Am I the only one noticing this?
If you apply for 8 jobs online, 7 out of the 8 will be CF lead and others. Sometimes the 8 self. These people post real jobs but u later end up getting mails from these set of fraudster.

Do job sites try to confirm job vacancies from the hiring companies?

If not, I think it's high time they started that, cos these scammers are painting them another color. Or are they just about traffic and adverts alone?

Not even a single job site can be trusted these days. These scammers are really getting to them.

It's serious. I wish the companies those scammers are impersonating cud just come across those job adverts online, track the mails and sue them.

Of course, Hotnigerianjobs used to be the best as for me too. But these scammers have really gotten to them too these days, more reason I created this thread. I think the best thing they sud be doing is comfirming these job vacancies from the companies.

All companies at least have a number they can call on their website n I'm sure after proper introduction, they can get to the HR department on request. It's not gonna cost them much.

My Job Mag and Hot Nigerian Jobs, remain the most reliable job sites to me. I have been shortlisted for interviews through these sites. Some interviews ended in a job offer, as far as I am concerned these sites are authentic and simply the best.

As adults we should take some responsibility for due diligence in our job search. Don't expect that these sites will do all the heavy lifting for us and spoon feed us.

They already do a great job by informing of us open vacancies, expecting them to verify every vacancy before they post, feels like, too much of an entitlement mentality to me.

If you receive emails from Cflead just press the delete button and move on, if you feel like it, write them an email blasting them and ask them to leave you out of their mailing list.

Hot Nigerian Jobs posted a vacancy from an organization that used a Gmail account. I applied because the role appealed to me and it played to my strengths, by the time I was invited for an interview I was pleasantly surprised at the employer/organization behind that gmail account.

The HR person later informed me that, he avoids using the company's email account for recruitment exercises because when people see the company name, they flood their inbox with applications to breaking point, making the selection process and entire exercise extremely difficult.

I could have ignored that advertised opening because a Gmail account was used (in our warped minds we automatically assume it must be fake) but I am glad I didn't. My point is simple, apply for jobs and see where it all leads to, if you don't like the direction in which it's going, nothing stops you from removing yourself from the recruitment process.

No one is taIking about spoon feeding here.
No one is saying these job sites are not trying.
No one is saying he/she can't remove him or herself off any fake recruitment.

No one is saying he/she can't take responsibility for due diligence in his/her job search.

What we are saying here:

It does tarnish these sites image : of course, we love and appreciate them and we have so much trust in them, but why is it that no one visits Jiji job site again?
The answer is simple... posting of fake jobs, which also affects their other businesses...most people do not trust them.

That's what we are saying here. It only comes as a piece of advice to those Admins not for any other thing.

And if u read carefully, u'll notice some of them were mentioned, and we clearly (myself and former contributors of this thread) pointed out they were doing wonderfully well before now. Of course, I got my present job by applying through hotnigerianjobs (just willing to quit due to personal reasons) and I always appreciate that.

Only all of a sudden, things changed (perhaps as a result of present economy of the country), they may not know at their side and u think we that noticed will be doing them favor by knowing and keeping quiet?

The rate at which these scammers are easily penetrating to their affair is alarming. We all know they are everywhere, but let's say 1 out of 10/15 jobs wud be from these scammers before now.
But since it's now 7 out of 8... don't u think these scammers are desperate and do not care if they paint these people's sweat another color entirely?

If you care about them as they care about you, u wudnt keep quiet knowing something like this.

This thread has not been created to embarrass or harm any of them, it is to call their attention. Besides, only those searching for job at present can fully understand this thread.

U are not the only one my brother, imagine some Yahoo guys recently post on top famous job websites, covering under one company.

Only for them to be able to get people who will be sending erotic messages to their clients.

The most ridiculous thing I have ever come across in my life. Just Imagine Yahoo guys developing that kinda nerve these days.

It's better if they are verifying truly, so they can also keep their own image intact.

As for Cflead, those people will not make heaven. U'll think u av applied for a reasonable job only for these spammers to be messaging u, I don report them tire.
