The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has raised alarm over the usage of the Commission’s email accounts to dupe members of the public.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday signed by the Director, Corporate Affairs of the Commission, Dr. Ibitoye Abosede.
The statement urged members of the public to beware of scammers using fake NDDC email accounts.
The statement read: “The attention of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has been drawn to the activities of a malicious and dubious character that has been sending emails to members of the public, pretending to be a staff of the Commission while using a non-NDDC email account.
“We wish to advise members of the public to beware of these fake online accounts, created for the purpose of duping unsuspecting members of the public and in the process, bringing the NDDC and its management to disrepute.
“The NDDC conducts its operations using only official NDDC email addresses and has never conducted its operations using non-NDDC email addresses. We, therefore, urge the public to beware of fraudsters who are out to tarnish the image of the NDDC.
“We urge our stakeholders and the general public to be vigilant.
“Those who have genuine businesses with NDDC should please endeavour to cross check facts at the Commission’s official website: (www.nddc.gov.ng) and other NDDC social media handles”.
