A Job Scam Case Study: Biotech Oil Nigeria or how to fool people

Posted on June 26th, 2007 by oiloffmar2

Yes, another lovely day at work, other tens of emails to take care of, and, unfortunately, another set of emails coming from people having received “job offers” from Biotech Oil Nigeria. WOW! It seems the guys at Biotech Oil Nigeria are really full of “projects”.

Unfortunately for them, long time ago Oil Offshore Marine has determined that they are job scammers, and we posted here information about them.

Case Study follows:
1. If you didn’t know, Biotech Oil Nigeria is THE most powerful and the richest company in the world. Why? Read this: “2.1 BIOTECH OIL shall pay Employees on satisfactory performance of the services the sum USD 43,240 (Forty Three Thousand Two Hundred and Forty Dollars only) monthly or Euros equivalent depending on employeeâ€™s home country.”
2. Biotech Oil Nigeria offers employment without any formal interview, be it in person or by telephone. Now that’s really cool!
3. “Employer for each intercontinental trip shall pay $5,580.00 flat rate travel/entertainment allowance to employee” - wow, now that’s the ideal job!
4. Good. So now let’s see www.biotechoilng.net - it probably is a fantastic website, with lots of information.
5. Oops. A Big Oops. www.biotechoilng.net is not available, “the Web site has been suspended for billing or abuse reasons”. Some time ago, the website did exist, but was poor in information and design.

We’ve tried to have this Case Study in a funny format. Hopefully you enjoyed it.
Now to get to the serious side: Biotech Oil Nigeria, www.biotechoilng.net, info@biotechoilng.net, career@biotechoil.net - these are all scams, thus make sure you don’t even reply to them if you get an email in your inbox. Go here for an updated check on job scammers and fake companies.
