Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited has been alerted to an e-mail/internet hoax that involves solicitation of candidates for fictitious job opportunities at Pan Ocean. The perpetrators of the plot pretend to be associated with Pan Ocean and send e-mails, post advertisement, or create fictitious websites that offer instant interviews for job opportunities that do not exist. The fictitious website requires applicants to provide personal information or pay fees as part of a false recruitment process.

Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited hereby confirms that such promises and/or checks are not generated by Pan Ocean or in any way associated with the Company. Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited never requires any candidate to contribute or pay any expenses or fees towards potential employment within the company.

The scam email messages are generated by individuals purporting to be member of Human Resources team at Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited. The scam is not legitimate and does not originate from Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited. It is fraudulent.

For the avoidance of doubt, Pan Ocean neither sends unsolicited e-mail offering employment, requesting for personal documents/credentials nor asks candidates to pay fees to start work with Pan Ocean. Although Pan Ocean may intermittently use e-mail to inform applicants about potential job opportunities, Pan Ocean does so only for candidates who have previously registered with Pan Ocean for the purpose.

Members of the public who have received unsolicited employment e-mail and have been requested to make a payment/send documents are advised to check carefully before responding. Such solicitation is likely to be part of a phishing scheme for the purpose of identity theft or may be connected to some other fraudulent activity.

Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited, disclaims all responsibility with respect to any expense, loss, and/or damage of any kind, which might have occurred in connection with any e-job application and/or recruitment procedure.

Pan Ocean lists its legitimate job openings on the careers section of its official Web site, www.panoceanoilnigeria.com, and any e-mail from the company includes our corporate domain—“[name]@poocng.com.” We encourage you to review our open positions and submit your resume for any position that matches your skills and experience.
