DCI warns of a Job Scam purporting that NACADA is hiring,
DCI warns of a job scam; The DCI Serious Crimes Unit is investigating a series of fraud cases where fake job advertisements are being circulated through various social media platforms purporting that the National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) is hiring personnel for various vacant positions.
In the elaborate hoax, unsuspecting job seekers are being duped to forward their applications to an illegitimate email account by a set deadline. Once their personal details are obtained, a well-organized ring of fraudsters purporting to be NACADA Human Resource personnel engage individual applicants, guiding them through a process of making payments of not less than Sh 1, 350 before blocking further communication.
To break this and similar criminal syndicates, several arrests have been made even as numerous complaints continue streaming in the DCI.
This is therefore to appeal to anyone who might have fallen victim of this confidence trick to report to DCI Headquarters Serious Crimes Unit at Block B room no. 55, for statement recording and further police assistance.
