Spot Fake Nigerian Job Offers in Under 30 Minutes: A Quick Verification Guide

Fake job offers are a big problem in Nigeria. Scammers use convincing emails, slick websites, and professional letters. You can spot most of these scams in under 30 minutes if you know what to check. First, run a Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) public search. Confirm the company name, registration number, and address. Any mismatch or absence is a red flag. Genuine employers will be properly registered. Next, inspect the email domain and website. Real companies use corporate addresses, not free services. Avoid links in the offer. Look up the domain age and staff details. Scam sites are often brand new and lack a team directory. Finally, watch for common red flags. Requests for upfront fees, vague interviews on messaging apps, or pressure to decide fast are clear signs of fraud. Always compare the offer details with public job listings. Spending 30 minutes on these steps can protect your data and your money.
