The Vice Chancellor of the University of Delta, Agbor, Prof. Stella Chiemeke, has raised an alarm over the growing activities of scammers exploiting her name to defraud unsuspecting individuals in the name of offering the jobs.
In a strongly-worded statement, the VC decried the increasing sophistication of these fraudulent schemes, with a fake Facebook account which range from soliciting of funds to counterfeit job placements.
The situation, she noted, not only tarnishes her reputation but also preys on the dreams and finances of vulnerable individuals.
Public Notice:
I have recently discovered that some individuals with malicious intent are misusing my name and images to promote fake job opportunities and solicit funds from the public, particularly on Facebook.
I want to clarify that these activities are not authorized by me, and I urge the public to be cautious to avoid being deceived by these criminals.
Please do not send or accept any money from anyone impersonating me through social media.
Thank you,
Prof. Stella Chiemeke, FNCS*
