EFCC Raises Alarm Over Job Scam
It has come to the knowledge of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that some unscrupulous individuals are seeking to exploit the current recruitment exercise in the Commission for private gain by soliciting payment from unsuspecting job seekers in order to facilitate their employment into the Commission.
This is a scam and members of the public are warned not to deal with anyone with such proposition as the agency does not collect money from jobseekers. Candidates that participated in the recent aptitude test by the Commission should avoid falling prey to tricksters by shunning any promise of employment for a fee. The employment process in the EFCC is open and transparent and cannot be compromised through bribery.
Members of the public are advised to report any request for money for employment into the Commission at the nearest office of the EFCC or police station.
