The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has informed the public to ignore a notice making the rounds that it is undertaking its 2019 recruitment exercise, a dubious claim by fraudsters, which it attributed to the “continuous activities of impostors and fake news websites spreading falsehood.”
The Corporation, in a statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications, Jude Nwauzor, informed the public that the stories were ‘brazen falsehood’ and were meant to mislead innocent job seekers and the public.
“AMCON is not currently recruiting and did not engage any agency whatsoever to recruit on its behalf,” the statement read in part.
It added, “We therefore call on all stakeholders and indeed all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to kindly disregard these misrepresentations and beware of online fraudsters who claim to work for or represent AMCON as the corporation is not recruiting at the moment.
“To avoid being misled in terms of the origin of any news and information being circulated and bearing resemblance to our identity, kindly scrutinize any such news or information claiming to be from “AMCON,” by confirming the information on our website. Should AMCON decide to recruit anytime in the future, it does that directly from its Abuja office.”
The Corporation noted that in April 2018, the online fraudsters, also attempted to disposes innocent job seekers claiming to have been commissioned by AMCON to recruit new staff on their behalf. Just as in this case, we issued a press release, which prevented hundreds of job seekers from falling prey to the heartless and dubious gang.
The press statement, according to the agency, is meant to prevent hundreds of job seekers from falling prey to the ploy of unscrupulous persons.
I like this web site because so much useful stuff on here : D.
