I think they are trying to infer that they have their own TRTO which, given the number of Boeing and airbus variants they claim to have, would make them the largest TRTO in the whole of Africa. :eek:

Astonishing what they will try.... :hmm:

Give them some of their own!
 

I wonder if ALL the pilots on this forum pretended to show interest in these scams and went along with them as far as possible(ie getting them to post and fax things from nigeria etc) before telling them to :mad:off!, as some posters as already have done, would these scamsters realise it was a waste of time and give up. Would sure be good fun trying!

"Branson junor" typerating scam
 

Hi guys, i am trying to find the thread about the Branson junior scam.

I have tried to use the search function but i dont remember hies name or the name of hies "airline".

Anybody who can help??

I ran into something that I think was a scam earlier, but didn't record the url.

They mentioned they wanted CV's of pilots for contract work. I started to fill out the form, but stopped when they asked to have me upload copies of my log books, licenses, medical, passport, diplomas, and more.

I sarcastically sent an email asking why they didn't just straight out ask for my bank account number, and they responded saying that they do in fact request bank information, before signing any contracts.

They might be legitimate, but with all that information they could very easily steal a persons identity.

Hi Darkroomsource,

Do you remember what the name of the company was?

No, sorry. I don't even remember where I found the link, just that they were advertising somewhere for "contract pilots" to take fill-in positions on crews. Everything looked and sounded legitimate until they wanted to upload ALL my documentation before even interviewing or discussing anything. At that point I decided that they were PROBABLY not legitimate, because if they were, they would probably have wanted to communicate a bit before they wanted all those documents.
Then, when I sent an email and got back a response that said yes, the did in fact want my bank information, I was even more concerned about it being a scam. So I just wanted to put it out there that someone, by some name, might be asking for more information than should be given to them prior to an interview.

Might I invite all of you who have been tempted by a job offer and who subsequently found out it was a scam or any of you who have information about scams to get in touch with Welcome to ScamWarners as they can help to stop others from being caught out in the future. Many thanks.

Jet Aviation Dubai LLC - recruitment announced by PPC on 08/01/2011.
Now declared SCAM!

You are of course correct. Another possibility is that they are trying to be a legitimate contract agency but they're not very experienced and don't really know how to go about signing people up?

Is there some central agency that can shut these scam sites down? I really hate how when times are hard all these creeps crawl out from whatever rock they live under only to use people's desperation to scam them out of money. Makes me sick

Falcon Aviation Services Scam
 

I was recently offered an amazing job with FAS Abu Dhabi...or so I thought. Turns out id just been the victim of a very convincing and elaborate hoax to try and extort money from me via a western union transfer to cover the cost of my visa permit fees and courier costs etc, to the amount of over $1000.
It was a very convincing scam, contract all in place and seemed legit. Wording always professional. Names of people correct (i checked the FAS website and they were impersonating Celine Pedon who is the current HR Manager listed on the FAS official page).
Everything was so perfect, and I had a start date of a month from now, I was getting very excited about starting and had a phone call from some Arab accented guy called Mohammed (no, seriously!) who was really difficult to understand as he didnt seem to speak much english, or understand my simple questions very well... but there was a lot of back and forth interaction via email, which in hindsight was just to really suck me in.... Then boom, the email that came stating i was to process my visa application with Emirate Diplomat Agency (who i googled and found NO website or info for)
I asked the emailer for an office number, and he always just said he would call me (from a private number).
Then I found this earlier thread on here, and after sending the link to 'Mohammed' I heard nothing back...
Ive informed FAS about this to their genuine email and wanted to share with you all to hopefully save you from wasting your time, and printer ink....and especially from visiting a western union money transfer shop anytime soon!
Just to note, the fake scam emails were from the following email addresses
[email protected] and [email protected]
Feel free to waste their time as much as theyve wasted mine... :mad: :ugh:

If you ever stumple upon Abraham Benz, I bet you'll lose some money. So stay away from this guy.

Fraud

FURTHER SCAMMING FOR UAE PILOT JOBS
 

Gents,

Please be aware that the Nigerian 'pilot job' scammers are now purporting to represent AEROGULF SERVICES (although they show the company located in Abu Dhabi!) and are offering US Military pilots jobs in the Company and demanding CONSIDERABLE payments up front for 'visa and residency' costs. This seems to be effecting all UAE helicopter companies as ADA, FALCON and now AEROGULF have received reports of pilots having paid out money for 'pilot positions'.

AEROGULF advises all pilots to see their website recruiting page which carries a specific warning against making such payments - and that they will never ask for fees or payments of this kind.

You can email Aerogulf through their new website link at <aerogulfservices.com> for further information if required. Please pass the word along to save other Brethren being scammed by nasty people who don't even know where the individual companies are actually located! Thanks!

Oracle,

I mentioned your post in the Rotorheads section!
