Delta: Be Wary Of Scammers Demanding Money To Help Facilitate Payment, Ogidi-Gbegbaje Tells Pensioners

By Daniel Dafe

The Delta State Bureau for Pensions has said that the Bureau is in receipt of reports indicating that certain fraudulent individuals are placing calls to Pensioners and demanding money from them to facilitate the payment of their pension benefits.

Sir Edwin E. Ogidi-Gbegbaje (KSM), Chairman, Delta State Bureau for Pensions, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

According to the statement, such calls are not emanating from the Bureau.

The Bureau urged all Pensioners in the state to be wary of such calls from scammers, calling them to bear in mind that pension benefits are processed and paid without any form of demand for inducement by the Bureau.

“In the event of such calls, do not provide any personal information or make any payment. Instead, forward the caller’s phone number to 07085900707 for onward transmission to the Security Agencies for investigation and necessary deterrent action.
