site here, I sent a mail to the administor of the site, laying my complains and in less that 24hrs, the guys profile was blocked and I got a thank you mail and that also I shouldnt hesitate to let them know if any such occurs again.. so in summary I think we have to help ourselves when it comes to this scams by taking a que from the actions Me, Musco and every other person that raises alarm when scam posts are seen. Thank You.

* pix and sites*.... some text missing

Pls Musco, I trust u for real. U guys shd nt only delete bt shd check any new trend before people will start checking on it, is becoming somtin else, 60% of d jobs in all scams. Pls

I gues the admin is preventing me from using my choice of word.. Naked pix and video

I guess the admin is preventing me from using the word NUD* pix and video

@Musco: I'm directing that to the owner of this forum please and not you ooooo, so sorry 4 any misunderstanding that must av caused. I mean it's d owner's personal biz and he shldn't watch it get spoiled. Tnx Musco always!!!

Very Correct!

The rate of scam posts here is very alarming as well as disturbing. Many users here do not have an idea of the number of scam posts being deleted on daily basis!
I know quite a number of people who have abandoned this site because of "SCAM POSTS".
However, we'll not rest on our oars in ensuring that scam posts and other related posts are handled accordingly on this site!

Am trying my best here, jst dat i dnt hv d power to ban block. If d admin or owner kan gv us power 2 block,then i wunt waste tym in doing so. These ppl are so mean,u delete dia posts,they kip on postn more. Am besyds, am nt always here. Coz i hv oda tins am doing. U all plz shld join and tel d owner 2 gv d mods d power 2 ban since hes nt always here to do dat. Lol.

I also think few honourable members should be made moderators, I know many members who refresh this page every minute to see new updates, these members should be made moderators.

@musco, i love you(brodaly luv ni o), and wished i had met u in person(at VST corprate dat u dint come). U inspire me(made me start msc) a lot n it keeps me goin, and im sure u inspire a lot of us here too. Mr head of admin, pls give musco d power to ban these guys we trust him a lot, and if u nid upto 500 votes to giv d power im sure he wld get it, cos il b d first to vote him other too pls vote him even if it myt nt make a difference. Let me even create a thread for dat now sef.

I am delighted that this issue is being discussed with a view to finding solutions to this mess. I am also grateful to the moderators, especially our own Oga Musco for the great works they've been doing.

However, there is a little thing I want to chip in. Please whilst u guys are at it, dont target the guys opening new threads only. I personally find it more annoying when a post I was following gets highlighted and I click with the hope that someone has made a useful contribution, only to go find that a clown had captured the popularity of such thread for his own useless benefit. Im sure some of us have experienced it. Believe me, if u get to click 5 of those in a day, u may just start considering signing off NHJ like most people have done already.

NHJ is a really beautiful initiative and should not be allowed to go down the drain.

On a different subject now, I need to mail the administrator of this site asap to start paying my honorable Oga Muscoe and his team for this great work. Truth be told, they would be no NHJ without them and its only fair that whatever cake NHJ bakes should be shared among them all, or abi wetin una think???;)

@ Baba Musco, no doubt u and some other mods r doing great jobs here. I commend u guys kip it up. @all, dis fight is our fight. We can't afford to have dis great forum hijacked by scammers. We should report any scam post and d poster to d moderators as soon as we notice it for necessary actions. @able admin, this is a wake-up call to U. As a matter of urgency, u r to declare state of emergency on the activities of the scammers in this honorable house. I am of the opinion u get a helping hands by giving these our able mods d power to block any user confirmed to be part of this can ca worm trying to make dis site scamming ground. Make more members mods (though not so much for professionalism sake) so we together can face this battle and win. Do some other consultations and make ur final decision asap! I so submit!
