Take Care With Job Ads
ALLOW me to express myself in your daily newspaper.
On 21 May 2004, page B6, there was an international job
advertisement in The Namibian newspaper stating Genesis
Corporarion, Now recruiting.
International English Teaching Appointments, teach English in
Japan and Korea.
Send Resume/CV to: gptzy@webmail.co.za I would like to warn the
public not to apply or reply to this job advertisement, as they are
very dangerous and risky.
I was almost a victim of this notorious scam, I applied the
advertised position and they sent me a confirmation letter with
exorbitant salary and benefits and I was informed that they need
teachers to commence immediately in Japan.
From the letter of confirmation I was referred to contact the
e-mail address maritime@japan.com for applying for Occupational
Maritime Environmental, Health and Safety at Sea Certification
(OMEHSS Certification), which apparently if you do not have one
then you can't occupy the advertised job and you have to pay
U$130.00 to acquire this certificate, and sit for an online
examination for four modules and if you pass the exam then they
will arrange for me to go and work in Japan with my family.
I then contacted my legal adviser and he went through these
letters and found out that there is no truth in all the
correspondence, all the contact details, such as telephone and
faxes does not exist, the e-mail address is South African
based.
I was asked to deposit U$130.00 in an individual bank account at
ABSA Bank, and the individual bears a Nigerian surname which
clearly reveals that this is a mere scam to get money from
people.
This scammmers are known as 419 in Nigeria.
Briefly, as a concerned citizen I would like to caution my
fellow countrymen and women not to apply for jobs that do not have
adequate addresses such as telephone and fax numbers as well as
postal addresses.
E-mail addresses cannot be trusted as scammers are prior
suspects of using e-mail address to commit fraud.
If you would like to know more about scam letters and how to
avoid becoming a scam victim, you can check in at www.Google.com.na

Coalition website.
