BUA Group, a leading Nigerian conglomerate with interests in manufacturing, infrastructure and real estate, has warned the public about fraudulent job vacancies that have been circulating online.
The company said in a statement that it had been made aware of fraudsters promising unsuspecting members of the public job opportunities in a purported recruitment exercise via a fraudulent link.
“For the avoidance of doubt, please note that the fraudulent link did not emanate from BUA Group, neither is BUA Group currently recruiting, nor will demand payment in any form for any job recruitment exercise either now or in the future,” the statement read.
BUA Group stated that it will advertise all its vacant positions on its official website, www.buagroup.com, or its social media pages whenever it is ready to embark on a recruitment exercise.
It also urged members of the public, particularly unsuspecting applicants, to be wary of fraudulent online job opportunities purportedly by BUA Group, as anyone who entertains such invitations or deals does so at their own risk.
The company also urged anyone contacted for the purpose of the purported recruitment opportunities other than through an advertisement duly placed by BUA Group on its website, its social media pages or in national newspapers, to report such invitations to relevant law enforcement agencies.
