Dear Sirs,
In I posted my CV in several oil companies, among them Chevron.
Few weeks later I received below e-mail with some official forms to be filled and presented to the Nigerean Consulate in Venezuela. I even called to Nigerean Consulate to verify the info and they verified the info and the process described in the e-mail. Even the part regarding at the life insurance request.
After this, I wrote to John Wetego/Nike Chambers and phne call me and he stated that Chevron will cover all the fees (includding theirs), except the life insurance, that I should pay by myself and the Chevron will reimburse to me, once I started to work there. The life insurance policy cost was U.S.$ 2,500. I pay them through Western Union. After that they asked me to prepare my travel documents and get my work permit to travel to Lagos, Nigeria and start to work, because they sent me a signed Chevron's work contract.
I wrote Chevron's contacts in Chevron's Nigeria web site, but the e-mail never was answer.
Finally I contacted Chevron in Venezuela and they said to me there was a scam, so well done, that the scammers had a parallel Chevron's web site which was place over theirs. And just said me we are sorry for your lost and that is it.
This is the original e-mail:

Attn: Sir.
I am Barrister John Wetego, Immigration Lawyer mandated by Chevron and Hilldrill Engineering Limited to assist you on the immigration procedures.
There are three stages involved in the employment of expatriates in NIGERIA
1. Request for cable visa
2. Application for subject to regulation visa (STR VISA)
3. Regularizations of stay.
Once the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has approved the request for cable visa, it will be forwarded to the NIGERIAN EMBASSY who will issue you a S.T. R visa. The regularization of stay is done here in NIGERIA on your arrival.
Firstly before I proceed with the application to the Nigeria Embassy in your location to give you a STR VISA, I have to first of all get you your Expatriate Quota Approval Letter and Cable Visa from the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Nigeria.
You are to send me the following required documents so that I can make an application for you with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for the approval of your Resident/worker's Permit, Cable Visa (which is a per-requisite for STR Visa) and Expatriate Quota.
1. Proof of vaccination against yellow fever.
2. Medical fitness report (HIV, HEPATITIS B)
3. Nigeria Expatriate insurance policy certificate (NEIP)
4. A scanned copy of your international passport.
5. Letter of Acceptance of Job Offer
THE NIGERIA EXPATRIATE TRAVELERS INSURANCE POLICY (NETIP) COVER is a mandatory requirement by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) this is because the policy is to prove that you are medically fit; to work in Nigeria and also it is a per-requisite to renew your resident/worker's permit every year.
The NETIP should have benefits to the tune of $9,000, 000.00 (NINE MILLION US DOLLARS) and the duration is one year, it should include benefits for loss of luggage, repatriations, medical, permanent disability and death etc
The preferred insurance company by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) is RIVERS INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED. RIVERS INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED is a Nigerian government owned insurance company located in Nigeria, so you are to look for their agent in your location.
After you have applied for the NETIP policy, you will be issued a certificate. You are to send me a copy of the certificate Issued via electronically as attachment.
Attached is the Nigerian Immigration Services form, you are to go through it carefully before filling it properly.
On confirmation from the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for of the approval of your cable visa, expatriate quota resident/worker's permit, it will be forwarded to the Nigerian Embassy in your location you will be invited from the Nigerian Embassy in your location for a brief interview for your S.T. R visa.
The form attached is in PDF format, which means you need adobe acrobat to open it.
These are the vital procedures which you must adhere to because it is in accordance to the" Expatriate Statutory Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria".
Call me immediately you received this mail if you have any question on 234 8076011299.
Best Regards,
John Wetego.
