Were you billed 100 naira for the first text you sent?. Others were. So if you are being asked to send another text, remember you will get billed. Please apply your heart to wisdom.
They are surely perfecting this Scam. Caveat Emptor!
Sorry house but this looks like a SCAM to me. Why send a txt that costs N100 to a short code? Pls don't let us be clouded with our desperate thot of landing a job. I can only see innocent job seekers been extorted. Remember short code numbers are only for commercial use. A word is enough for the wise.
its a scam,they need more money from the poor applicants
in my case, i saw the advert on the papers and decided to send the text (though i was not charged N100 but my friends that did it were charged that amount) hoping to be contacted in two weeks time as they claimed. but up till now, i am yet to be called for anything.
i think these guys are SCAMS......LET'S BE CAREFUL!
These guys are fraudulent! Please do not honour that message.
I sent a txt earlier on only to get this diz mornin:universal invites u to a test in lagos on 24/10/09.Txt skype*dsired positn*email to 35058.Time n venue wil b sent. Pls house,is diz4real or dem jst want chop another of my 100 naira?
I GOT A MSG TOO O FROM UNIVERSAL TELLING 2 COME 4 A TEST. House what is going on
Universal invites you to a test in Lagos on 24/10/2009. Text skype*desired postion *email to 35058.Time and venue will be sent.Applications are still being received.
Pls lets endeavor to ignore this scammers,they removed 100naira the last time we appliedand this is another opporunity to extort another 100naira. After writing the test if you want to know your result,you will still have to pay 100naira and if you want to go for 2stages of interview expect to spend another 200naira.
Its a ruse! Another scam from Naija.
I got the same message too, however if I may ask, how glad will you be if you save the 100 naira and realise later that it is all a scam and what will you do if you realise the gain of 100naira makes you loose a great job opportunity? we have to take take-able risks because life and success is all about succeeding in a venture.
