This is from Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) but I think it can be helpful to people.
The Director of Corporate Affairs at the NDDC, Mrs Seledi Thompson-Wakama, issued the warning regarding the activities of fraudsters offering non-existent postgraduate scholarships to unsuspecting victims in a statement released in Port Harcourt yesterday.
Thompson-Wakama revealed that the fraudulent emails, purportedly sent from
nddcregistry@gmail.com and claiming to be from the NDDC’s ‘Board Registry,’ invite recipients to a fictitious document verification and authentication exercise.
According to her, the purported exercise is scheduled to take place from May 19 to May 21 at Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
“Members of the public are hereby advised that the NDDC has no affiliation with this fraudulent selection process,” she stressed.
She further clarified that all official communication concerning the commission’s scholarship programme is conducted exclusively through the official NDDC portal: www.scholarship.nddc.gov.ng.Former beneficiaries of the commission’s programmes and prospective applicants to verify all information through the NDDC’s official website: www.nddc.gov.ng,” she concluded.Disregard the email and report similar emails sending such scam information to them.
