I feel jipped. I only got offered $9000 USD. I went through the same process, and I'm now at the point that they want me to contact GUARANTEE TRAVEL AND TOUR. Interesting enough, I already have a Nigerian visa that is still valid until August 2010. So, really it's just a matter of Pentro buying my plane ticket and bringing me over there (I doubt it).
I also asked about training on their aircraft. Since I don't have a type rating in the 707, 737 or Challenger....I asked where I would be doing training for those aircraft. No answer yet.
Nigeria is not that bad in certain parts. I don't think Delta State is a very good place to be. If this was real, it wouldn't be that bad of a job.

The next scam could be adverts for Space Shuttle Commanders as part of the glorious Nigerian Space program...you have to pay for your own visa processing and spacesuit though.

Glorious Nigerian Space Program?
Possibly.
The American Space Shuttles are being retired this year. Pick them up cheep I'm sure. It's an African Aviation tradition, is it not? Get further use from what others think unusable? From what others think are too expensive to maintain? Push the limit’s a bit farther than what others are willing?
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Nigerian in orbit before long. Maybe two.

Well, it appears to be a legit contract, with 12 sections and 19 articles, details...
I received an other email as a response from my part for more details, and they wrote this:
"The type of Aircraft we do operate on are Boeing 747, Boeing 737, Boeing 757, Bell 212, Bell 412, Bell 440, Airbus A340 and Airbus A340."

A few helicopters for surveying/local transport as well as a mid-range jet for international network purposes maybe + TP for regional flying - you might just get a few muppets to believe....but an A340, B757 and a B747????! What the hell are they hauling around the sky that requires that kind of capacity?
Someone's having a joke. Surely? You've got to give it to them for trying, thats for sure.

Scam Confirmation
Just to confirm this is a SCAM.
I have received the confirmation from my Embasy in Lagos.
DO NOT give personal detail, bank account, credit card or money to these people.

Not possible Vortex, as I have just won the $10m lottery as confirmed by an email from a Dr Adebayo, someone who I've never heard from before. What a decent chap.
This is soooo embarassing but would you believe it? A Mrs Kwangai from the Nigerian Federal Bank wants me to share in a deceased person's account. The only catch is I have to set up a separate bank account and put some initial funds in it to make it look real. In return I get a 40% share of the $7m the deceased left!! Cant believe she picked me! I'm made!! I'm just so lucky!! Thank my lucky stars for Nigerian honesty and integrity. Ohhh I'm just so happy... $12.8 m in one day!!!
And the list goes on and on and on...

Pentro Drilling
Well I feel like one of the club, I received my letter of employment and employment contract from Pentro Drilling today. $12,000.00 USD a month, 60 days on, 30 days off. $2,600.00 for air travel for my month off, free medical, dental, optical, two bed room flat + 2 rooms for my "live in" domestics. That's right, two rooms for my "live in" domestics. Local transportation provided, Free college for my spouse and up to 4 kids.
I sent an email to Dr. Ahmed, he's going to set me up to work in Nigeria!
BTW, that's $12,000.00 @ month AFTER TAXES it clearly says that in the contract.
When I gave this to the wife, she happens to be an Attorney. She had to take out the red high lighter! We had a really good laugh. The Nigerians are getting pretty good with their computer skills! Although the contract is in many different fonts from where they cut and paste!
I'll keep you posted as to the Doctors reply!!

Does anybody know of someone who has followed these guys all the way through? i.e. paid the $350.00 only to find that its a scam?
