I got an job offer from a company in Nigeria - how can I confirm its reliabilty as I am working in UAE?

Question

I understand there is no embassy / consulate in UAE / Dubai in particular. please advise?

Answer 1

If the offer is from Nigeria, you should be more cautious before proceeding.  Most of the issues from Nigeria are related to scams.  Since there is no Nigerian embassy/consulate in UAE, I would suggest you to contact the nearest embassy located in Kuwait to authenticate the documents (if any you have received) or to check the reliability of the company.  Find the address details of Nigerian embassy in Kuwait as mentioned below:

Embassy of Nigeria,

Surra, Bolck No. 1 Street

No. 14, Villa No. 24

Kuwait

Postal : P. O. Box 6432 Hawalli

Postal Code : 32039

Kuwait

Phone : [phone]

Fax :      [phone]

Try your best, don't loose your money.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Did you actually APPLY for the job?  Do you have to send money to secure the position?  Do they need your bank details before you start?

Mates work in Abjua....unless you want to work in a cess pit and eat dog for lunch I'd stay where you are.

Answer 3

Nigeria? What kind of job and what kind of offer? You have to watch out for scammers which almost all of them are from Nigeria.

Answer 4

Through the embassy of Nigeria in UAE, you can at least verify credentials of the company offering you the job or better search on net for its subsidiaries and try to contact or the Nigerian Government itself.

Answer 5

I do hope that you haven't given any private information to these people in Nigeria. Please don't say you have given your bank details etc.

These people out there will rob you blind.

Nigeria, is renowned for scams.
