You can help some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot help those who choose not to accept help.

Hello all, I´m new here.

I received a job offer from SHISHANE OIL COMPANY, with a very good conditions. I made a contact (more than 2 messages) with the email informed and received different anwsers (looks like that somebody is tipping message - not "robots").

Later I made a contact with the email informed on the SHISHANE web site asking if the emails that I received and again I received a message with confimation that it´s TRUE.

According to the instructions, I have to made a contact with a office - JOAN CLAY TRAVELS for Visa process.

But, nobody ask me nothing, nobody phone me, no interviews, no skype call, nothing...

I think that this is SCAM...

Anybody here know something about this company???

Cheers

If it is, the building they claim as their headquarters is actually the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

Many other photos are taken from

How much did they ask for to secure work permits/whatever?

The ship they claim as theirs is Vietnamese

As a rule of thumb if something is too good to be true, normally it is NEVER true.
Enjoy your country, your family, friends and keep on trying for a genuine opportunity.

The contents of the contract they've attached is too good to be true and I'm wondering if any of you has been contacted too.

Looks suspicious, especially with the @yandex e-mail account and the street address different from the firm's address on their website. If I were you, I would contact the company directly through their website to check.

Jace Sam

Per the contract they sent, company is willing to pay 27K dollars in salaries and financial benefits(I've summed up all the numbers in the contract🤔).

However, for the processing of the foreigner worker certificate (FWC), I have to pay for it.

I would be stupid enough to pay for it knowing its already a small fortune where I come from and lose the money only to find out I've been scammed.

Companies usually prefer to seek services from manpower pooling agencies in my country and job orders are monitored by the gov't.

Nice try but I think I'll pass.

Anyone can say this is fake or genuine?
I also got same like this job offer!

Scammers will always find victims because people don't help themselves by reading what's in front of them.

Given there's a thread on this but nobody seems to be reading the very clear evidence within it, I see where the phase, "A fool and his money are soon parted" comes from.
Even Thomas Tusser wouldn't have expected what we're seeing here.

A long email with only one sentence that matters.
If they ask for money, it's a scam

That's the number one rule

Any job offer that asks you for money is a scam.

Hi, i recieved a job offer from Astir Logistics,, uskudar, Turkey, now they have instructed me to pay USD 1090 to obtain a foreign workers certificate once it is obtained the company will refund the amount, i applied through [link under review]  advice me if it is legitimate

Fred

Houses are built using bricks or other hard materials with an IQ of zero or not much higher.


Scammers don't try to get money from bricks because solid objects have neither email addresses nor Whatsapp numbers.

Fred

I'm assured bricks are unable to read this thread so perhaps the scam job criminals are in with a chance
