JAMB Vows To Clampdown Fraudulent Cybercafes


Officials at JAMB said they will clampdown on some cybercafes and tutorial centres who specialise in defrauding unsuspecting candidates during registration for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The warning is contained in the board’s weekly bulletin – Vol. 2, No 18, seen by Grassroot.ng on Thursday.
The board noted with dismay, the unwholesome activities of fraudulent operators of cybercafes, tutorial centres and other entities, which have formed the habit of deceiving hapless candidates by using the board’s logo and name to defraud and extort them.
“The stock-in-trade of these unscrupulous elements is to lure innocent candidates to part with their money under the guise of registering them for the 2021 to 2022 UTME/DE application documents.
“It is a criminal offence for one to use the board’s name and logo when one is not licensed by the board to do so for any reason.
