On www.rayconoilcompany.com, under the "services" section, it makes reference to "Solac Engineering" for "procurement services", inferring it is a group company.

In reviewing the details for previous scams on this and other websites, the following stands out:

Solac : HR Manager = Solomon Uba
Raycon Travel Agent = Suleman Abu

Raycon HR Manager = Tunde Olomu
Solac Travel Agent = Tunde Tayo

This scam company is not to be confused with Raycon & Company (NIG.) Ltd. (www.raycon.net), a legitimate civil engineering and mechanical contractor

    1. Yes this was advertised and i was approached by the same guy with appointment letter and contract agreement. I totally agree that no company can ask for 25% advance on working for visa and travel documents.

  2. I also got same letters by same procedure and wordings. I doubted the letter since said company was asking for 25% advance on visa processing and travel expenses. None of the company ask for such advance. all expenses are to be borne by company hiring us. Be aware now.

  3. Same for me , I received the same letter of employment followed by this request of 350 USD to start Visa processing. What's also dangerous is that I was replying to a "Pilot" job offer on a 100% valid international pilot recruiting website ( Flightglobal jobs or Aviation Job Search ).

  5. I also got a job offer as such as accounts manager. Without any phone interview got offered employment. Went into their website to verify authenticity of the company through the email supplied they responded by saying how authentic was the offer and from now i must speak through the agency so that they will help with the applications and visas. funny enough on my application i put on a salary of $6,000 which they did not despute and my job offer came as my application, which to me looked suspicious.

  6. Same for me, I paid the $350 and then they asked for $1750 more, so I was aware it was a robbery and stopped. They still try to call and explain it is Company Policy and bla bla bla... Larry, Yusuf, and different names are used. They have fake web page where they "alert of scam under our name" but just to confirm the same and give you confidence.
