Job vacancies in Hallvard Ingolf Group

Has anyone received a job letter from this company?  Is this a genuine company?  I received a letter from this company and told me that I was shortlisted for the job vacancy.  Then, they send an application form for me to fill up.  Then, after sending it, they said i am considered for the position and will send the employment letter.  But I am in doubt of this company because I did go for an interview.  They said that there would be any form of interview as this is an online recruitment process and the basis of selection is based on experience.

Pls. reply asap as I need to know if this is a scam.  We have to warn others also if this is not true.  They have website, it's hallvardingolf.com/

i got also same mail...................................

I have also received the same to me from this company. .what happen to you after that ?

Their address refers to the Bergen maritime museum's post box (Bergens Sjøfartsmuseum Postboks), which makes no sense for a legitimate company of the size their website makes them sound. The rest of their address also doesn't make sense, and I can't find any evidence that the post code they list even exists.

I then entered the phone number in the Norwegian yellow pages and go no matches, and when I entered the name of the company in the Norwegian post website, once again got no match.

Finally, I searched for the name of the company in the Norwegian registry (Brønnøysundregistrene). Any company operating in Norway should have a registration number. As I expected, there were no hits for Hallvard Ingolf. This is ABSOLUTELY a fake company

Thank you for taking the time to check this company.  Too good to be true.  I was just amazed that they have the website and corporate email.

I took time to reply and filled up their application form and told me yesterday that they will send me the employment letter today.  But for sure this is scam.

I also have got their offer letter and terms and conditions. Thanks for the info, ECS.

share your email here. I can forward the offer letter which I have received from them or you can mail me in [email protected]

hi everybody.... what I would like to know is, what is the target of this scam? what are they looking to achieve?
this is the second time I get a message of similar nature, although on the surface unrelated...
the first was from a company called conco Philips, the second this.... both are oil related ventures... both say my application was short listed even though I never applied to them... I am a job hunter and my profession and experience can fit in countless positions... but, this does sound dodgy....

me also received the offer. Position offer is network engineer. I called them around afternoon time and the man was answering  the call that has accent Nigerian. I asked him to provide me registration company number then he said will call me back. till now almost 4 hours I did not receive any call. Anyway, on my employment form is signed by Charles A. Kay as Human Resource Manager and I was emailing previously by two different person which are Atonio mendez (HR admin officer) and Sian eden (Sr human resource). Guys, can you please update what you got and try to get clear information about this company. Thank's

the information I posted above should be sufficiently clear. This company is absolutely not existing in Norway as a legal business that is capable of employing anyone. Without the registration number they cannot pay salaries or taxes.

also for a Norwegian company located in Bergen, I would be very surprised if they did not have a Norwegian  HR manager. That name is not Norwegian.

based on previous reports about fake companies "recruiting" in Norway they will either want you to send them money for "visa processing" or be harvesting your personal data.

I got the same response from this company and got the offer letter with terms and condition in PDF format. Afterwords i email same thing with their provided travel agent. They want me to send €790 Euros for processing the work permit. Here is full response email, Its a SCAM i think. This company website is created 12-may-2015. You can also check by entering the domain on whois.com site.

Ha ha, I also have received the the same communications from the same persons which you have posted here. And the funniest thing is that these fraud fellows do not know to prepare a decent offer letter.

Kashifmustafa, the address is once again a quick giveaway that this is totally fake.

Umeå is a city in Sweden, not a street name, and definitely not existing in Norway.

Their phone number also either doesn't exist or is unlisted, which would be odd for a business to do since they presumably want people to call them!  http://www.kvasir.no/alle-gsi?partnerid … q=67204512

i recieved the job application form.
i am architect
Thank you all for highlighting the company, i was filling the form and then found it non professional at all. So i decided to check on internet and nothing matches.

Dear kashif
you already pointed to the truth of this company.It is a real scam.All what they are planning for is to collect a large amount of the visa money.I don't think that such companies interested in all professions.They are oil and gas company,what is it to do with mental health section.
Now I'm sure they are trying to set up us.I'm not signing an online contract ,if they were real they can skype interviewers at least

I also received the same offer from this company. In fact, I replied to their email questioning the way they process a new employee yesterday but they till this day, they have never replied.

I absolutely agree from the rest of you that this is a fake company. I have an IT friend whom i ask for help and check their IP address. Would believe that their IP address is in Massachussettes, USA? If this is legitimate company in Norway, their IP address should also be from Norway.

I think their purpose is to collect the visa processing fee from us, and after we send the amount, we will never hear from them again. I have received several offer from this online recruiter. And it seems their style is the same. They tell you that you are shorlisted, send you the contract and pay a certain travel agency to process your working visa.

A legitimate company will not publish a mobile number....it should be a land line.
Take care guys for this scam.....

Any one help me is it orginal or fake

This is a scam and please do not send any money to them at all.
It is not easy to get visas, work permits for Norway and it often takes many months to get them. 

A Google search showed that this is indeed a scam. (419 Advance Fee Fraud)

It is usual for employers to cover visas costs, not the employee.
