ParticipantI would say SCAM!
Probably someone scamming off the back of the company.To confirm this, your friend should contact the company directly via:
Sol Recruitment UK ltd . London . England .
info@solrecruitmentuk.com .
+44 208 144 3515Website is: http://www.solrecruitmentuk.com
Have a chat with them and see what they know about this supposed work in Africa.
I would not deal with them (supposedly) via a Hotmail address when they have a perfectly good domain name based email address.
You need to ask yourself why they would use a hotmail address anyway when they have been established for 10 years!!July 9, 2010 at 10:36 am #28610me

ParticipantThat address is one for an accountant, D Crann
Accounting & Book-Keeping Services (Office & Administration) based in the Brent Street area of London
Tel: 020 84572605
Address: Chruchill House, 137 Brent Street London NW4 4DJThere is also a Slimming company using the same building. So it may be that the building houses several companies.
http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile(sol-recruitment-ltd)_255216.htm has a review on SOL but this may or may not be true.
That adddress is also up for sale/lease:-
http://www.novaloca.com/property-details/18682?search=true
Addresses for sale have been used by fake companies in the past.
The wording of the contract is inconsistent. at the start is says " S.P.D.C; incorporated under the laws of Nigeria (hereinafter referred to as ‘PARTY A’" and then later "SPDC shall provide you …" and to have things such as "hall provide you access to some of the finest social and recreational facilities in Nigeria" in a legal contract (it seems it has been written in a very stilted legalese format to try and make it more official looking)
and finally:-
it appears the same offer has appeared but with different recruiting agency names.
