Contract of employment Alpha Engineering Construction Sarl what do they think we are stupid!!
Hello Louis Victor ,
Due to urgency of workers needed to start our new project , we have verified your CV and due to the urgency of workers that we are needing to start our new contract you are welcome to our company, here attached is your offer of Employment. We will like to work with you for one year, but when you reach Cameroon you will sign another contract for your preferred duration. I am happy to inform you that after screening and examination of your file, you will be retained for the job as Welder after having a head to head interview with our Board of directors at the company's head Quarter .
Congratulations and hoping to see you in Cameroon. You are expected to give in your best to the company as stated in your CV in order to keep your position, if the Company finds you as incompetent to the position granted you. It will not hesitate to demote you immediately.

Salaries are increased after 4 months of working with us depending on your performances. Other Benefits: transportation, flight, holidays, health insurance, portable drinking water etc. You will be flying to Douala International Airport, Cameroon. But before that you need to make arrangements for your first month accommodation and also we need to get you a resident and work permit.

*Flight
We shall be paying your flight ticket
*Accommodation:
Your accommodation during your first month of work will be your sole responsibility (Booking & Payment).

NB.. Note that you have to book your accommodation and send the reservation receipt to the company as your proof of accommodation.
This is because, you must show proof of accommodation before you can obtain a work or resident permit in Cameroon. This is very important.
You shall be moved into the Company's Residential quarters after about two months with the company, and your money refunded to you. This is because lodging facilities are not yet ready at the construction site.
We are sorry for this, but it is the best way we can solve the accommodation problems at the moment.

-Proof of Accommodation: You can reserve an apartment from any state recognized apartment company or hotel and forward the receipt as
proof of accommodation to us. Grang Voyageurs Hotels and Homes is
recommended
for its proximity to the company, security, cleanness, availability of portable water at all times and the availability of free mosquito nets.

With Grang Voyageurs Hotels and Homes , you can either pay just
one month and they give
you a reservation for three months . The proof of funds does not include giving out your bank details to any one.

So you can choose to pay one month . You can contact Grang Voyageurs
Hotels and Homes for Reservation .
Tell them you are from Alpha Engineering Construction Sarl Below is their address Grang Voyageurs Hotels and Homes
Address: 44th Park st, Ave kennedy, Yaounde,BP 2577 Yaounde
Tel: (+237)90230000

*Flight: Round trip flight ticket provided to employee and 3 other persons only. A company representative will receive you from the airport.
You are entitle to a four weeks holiday. A round trip air ticket is normally provided to you, but it cannot be more expensive than the cost of a ticket to your country of origin.
Please confirm your acceptance of this offer and forward the following additional documents.

-Index page of Passport/Passbook
Forward the above document of any other persons coming along with the employee.
All requested documents should be forwarded as soon as possible as they are all relevant for the procession of your work permit. As soon as we receive these documents, we shall forward your file to the immigration center for the procession of your work permit. The immigration Center shall then instruct the concerned Cameroonian Embassy to issue your Work Visa.
The Embassy usually gives special considerations to Work Permit and Visa applicants with at least 2 months accommodation proof in the Country. You stand a chance of obtaining at least three years visa if your accommodation reservation is three months and above. With a three year visa, you will not need to ask a visa when returning from your annual leave.
Our dedicated team is here to advise you on every query. We look forward to welcoming you to the Company.
Yours Sincerely,

John Luma

Letter to Jacqueline
As jy enige geld moet inbetaal is daar fout, as die regte company mense soek om iewers in afrika te werk betaal hulle als, jy hoef nie n sent uit te haal nie. Dit is my en baie ander mense se oepinie wat al in ander lande gewerk het.

Fru Construction
My husband also got a contract with Alpha construction, €115 per hout, we need to pay R1600 for visa and permit as they will cover accomodation, I am also not sure and can't find any other contacts exept on the contract and website and the only representative is John Lamu, no HR manager, no switchboard and the site is under construction, the facebook page is Fru Manhikang but there is no convincing activity exept for job posts for Camaroon. If someone knows anything please contact me, jacqueline.lohmann70@gmail.com. If this is not a scam it could be a great opperunity, if it is a hoax to extort money, there will be some uninformed people out of hard earned money. Thanks

NAVAL BUILDERS CAM
I am soon convinced this is a scam, The fact me and none of you can find any information of this company...I asked them where this company was based, they told me it was an American based company working with the government. I am abosolutely 100% convinced this is a scam, as if it was an american company you would be able to find info on them. Im assuming they get you to pay month rent and you never get a plane ticket. Too bad, was looking foward to the wage promised!
