RE:SCAM ALERT: CIVIL DEFENCE DISSOCIATES THE CORPS FROM PURPORTED, FAKE RECRUITMENT
- We have been intimated of the social media scam by a syndicate group on unsuspecting persons using the photographs and goodwill of a senior officer in the Corps to smartly swindle individuals, groups and others of their monies through this negative scheme.
- The Corps is using this medium to warn the general public to completely dismiss and avoid any of such wrong impressions because it is a scam.
- The Corps through its team of intelligence/ surveillance is doing everything in its powers to uncover this syndicate and bring them to justice.
- Before this is unravelled, we hereby dissociate the Corps and the senior officer in that fake/scam alert from such anomalies and also warn those behind to desist from such criminal act.
- On a last note, if the Corps is going to recruit, there is a channel and always a general notification on such in the various media. Until then, let us stay safe from these bunch of scammers.
