The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has raised the alarm over the fresh plots being deployed by fraudsters to dupe unsuspecting candidates.

The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who disclosed this in a weekly news bulletin, released yesterday by the organisation’s Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin, advised all candidates to “jealously guard their UTME registration numbers and profile codes to avoid falling victim of this latest scam.”

The candidates, he added, “should know that what these fraudsters do is to take advantage of their naivety and subsequently obtain their registration numbers with which they print their examination notification slips, which contain the candidates’ phone number and other vital data.

“These fraudsters then use this information to send messages to same candidates disguising as officials of the board or persons who have special information, access and capacity to inflate the candidates’ scores among other things.

”Their strategy is akin to that of a police officer who is unmindful of the fact that he is wearing his name tag on his uniform and when you address him by his name, he is surprised that you know his name.”

He added that the fraudsters use the information deprived of the examination notification slip printed, using the candidates’ registration number to open up a line of communication with candidates to dangle the enticing offer of awarding them higher scores in the yet-to-be-released 2019 UTME results among other mouth-watering promises.

The registrar advised candidates to disregard messages or calls from anybody claiming to have access to the board’s classified information.

“The board wishes to state emphatically that the results of the 2019 UTME have not been released,” the registrar added.

It also urged the public, particularly parents and candidates, to be wary of these dubious elements and disregard any overtures made by anybody touting their power or influence to inflate any candidate’s score.

“The board will make it public when the results are ready. As such, the channel through which candidates can view their results has been communicated to them.

” In the meantime, security operatives have picked up some of these nefarious characters and they are on the trail of others still at large,” it further added.

JAMB should just quit the grandstanding and release the result before some of these candidates die of high BP.

What is JAMB going to do with a couple of their questions without options at all or with incomplete or wrong options entirely.

Okay

This is man is doing all means to get more money so they can say he is working.

Jambites have to send their registration number to a particular code which costs 50 naira to enable them check their results, and it doesn't matters how many times you send it, you will still be ripped off 50 naira.

this government doesn't even care about the masses..

mtcheew

This man is just diverting attention away from JAMB's failure and putting all the blames on other people. He should just release the results and let the students know the way forward.

Release am naaa. After all this thing person go come get 170

Oloyede trying to be relevant at all cost is it not the same jamb dibu has been conducting before you came on board abeg pack well we know your format.

If the result is released, all these jamb result issues won't be a topic anymore.

Nigerians just derive pleasure in taking advantage of people in their most vulnerable times.. Sad!

Please jambites beware

Because of how our economy is people use every opportunity to defraud another person of their hard-earned money. The country itself is a scam....
