The answerer above is very accurate.


Texaco is a Public Limited Company in Nigeria, traded on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Thus, their company name will end in "PLC".


$22,000 per month is NOT reasonable salary for a safety officer in almost any country...even private american security officers in Iraq.


Of course, nobody pays a security officer in Nigeria that much. You're looking at over $250,000/yr for a security job in Abuja...which is probably the safest place in the country. In the Niger Delta, you wouldn't get paid that amount either.
Reply:I know I was registered on monster and I got an interview with some bank but it was doing the insurance like selling it...I of course turn it down because I am a stay at home mom, but my aunt went to job interview. I told her about it and had her call the number. She didnt get it.
Reply:Scam? The word Nigeria sounds like a scam already......5 bedroom flat? No way.
Reply:In the US this is not a high paying job....so anyone from here would need the extra perks of a car, no documents, a place to live to even be interested. They are offering the perks in leiu of the salary they are not paying....so it sounds about right to me.





However, you would need to be sure the offer is valid...the way to do that is contact the Texaco Oil Co. yourself, and confirm that this is a valid offer. Probably is because it is not easy to get workers to go to Nigeria from here.





Also realize there is some risk involved in being a safety officer....but since you would have an apartment and a car, most of the salary could be saved. Tell him to check on his own with the Company itself. They will confirm if it is a valid offer that is open.





Texaco Oil Co. is a valid co. to deal with....just be sure this is offered by them. Also there may be some "strings" tied to the offer....a commitment to stay so long....a "loan" of the car....it may be a company car to use as long as you have the job...then have to return it....how or where the apartment is....also who is monster.com...do they get a commission for placing someone in the job? Find out from the company.





Also the "Limited" at the end bothers me....not sure Texaco Oil Co. has that in their title...check that out too.
