Recruitment Scams

It has been brought to attention of Leni Gas and Oil Group (‘LGO’) that fraudulent communications have been made to members of the public offering false employment opportunities in LGO. There have been recent incidents that have occurred with organisations falsely pretending to recruit on behalf of LGO or by people claiming to work for, or be affiliated to, LGO. These propositions notify individuals that their qualifications were found suitable to work as an employee (local or expatriate) for LGO and solicit the transfer of significant sums of money to pay for work permits, insurance policies, etc.

Please note that LGO (nor any of the organisations that recruit on our behalf) never ask for any money or payments from applicants, at any point in the recruitment process. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from LGO, whether directly or indirectly, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process.

Please note that these communications are fraudulent. They do not originate from LGO nor are they associated with LGO’s recruitment process.

How to identify Recruitment fraud

• The perpetrators will often ask recipients to complete bogus recruitment documentation, such as application forms, terms and conditions of employment or visa forms. The LGO name and logo is often featured on the documentation without authority
• There is an early request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, CV, passport details, bank details etc.
• Candidates are requested to contact other companies/individuals such as lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies etc.
• E-mail correspondence is often sent from (or to) free web-based e-mail accounts such as Yahoo.com, Yahoo.co.uk, Gmail.com, Googlemail.com, Live.com etc.
• The perpetrators frequently use mobile or platform telephone numbers beginning with +44(0)70 instead of official company numbers.
• The perpetrators may even offer to pay a large percentage of the fees requested and ask the candidate to pay the remaining amount.
• There is an insistence on urgency

We recommend that you do not:

• Respond to unsolicited business propositions and/or offers from people with whom you are unfamiliar.
• Disclose your personal or financial details to anyone you do not know.
• Send any money, LGO does not ask for money transfers or payments from applicants to secure a job, either as an employee or as a contractor.
• If you receive such proposals, we would advise you to contact your local police and provide them with all information you may have from the senders (email addresses, phone/fax details, etc.).
