The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has issued a strong warning to the general public against falling victim to a fraudulent recruitment scheme circulating online, particularly via the website (link unavailable), which falsely claims to be running a protocol recruitment exercise on behalf of the Service.
In an official press release, GIS management categorically disassociated the Service from the false claims.
The GIS emphasized that it has not authorized any individual, group, or third-party platform to conduct recruitment or sell protocol forms. “No official clearance has been given by the Government for any recruitment exercise at this time,” the statement read. “When recruitment is duly authorized, it will be advertised through appropriate and credible channels, including national newspapers and our official platforms.”
The GIS further assured the public that its Intelligence Section, in collaboration with other state security agencies, is actively investigating the fraudulent portal and working to identify and prosecute those behind the scam.
The GIS cautioned the public to be vigilant and report any solicitation or communication from (link unavailable) or similar unofficial sources. “Anyone who engages with such fraudulent entities does so at their own risk,” the statement warned. Members of the public are encouraged to contact the GIS Public Affairs Department directly for verification of any recruitment-related information.
The GIS provided the following contact details for verification: info@immigration.gov.gh or 0555027024. The public is urged to exercise caution and verify any recruitment information through official channels to avoid falling prey to scams.
