The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a public disclaimer warning Nigerians against a fraudulent LinkedIn account impersonating its Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede.
How the Scammers Operate
According to the Board, criminal elements created a fake LinkedIn profile in Prof. Oloyede's name and have been sending connection requests to members of the public. The impostors falsely claim to offer job placements, career management, research firm opportunities, and business networking through the account.
What You Should Keep in Mind
- Prof. Ishaq Oloyede does not own or operate any social media account (including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram).
- He has never authorised anyone to open or manage a social media profile on his behalf.
- Anyone interacting with or sending money to accounts bearing his name is dealing with fraudsters.
