Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN) Recruitment Scam

Shell Nigeria - This is an important notice to the public in view of recently observed increase in fraudulent communications made to members of the public, by persons and groups falsely claiming to be acting on behalf of, or pretending to be employees of any of the Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN).

These persons and groups lure unsuspecting members of the public into parting with money by making spurious offers of employment in one of our companies. Using forged versions of our brand materials, non-SCIN email accounts and domain names, they advertise fictitious vacancies, sometimes for non-existent job slots, and ask their victims to pay money for "employment" or "insurance policy/visa processing/work permit/HEUT or HSSE training". In some cases, they do so using the names of known SCiN employees.

We wish to notify the general public that Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN) do not request or require monetary payments from applicants at any stage of the recruitment process. Individuals who are interested in opportunities in SCiN will find open positions listed on the company website when available.

SCiN do not make use of employment forms, nor process CVs that have not been submitted directly through our websites (www.shell.com/careers or www.shellnigeria.com/jobs). All successful applicants who receive an offer of employment from SCiN would have gone through a formal and transparent recruitment process, and would have received an email from an email address that ends with shell.com.

Members of the public are hereby notified that any communication offering interviews or immediate employment and requesting payment at any point is fraudulent.

Anyone who receives these false solicitations is strongly advised to either disregard them in their own best interest, or report to a law enforcement agency.

The Shell Companies in Nigeria will not accept liability in any manner whatsoever for any situation arising from any engagement with these unauthorised persons and groups.
