Be Wary Of Scammers, Delta SSG Warns Deltans

By Daniel Dafe

The Secretary to Delta State Government (SSG) has again reacted to the activities of some impostors who are using the name of his office to engage unsuspecting members of the public.

A statement posted on the official social media handle of the state government, said “the fraudsters use a phone number, 08023138247 and a fake WhatsApp account that has the picture of the SSG with the clear intention of defrauding many by promising political appointments and also offering non-existing contract awards from the state government.”

Continuing, the statement said: “The office of the Secretary to Delta State Government is issuing this disclaimer as an alert to the public to disregard any message or phone call in the nature of a solicitation as neither the SSG nor his office works through such a process.

“It needs to be stated that security agencies have been notified of the fraudulent activities of these faceless groups, and investigation is ongoing to unravel those behind the scam.”

“Therefore, it is in the interest of these groups of persons to desist from these unwholesome acts as anyone caught would be made to face the full wrath of the law,” the statement concluded.
