The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has described as fake and unreliable the news stating that the agency’s recruitment exercise has commenced.
The Commission, in a statement signed by the head of its Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, on January 16, expressed reservation over the activities of criminally minded individuals going about defrauding unsuspecting members of the public by selling falsehood.
It read in parts, “Economic and Financial Crimes Commission wishes to alert the public about fake EFCC recruitment form 2021 circulating in the social media, and warn that the Commission is currently not recruiting.
“Scammers bent on defrauding hapless job seekers, have been active in the social media, providing link for unsuspecting members of the public seeking employment into the EFCC, to obtain, “EFCC Recruitment Form 2021/2022 and Guidelines Form and apply for the ongoing EFCC recruitment 2021
“Fraudsters are also circulating forged ‘Offer of Employment Letters,’ purporting same to be from the EFCC, and extorting members of the public.
“The public should note that, there is no ongoing recruitment in the EFCC. The purported ‘EFCC Recruitment Form 2021’ as well as the ‘official recruitment portal’ and ‘Offer of Employment Letters’ are non -existent.
“For the avoidance of doubt, recruitment into the EFCC is a structured, transparent and merit-driven process which is always heavily advertised through the mass media and the Commission’s social media platforms. It is highly automated, with no place for the so-called Employment Form.
“The EFCC is on the trail of the scammers behind this devious scheme as no efforts will be spared to bring them to justice.”
The Commission urged the public to cross check doubtful information with the agency through its site.
