How to Avoid Fake Job Offers in Nigeria: 5 Key Red Flags

Many Nigerians are desperately looking for work right now. Scammers exploit this by sending fake job offers that can cost you money, waste your time, or even put you in danger. Common warning signs include unexpected fees (registration, training, ID or medical charges), salary offers that seem too good to be true, vague job descriptions, and mass interview invitations with no personal details. Always check a company’s online presence, verify its office address, and read reviews before accepting any offer. Never pay for a job, ask clear questions, tell someone where you are going, and trust your instincts if something feels off. Share these tips with friends and family to help protect them from falling victim to job scams.
