THEN THESE OFFENDERS SENT THE NEXT EMAIL:

May I apologize for the slight delay in response to your mail it was nothing deliberate as I was in the meeting with the G.M.D and some other directors for Supply of Mud Pumps and Butterfly Valves.

Concerning the issues you raised which are understandable given your circumstances. The Head Office is currently Recruiting Expatriate for the international activities of the company's fleet of Mobile Drilling Units in Angola and Nigeria for now. Congratulation if you are offered an employment in any of our International branches I will advice you proceed with what is necessary to secure your employment without hesitation.

I appreciate your sceptism you got an employment offer where you may not be very familiar with, it does not mean that you cannot legitimately work with Kwest-Offshore in Africa. I can understand from the standpoint of an outsider one can get confused from too many information, Mention Nigeria and Angola the next thing is fraud but doesn't mean nothing good comes out from there. There are a lot of expatriates in Nigeria doing well and taking good advantage of the goodness.

I have taken this time to explain these things to you because I Owen you explanations and you needed to confirm the authenticity of the offer. Otherwise I would have taken strong exceptions with your insinuations. On a personal note, do hold me responsible on this matter if any thing goes wrong and remember to give me all the credits at the end of the day. And I sure you nothing will go wrong. Your employment is genuine.

We a dedicated workers our moral and integrity are quite essential to us. I am afraid the HR Department may not wait indefinitely for you they need to move this process forward.

Thank you.

Dear Carlos,

Thank you very much for your enquiry. I am enclosing all the information about the company you mentioned in your email: Kwest-Offshore Ltd. I hope this will prove useful for you.

All limited liability companies in the UK must be registered only with the Companies House. Unfortunately the company of your interest is NOT registered there either (you can use the link below to double check yourself if the company is registered or not)

http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/5793c3a99aadc344ab795ed124098973/wcframe?name=accessCompanyInfo

If the firm is a limited liability company, they should be able to provide you with their registration number which in the format of 8 digits.

I also checked a database to which we subscribe called Fame. It provides detailed information about UK and Irish companies. Unfortunately, the company does not appear on this database either.

THEN THESE SCAMMERS SENT ME THE NEXT EMAIL WHERE THEY ASK MONEY:

Dear Sir,

RE: CERTIFICATE

Concerning the Expatriate Oil & Gas Clearance Certificate under Category (A) Please note it is Federal Government law concerning every expatriate that has an employment with Oil & Gas Sectors in Nigeria. The Expatriate must be accredited under its applicable category as a pre-requisites condition for participation in Oil & Gas Industry. The EOGC-Certificate is needed in principle to give your employment legal existence here. This is entirely Government Standard Regulatory Policy.

In addition, the EOGC-Certificate is needed to make an application to the Comptroller General Nigerian Immigration Service for Alien Card (CERPAC). This Card allows expatriate to live and work in Nigeria. The alien card is processed after EOGC-Certificate has been issued and presented to the Comptroller General of Nigerian Immigration Service.

Once the CERPAC application is approved the Immigration Service issues expatriate a green coloured non-transferable card, generally referred to as ? CERPAC'.

With the CERPAC approval from Comptroller General of Immigration, Kwest-Offshore Ltd will send your STR VISA to the Nigerian Embassy where the expatriate resides and requesting for (STR VISA) be granted immediately to the expatriate. So without having the Expatriate Oil & Gas Clearance Certificate (EOGCC) we can not send your Work Permit Approval, Residence Permit and Alien Card as well as STR VISA Permits to the Embassy.

The cost of EOGC-Certificate under Category (A) is US$900

The statutory fee is paid (Across the Counter) and Certificate issued immediately. Its one thing you wouldn't do again, the receipts of payment and Certificate will be sent to you with the Hard Copy of the Agreement by FedEx.

To make things quicker for you, you send Western Union quick collect to my secretary name:

THEN THESE OFFENDERS SENT ME THE NEXT DOCUMENTS :PASSENGER RECEIPT, BOADING PASS, VISA AND RESIDENCE PERMIT

Dear Mr. Carlos,

I was directed my director to forward to your attention the travel documents. Pleas kindly download the attachments.

