Comments on this High Commission
I received the same mail posted by Osman earlier. I also strongly feel its a scam. I called the number and was asked to pay 398 cedis through a mobile money account 0276621242. Its fake. I don't believe any job willing to pay 8,800 would ask you to pay for 398 cedis and not even use an account but mobile money where there would be no proof or receipt
I applied from an jobsite, sent the initial information and was awarded the position.
I was uneasy about the deal and started digging and eventually ended up sending an email to Amanda Williams (HR Director) asking for some clarity on the questions/statements below. Needless to say I've not heard from them since. These are things you should look out for as a credible company will have all these things in place.
*There is a multitude of complaints (1117 to be exact) on the website at the High Commission in Ghana about similar job appointments for various companies in Ghana with the same modus operandi as per your offering, some of the forms are exactly as per your appointment letter as well as the followup scripts. (https://embassy-finder.com/south-africa_in_accra_ghana?page=25). Many of the applicants paid the required fees, some even paid several extended amounts requested and never received any of the said documents with no recourse to return the funds deposited.
*Ghanayello also does not have Mari-Gold Mining and Construction Company listed under their mining companies in Tarkwa
*DHL courier service is quoted as between $25 -$50 USD (not $260 as per your brief) for shipping documents (3days) in a standard envelope between ZA and Ghana.
*Mari-Gold Mining and construction Company does not have a registered domain and uses a free website service provider. For a company of your size I would expect the aforementioned domain and professional website to be in place, especially if you have been around for many years (since 2002)
*According to the reverse lookup of Phone numbers your listed numbers are registered as mobile numbers. (Why would a major corporate company that is a subsidiary of Marigold mining in the US, operate on mobile phones?
*No information on Marigold mining and construction company on the GhanaWeb site.
*There is no reference on Mari-Gold US website about a subsidiary in Ghana as stated on job advertisement websites such as http://www.myjoymarket.com/ads/view/60482
*I also cannot find an Amanda Williams in Ghana on Linked-In or Facebook or working for MariGold, which seems very unlikely based on the current social profile tendencies.
Please this a big fraud. Please I sugest that no one should make any payment to them.

Hi There, my concern is i received a mail from one south African based company inviting me a job placement. the irony is that they are asking me to pay 398 for the job induction and training. Can you guys confirm if there is such activity on going and is it genuine?
I received an email from one Zakar Sibuiso Mabulena.
Country:Recruitment Manager.
Address: Dunkwa offinso,bogoso,
Liberia.Tarkwa,Ghana.
Official Email:(Info.BelkoSAConstruction@safrica.com)stating that i had been offered a job pursuant to my application for employment (which i did send). But i am being asked to pay some registration fee for a two-day workshop in Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana.
Intriguingly, i am unable to find any website with any info on the company. Who has any advice because it looks like a scam to me.
Also received offer from Yasmin,no recruitment can be done before speaking to an applicant..all recruiters would firstly contact you via telecom prior to sending documents as to ensure they not in the wrong and make you aware of what the intention is.Don't be a dummy.
