This one was posted on an Australian helicopter forum that has a lot of low timers posting on it. If one were to read the ad it would be quite obvious that it was cut out of position advertised in the USA for a fire fighting contract. Fire fighting in Nigeria with an oil company... I feel sorry for those that lose their cash with these scams but really a little bit of common sense or home work is all that is needed in the first place to prevent it.

I have just read the contract of employment forwarded to me by an engineer that was about to accept the position with mega oil.
Apart from the spelling mistakes and poor grammar, it looks like a good contact with a salary of 15000USD/Month.
2 things that really stood out was the fact they kind a discouraged the 28/28 rotation and promoted the bring the family option, then in section 11, The true Nigerian scam came to light, They wanted 20% of the total travel costs for the engineer and his family plus the costs of doing the documents for travel etc up front, As we all know, No oil company would ask for money up front for this kind of thing.

"but due to sad past experience whereby after paying for expatriates travel
and immigration documents, they later change their minds towards the
job telling us they have gotten a better job offer somewhere".
Don't tell the scammers, but maybe if they didn't let everyone know that there are better deals around than the one they are offering they might have a better success rate!! I've seen idiots on TV who get roped into these scams, & I struggle to understand how anyone could be so naive.
P.S. - I have a baby Saquatch at home that I found in the bush after it's mother died. Unfortunately I can't afford to look after after it properly, but if you send me lots of money I'll let you name it!!
I wonder how homo sapiens became the dominant species on this rock.

Must be big $$ in identity theft....
Interesting. Someone paid to have the Mega Oil ads for helicopter pilots and mech's placed into our jobs boards.
I also posted the ad into other helicopter industry message boards to see what experience others were having and received no positive feedback.
Judgement......It is a SCAM and I have since removed the job ad.
Kind Regards,
Lyn Burks
- I emailed the published contact email - Valid email but NO reply
- I called the published number - got an "all lines are busy" message.
- Hit the website megaoil.net - site us down - under construction.
- Google search turns up a few vague links with nothing solid. But you can see they went to some effort to put some peripheral info into other websites like Oil Voice to make them look legit.

Nigeria
Guys, I reckon anything which is in Nigeria is probably a scam. In addition, when I was checking up on Mega Oil and Gas when I was going through this same process, the British Foreign Office advises against going to Nigeria for any reason due to kidnapping and pirates etc. So with that said, even if it is not a scam, would you really want to go?

Not every potential job offer in Nigeria is a scam. Just stick with the 'reputable' (I'm using the term loosely) Western companies like Bristow and CHC and you can be assured that there is an actual aircraft for you to fly and an actual paycheck for you at the end of the month. As for wanting to live or work there; it's a cost/benefit analysis that works out differently for all of us. If you can't imagine going there; then don't go.

Another SCAM
I am now sitting in Warri, Nigeria 
As far as I know Mega Oil doesn't exist
The only civilian choppers flying in Nigeria are Bristow, Aero/CHC, Pan African, Caverton, OAS, and a private one in Abuja.
I haven't heard of any other new company here
I am sure it's a scam
I will apply for the fun

Mega Oil and Gas Company ??????
Gentlemen, I believe the engineering of this scam is in the contract details. Not only do they want you to pay 20% of the 'mobilisation fees' which they claim is to cover the procurement of Nigerian legal documents, and will be refunded to you within 72 hours of arrival in Nigeria, they also want to give you one months salary in advance. The latter is the key to the scam - clearly they will need your bank account details to generously pay you your months salary in advance...I would recommend this be treated with more than the usual dash of caution!! I also asked some of the other operators in Nigeria if this company exists in Warri, Nigeria, and nobody has ever heard of it. I strongly believe the Job Placement Agencies around the world that are placing these advertisemnts on behalf of Mega Oil should take more responsibility for these dangerous scamming tactics.
