We Are Not Recruiting, Beware of Scammers – INEC Warns Nigerians
The Independent National Electoral Commission has warned Nigerians to disregard a fake recruitment advert currently circulating on social media.
In a statement on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, INEC described the notice as fraudulent, stressing that the commission is not recruiting for any positions.
The advert, which directs unsuspecting applicants to a fake website—inecrecruitment.com.com—was dismissed as a scam.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake advertorial currently circulating on social media, giving the impression that the Independent National Electoral Commission is recruiting for various positions.
“The impostor behind this illicit recruitment exercise also asked would-be respondents to log on to an equally fake portal – inecrecruitment.com to complete their applications. But INEC does not have any such portal,” the statement read.
The commission urged members of the public not to fall victim to the scam.
“The commission hereby calls on the public to disregard this fraudulent call for applications. The commission IS NOT recruiting. Do not fall victim to the antics of criminal elements,” INEC added.
