The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has warned members of the public against a scam alert which purportedly originated from EFCC Help Desk Headquarters, Jabi-Abuja.
A statement by Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, on Saturday said the commission does not have such a desk.
According to the statement, any information assumed to come from the EFCC Help Desk should be disregarded as such did not emanate from the EFCC.
“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,” the statement added.
He noted that messages can also be sent to the commission’s verified social media platforms – Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. All share the same address: @officialefcc.
