Total Oil and Gas Company
Fake job offe

Another scam in the name of Total Oil and Gas Company.

My friend got contacted from a reputable vacancy ad website, offering him the position of Senior Project Manager.

The scam was essentially the same and rather simple - very official language, asking for copies of documents and also a face-to-face interview in their office in Watford, UK.

The scamming part comes from their insisting on using their partner travel agency, and to pay about 900 quid for the travel expenses (initially), to show the candidate's "commitment". We didn't fall for it, but I'm assuming that more expense were to come had we sent them the initial 900.

I've come across other similar scams, all of them using TOTAL Oil and Gas name, but with different variations and travel agencies:

I shall paste the email and their contact details here to warn anyone who is tempted buy such a lavish job offer in UK.

Stay safe!
