DYNO AVIATION

Hello everybody I need your help. anyone know something about this company? I've received today the employment letter and contract but I'm scared about this, I think it's a fake and they are doing a fraud.
Dyno Aviation
they asked to me to send a payment of 350$ for the visa documentation, but looking in in internet there is something strange. Please help me to understand if it's true or not
Thanks a lot

DYNO AVIATION

The scam warning on the website says it all! No employer will require you to pay a fee up front for documentation etc and if they do they are probably not worth working for or even consider working for!

scam. easily spotted at that. do not pay them a cent!

tell them, that standard contract terms are that they pay for your visa and air travel ticket/accomodation before you leave your home country. and you will not accept until they do. that usually shuts them up

DYNO AVIATION IS A 419 SCAM

Check the NCAA website, it confirms that the requests of the type DYNO make are a well known 419 scam.

The same telephone number has been used in previous scams, and of course the website was registered about 1 day before the ad was placed with flightglobal.


DO NOT GIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIS COMPANY. DO NOT PROVIDE ANY MONEY TO THEM. DO NOT RESPOND TO ANY NIGERIAN COMPANY ADVERTS WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION PROIR TO ASCERTAINING THEY IN FACT EXIST. CONTACT NCAA IF IN DOUBT AS TO VERACITY OF A COMPANY THAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO PROVIDE SENSITIVE SECURITY DETAILS TO

Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority


Whois Lookup | Domain Availability - Registration Information

The company is not registered in Nigeria which is a bit of a give away... check the yellow pages, doesn't exist.
The related travel agency is not registered in Nigeria...


This scam is not merely a 419 it is also a security risk to the industry.

extent of scam...

Have requested NCAA to add this companies name to their site comment on scams, due to the security sensitivity.

wonders never really ends

Please guys never pay or give any one your information or money. Its the responsibility of the HR of any company to bring you here and Even prepare yall for the NCAA license conversion.
I have seen folks who could not pass the conversion after 3 attempt and were send back to their home country. With airlines bearing all the cost
Be warned

Really? You really ask that question? In a thread that is giving you the very answer you seek?

Think man, you're supposed to be an intelligent human being to fly a plane, so think.

Guys seriously I gave these fake Dyno company a hard time. the moment i got the email with the very attractive salary on PA31 which is a better salary than 100 of airlines for starting pilots I knew its fake.

I told them that I'm very happy for the great news but I can pay you the money in person as I'm willing to travel in Nigeria and meet you in person, Cut story short.(I wasn't serious about that idea)

its an obvious scam you can see a number of grammar mistakes, no info for licence conversion etc.

Just be careful boys there is another company sending pilots similar emails from Kenya

I've just received a pre-contract where they explaine to me all the point, salary, travel insurance, and everything else. They said contract of 2 years at 5000$ for month. No info about which plane. Of course I was in doubt from the beginning, and I've sent all the documents that I've received from them direclty to NCAA. I'm waiting an answer from them. At the same time I've asked to DYNO AVIATION LIMITED, to send to me all the certificate of the company, airframe and all this stuff....of course no answer back.

SCAM, of course.

Hello Folks,
This Dyno Aviation could send me an Application Form, that I´ve printed, filled and sent back. Then they sent me two documents: Contract Agreement and Employment Letter. These offering a very attractive salary, allowances, paid vacation, over time etc. But, no information about Aircraft Type and licence validation. I was required to contact a supposed Travel Agency to state a "Local Delegate". I´ve done that and I´ve received an e-mail answer requiring me to pay 350 USD as 25% travel expenses in advance. I´ve questioned about this amount being deduced from the two salaries that should be payed in advance too. But the answer was: "The money can´t be deducted from your salary because the company has not yet approved the payment of your salary as this will only be approved as soon as your permit documents are ready."
So, I´ve answered once again: "It is a very complicated situation, because there is no warranty about this 350 USD amount being reimbursed even if my Nigerian residence and work permit documents couldn´t be emitted for any reason.
Is there any other way to proceed, so that I could be protected from this risk?"
And the last e-mail I´ve received was:
" There is no other way to proceed because we cannot go against the company's operations policy."
At Last, I´ve sent a new mail asking:
"As there is no other way to proceed, I want more information about the position. Could you clarify me?
1. I´m being hired as a Pilot. So, what kind of aircraft I´m going to fly?
2. I would like to see the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority Certificate of Dyno Aviation, so as the company's fleet, registration of the company, ultimately, I want documents from the company that I could rely and trust, so I would be relaxed about the risk of paying this 350 USD amount."
I´m waiting an answer.

I hope I´ve helped some possible victims.
Nice flights!
