A phony recruitment agency has been using the name of The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to defraud young Nigerian graduates of their money.
The recruitment agency, Topix.net on its website of same address, fronts as if it has been mandated by NAFDAC to recruit personnel for the federal government regulatory body.
Disassociating itself from the fraudulent activities of the faceless fraudsters, NAFDAC at a press briefing on Friday issued a caveat to job seekers.
John Ibu, who chairs the agency’s governing council said, “NAFDAC is neither recruiting nor has mandated anybody or organisation to do so on its behalf.”
He warned that behind the site were “conmen posing as consultants or recruitment agencies for NAFDAC.”
A call placed to the telephone number listed on the website was answered by one Paul, who claimed to be based in Lagos and said the service charged N5,500 per form for BSc jobseekers.
He said the form would be sent to a private email address for filling in and return.
“We have very few forms left, so pay quickly,” he said and gave a First Bank account number named OKHIRIA EDEGHONGHON JOSEPH for the first half payment.
Job seekers beware of this
