The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has drawn the attention of the public to a scam alert trending on social media, which purportedly emanated from EFCC Help Desk Headquarters, Jabi-Abuja.
This was revealed by the Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, in the Commission’s Headquarters, Jabi-Abuja.
According to Uwujaren, the commission has no such desk and any information which supposedly emanated from the said EFCC HELP DESK, did not originate from the EFCC.
According to him, “The use of EFCC by the authors of the Scam Alert, smacks of sinister motives and it is important that the public is put on notice, as the Commission will not be liable should anyone becomes a victim of what is obviously a scam.
“We urge the public to be circumspect and cross check any doubtful information with the Commission.
“The EFCC can be reached through the hotline: +2348093322644; or by email: info@efcc.gov.ng.
“Messages can also be sent to the Commission’s verified social media platforms – Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. All share the same address: @officialefcc.” He said.
