Hi all


Got few calls and few emails from the following named company for a job opportunity in NZ


Kindly help me to find this is real or fake


Andrew Young

INFRATIL NZ

PO Box 320, 5 Market Lane

Wellington 6140

Pls help


Many thanks

What type of job.

Did you apply for a job with them.


Infratil is a financial investment company.


Let us know what the offer letter says.


If they ask for you to pay any money for anything, then it is a scam.

sadeesha fernando

Many thanks for the reply


job offer came to my husband and it’s for the internal audit manager (my husband’s career)

he can’t remember applying there.


and we got the offer letter today and there is no any money request yet. They have quoted total NZD 18000 per month after taxes and it’s a normal offer letter


they have asked to sign it and send them to processing further

also they require,

  • scan copy of original passport
  • certificate copies
  • photos


the doubt is we got only one short interview phone call and it was just to ask about his experience for few minutes

we are in a doubt is it this much easy to get a job from newzealand without having a proper interview procedure


what do you think about this pls


thanks in advance

Hi ,

I am Mudra

My husband received the same letter from the same company and same salary but for the position of Finance manager. I am very confused too because they did not conduct interview. I can't understand if it is fake or genuine

Seraj Ahmad

Hi sadeesha!


I too have received couple of mail regarding the position Accounts and Finance.


I have replied them with the application form duly filled from my end.


They are further processing and maybe screening. I will update you on this once I have any further communication with them. Please do inform in case you also have any further update.


Thanks...

Hello all,


But if no proper interview was conducted, it's most probably a scam....


Perhaps they are going to ask for money later on.

Hello Everyone,


My husband got the same offer letter from same company infraril NZ and same designation even same 18000NZD so I search in Google and saw all your msg. Thank God it's save us against scam.


Thanking you.

Seraj Ahmad

@sadeesha fernando I have also got the offer letter with designation as Finance and Accounts Manager. Subsequently, have also received calls from a person claiming Andrew. Let's hope is not fake as they didn't ask for any single penny. Also they said they will soon start process of immigration from NZ government and once they are done they will contact me with further communication.

Hi, I'm living in New Zealand, and am a Kiwi by birth (New Zealander). I'll help where possible. If the company is asking for fees, don't pay. Work visas/sponsorship are covered by the employer. It is not practice for companies to request funds. Does he say which company he represents or any further details. I can check for you if you like.

It is a scam

Seraj Ahmad

Fake, Fake and Fake . Do not put your single penny as I have confirmed and verified from the company. They have not issued any offer letter from the company and rather seems like a scamster

Bellulli Vijayakumar

Dear all if you recived an offer letter from Andrew Young

INFRATIL NZ

PO Box 320, 5 Market Lane

Wellington 6140


It is totally fake  and you can check the same in Company website under scam alert.

Sreenatha Reddy MA

Yes madam

Arran Hunt

Another quick note is that, in NZ, we talk about either hourly pay or annual salary (IT professionals may, on occasion, talk about weekly rate, but very rare). Any pay discussed as the monthly pay just isn't the NZ way, so straight away says scam.


It should always be an hourly rate or annual.

Fred

Scammers get contact details because people post them - Don't

I have. They share a telephone number with Felin oil and gas, BP, and a bunch of other companies.


I'll bet you think the random email asking for cash is a real job offer.


Now to a discussion about how your rubbish educational system failed you and thousands of your countrymen.
