There was an advert on the Daily Nation of yesterday the 8/12/2010 at the classified page under the section 'WANTED' which states that if u r looking for a casual job at the airport sms your number to this number;0713799329.
Some genuine Kenyan job seekers smsed and today at noon they received this email but having gone through it, and seen previous warnings on this website, you can easily know it’s a scam based on the following reasons:
1.The company insists on paying ksh 500 before any interview. This should be the first indicator that the job is not genuine. We have said before that once an interviewer asks you for money tell them to deduct from your first salary. It is like a Mganga telling you he can make you Kshs. 1,000,000 but you have to pay Kshs. 5,000. Tell him to deduct and give you the rest.
2. Why pay for an interview for a job you might not get due to statics issue.
3. Genuine jobs don’t ask for cash
4.There isn’t any referral person just in case of anything.2. Why pay for an interview for a job you might not get due to statics issue.
3. Genuine jobs don’t ask for cash
5. Then they are saying a casual for 9 months whose dues won’t be taxed!!!!!!!
We received this email from one of our readers. Here is an extract of the email they will send you. Please don’t pay.
All the best from HCC in your job search.