Thanks for your co-operation.
Nwosu Joseph

THEN I WENT TO LUFTHANSA OFFICE IN BOGOTA TO CONFIRM THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOADING PASS AND PASSENGER RECEIPT, AFTER THEY REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS AND VERIFY THE INFORMATION, THEY TOLD ME THE NEXT:
NONE OF TWO DOCUMENTS WERE ISSUED BY LUTHANSA, YOU CAN CONFIRM THIS CALLING
TO LUTHANSA-BOGOTA AND ASK SPEAKING TO MRS ELIZABETH, CALL AT ++57 1
2966333.
THEN I SENT SEVERAL EMAILS TO THE NIGERIA IMMIGRATION SERVICES AND EMBASSIES OF NIGERIA IN THE WORLD, FOR VERIFY THE INFORMATION.

THEN THE EMBASSY SENT ME THE NEXT EMAIL:
To get visa to Nigeria you will have to apply at the nearest Nigerian Embassy. If you are granted visa, you will have to apply for residence permit when you have arrived in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country, not “Nigerian States”. The visa sticker is like the sticker they use for the Schengen countries, and totally differrent from which the Nigerian Embassies are issuing.

The Visa and the Residence Permit is false. DO NOT PAY ANYTHING. We suggest you to cut the contakt with these people.

THEREFORE ALL DOCUMENTS ABOVE SENT FOR THESE OFFENDER WERE FALSE, I VERIFIED WITH LUFTHANSA, NIGERIA INMIGRATION SERVICE AND EMBASSIES OF NIGERIA IN THE WORLD.

THEN THESE SCAMMERS SENT ME THE NEXT EMAIL:

RE: CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
Your enquiry concerning Expatriate Oil & Gas Clearance Certificate under Category (A) it's the Federal Government Policy that any expatriates who intend to work in Oil & Gas Sectors in Nigeria must have the Certificate. All expatriate must be accredited in various categories as a pre-requisites condition for participation in Oil & Gas Industry. This is a Standard Federal Regulatory Policy.
PLEASE VIEW THE COSTS OF CERTIFICATE:
The fees are payable to the Treasury Dept Board:
(A) Stamp duty and Documentation -$500.00
(B) EOGCC Quota Approval under Category (A) $400.00
TOTAL CHARGES: US$900.00
Fees are paid by Bank Cheques or Cash across the Counter to the Treasury Department Board and receipted for immediately. The Clearance Certificate is issued and it qualifies you as an expatriate to operate in Oil & Gas Sectors in Nigeria. The receipts of payment and the Original Certificate will be sent to you with the Hard Copy of the Agreement by DHL.
The Cheque is to be issued in favor of (Federal Government Fees Account) and to be marked as Clearance Certificate fee with your name written over leaf. Cheque mail to Office of the Director of Finance and Logistics, 8th Floor (R-DEPT) Towers, Herbert Macualay Way Central Business District Abuja Nigeria.
However, I will advice you based from my insider experience so far with posting Cheques here, the problem is that the postal system here is not very efficient and reliable, letters often get missing in transit particularly Cheques. When it gets here it takes days for it to be sorted out in the mailroom before it can get to the appropriate desk. With bureaucracy, it can lie unattended for upwards of weeks and when eventually get paid into the Fees Account, it takes up to 10 working days to 15 days to get cleared with the bank being a Foreign Bank and International Cheque. The account department will wait for 1 week for the bank to advice on their returns before the fund can be credited. While all these are going on no body attends to your application as the payment lacked adequate follow up.
To avoid this delay and to make things quicker for you, I will advice you make the payment via Western Union quick collect to Mr. NWOSU EZE JOSEPH he is my secretary. He will get the registration fee in Western Union Office here and obtain the Certificate immediately on your behalf. Western Union Quick collects from your country reaches here in seconds and this way your payment for Expatriate Oil & Gas Clearance Certificate and documentations will be processed immediately without wasting your time.
Once you make out the payment via western union today kindly advice the payment details immediately.
