Poor Kenyan job hunters! The stress of trying to find a job in this poor economy that matches our skills and salary requirements is hard enough. But unsuspecting Kenyans now have another battle to contend with – JOB SCAMS and FAKE JOB OFFERS From dubious Kenyan companies and individuals!

Darubini Group of Luxury Hotels is one big con.

Here are two emails i have received from concerned job seekers. No editing.

hi, careerpoint staff; please can anyone varify for me if ‘darubini group of luxury hotels’ in watamu, which advertised jobs with u on 13th march, is realy a genuine resort. their fon numbers are not going through, yet they claim to have scheduled for the interviews on 18th this month. they are charging ksh. 3,500 for transport 2 and from watamu to nrb, payable to their non-existing travel agent ‘medicar solutions’, in nairobi Kenya before 16th this month. This looks like a real scam. Please varify. Concerned Applicant.

From Vincent.

I would like to get an opinion from you about the Darubini Hotel jobs that you had earlier in your website. The guys told me through e-mail that I had been shortlisted for the interview but I have to attend it in Coast.

However, every time I try to call the numbers they have provided in their website, the three numbers are all mteja. And then they had told me that I can either use their transport and pay Ksh.3,500 or I can use my own travelling means.

The number they provided for the car company, which is called MediCar Solutions, keeps ringing and no one ever picks. Am starting to think the whole thing is a sham, ebu shed some light coz am really confused.

The numbers they have provided in their website are: 0723775980, 0721907248 and 0724868968
For the car company ni: 0735687194 and 0202345664.

Please advice on what to do because am now thinking of not going all the way and then find out it was just a sham.

Please circulate these details as widely as possible. copy to your facebook wall.

At Career Point, we endeavor to only present jobs from genuine Kenyan employers. All job vacancies are screened before posting. We shall undertake further scrutiny to ensure no other fraudulent job gets through. And to report suspicious job, please email us at careerpointkenya at gmail dot com.
