Sosoliso Airlines Re-hiring?

I was recently targeted for what can only be called a semi-elaborate scam and believe there is now nothing posted relating to positions being offered on behalf of Sosoliso in Nigeria. Has anyone else spoken to a Caleb Bright for Aviation Services Nigeria?
I recently received a job offer and "contract" for Sosoliso offering 32k a year. Without delay, anyone who has received the same should look to the offer of services to obtain Work Permit's and Visa's for Nigeria at the cost of USD $475.
My enquiries stopped there but I would be interested to hear anything on the issue.

Nigeria

Several months ago a frind of mine received an "invitation" to flight attendant training by one of the other Nigerian Airlines... I forget which one... Anyhow, we checked into it and found that it was not legit....same thing though. Money for permits and visas!

Sosoliso in particular seem to be used as a scam quite regularly, quite often you can find at least one item in the offer that gives away the fact that it's a scam, such as in a previous example I've seen here the offer of a position on an aircraft type that the airline don't even operate or have any plans to do so.

(in addition to the fact that random email job offers for Nigerian organisations generally aren't going to be genuine )

Edit - I assume this was via email?

All via email! A few different "stages".

It didnt stand out as dodgey at first but the requirement to confirm Visa and Work Permit 4 weeks before arrival was a little strange. After a week he reccomended a colleague of his for help on the ground in Nigeria, and after sending him an email asking for details he asked for the "nonrefundable" cheque for 475 USD.

Funny stuff. I could imagine someone without experience getting done over.

SCAM

Huge Scam and so is Caleb!
He was offering me 28K a month and said they are operating A310.
The airline is grounded and I have sources within the country.
Stay clear of him, he sits in a internet cafe and sends out job invitations.
Try to contact the company, no answer. Not sure why the website is still up and running. I'm sure the company would still be flying if they didn't get grounded for saftey reasons.
