We have recently been made aware of Fraudulent recruitment emails been sent out to unsuspecting nurses by an individual Dr. Christopher Mmadu claiming to be recruiting for "Hartland Specialist Hospitals" located at Plot 401 Cadastral Zone c10, off Obafemi Awolowo Way, Jabi District Garki, Abuja,
We had previously advertised the said vacancy on 20th November 2013. These fraudulent offers of employment request applicants to pay five thousand naira as part of the application process.
According to the offer letter, this fee encompassess the expenses for feeding, accommodation, transportation and lab coat. The individuals claim to be funded by UNICEF officials and have foreign experts. Applicants are required to submit their application in less than a week of receiving their email and application forms.
Our investigation has revealed that the said organization is not located at the said address and rather hosted on a free web hosting platform gbno.com
Please take note that any such activities are not authorized by nor linked in any way to Heartland Specialist Hospitals. All such activities must be regarded as criminal, unauthorized use of brands and names with the intent of starting a "recruitment scam."
Please don’t answer to these offers and please note these common warning signs that an employment offer is fraudulent:
Request for payment of a preliminary employment processing fee
Request for payment for mandatory pre-employment training
Without any interview process, receipt of an email confirming employment
E-Mail messages from a webmail account. Pay particular attention if the "From:" address is different from the address to which you are to reply.
What could you do?
Until it is certain that both an employer and an opportunity are genuine, never release personal information or upfront payments such as that listed above. If you have disclosed any of the above information to an individual or website you do not trust, please consider reporting this to your local law enforcement agency.
