The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it attention has been drawn to the unwholesome activities of an employment syndicate operating in Akure, Ondo State, which claims to have been contracted to recruit staff for the Board using a dedicated social media account.

JAMB Director Public Affairs, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who stated this in a statement issued to news men said the syndicate, operating under "Akure Job and  Business Advert Forum", located at Quarters 92 Alagbaka Estate, Near CBN Office, IBB Avenue, Akure, Ondo State, is using the name of JAMB, Ondo State Office, to advertise job vacancies into secretarial and clerical positions in the Board.

He warned the public against falling victims of the scam. "The Board, is by this disclaimer, advising all members of the public to disregard such information as it is currently not recruiting in any of its offices nor has it contracted anyone or organisation to do so on its behalf.

Anybody doing business with the above-mentioned platform or similar ones does so at his/her own risk. Furthermore, stiff legal actions will be taken against anyone found culpable of such nefarious acts" Benjamin said.

He advised the public to be wary of the shenanigans of mischief makers out to defraud hapless job seekers as all notifications by the Board are made only through its approved channels.
