The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued a warning about a fake recruitment advertisement circulating on social media. The advert falsely claims that INEC is hiring for various positions and directs applicants to a fraudulent website, inecrecruitment.com, to complete their applications. INEC clarified that it does not operate such a portal, is not currently hiring, and has described the advert as a scam perpetrated by criminal elements seeking to defraud the public.
The fake portal, www.inecrecruitment.com, has been identified as a tool used by impostors to deceive potential applicants. INEC’s warning serves as a timely reminder for Nigerians to be cautious when responding to job advertisements, especially those found on social media. The commission urged the public not to fall victim to these scams and to disregard the counterfeit recruitment advert.
This incident underscores the importance of verifying information through official channels before taking any action. Nigerians are advised to exercise caution when encountering job advertisements that require personal or financial information online. The public should confirm the authenticity of such ads through INEC’s official website or authorized recruitment portals. By doing so, individuals can protect themselves from scams and help preserve the integrity of the electoral process.
