Go online and do your homework thats what I am doing with Saudi Arabia you will find a lot of good info.  Ask the computer questions like how is the living with family in Abidjan and keep asking questions you should get a lot of answers.

I was offered a job from the same company - administration manager.  I also saw another post on this forum on this blog saying that she was also offered the same exact position as I was.  I sincerely believe this is a scam.  google = addax petroleum job scam. 

I suspected something wrong when I first went to see their website.  It is very unprofesional, all the photos are stock photos, and so many typos.  Even the email from "Lucky" has petroleum spelled with an "N".  When I got the contract - I saw mention of brand names - Sony Vaio, 2011 Mitsibushi - who does that? 

Sorry,  I was so happy when I got the job offer because I have been unemployed for over a year.

If I were you, I would stick with the known devil as the unknown devil could be an absolute nightmare - could be an utter rip off etc.

Cheers

I received a job offer without an interview from Addax Petroleum as Operation Manager... Of course I declined their offer...I feel that its a scam.

Well, good for you that you smelt the scam.

Who would offer you a job without an interview nowadays as the market is full of people looking to move on in life.

Cheers
