The Ghana Armed Forces have cautioned the public against the patronage of fake recruitment posts on social media.
According to Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), there is a fraudulent Facebook account created in the name of GAF with the name Asinyo Inno. This Facebook account advertises the sale of protocol recruitment forms for interested applicants. Numerous accounts with such info keep emerging on social media, hence the Armed Forces has cautioned against the patronage of these fake recruitment posts.
An account with the name Mathias Sarpong, with contact +233595577684 is among the fraudulent accounts on social media scamming innocent citizens in the name of recruitment. Beware!!!
Ghana Armed Forces has however issued a statement urging the general public that GAF does not use any intermediary to conduct recruitment.
It must be noted that GAF recently published 2022 enlistment in ONLY two national daily newspapers (Ghanaian Times edition of 14 May 2022 and the Daily Graphic edition of 16 May 2022).
The relevant information and guidelines in respect of the eligibility criteria, sale of scratch cards at designated Ghana Post offices across the country, and the closure of the online application process on Sunday 10 July 2022 have all been indicated in the adverts. The Public especially interested applicants should accordingly comply with the laid down process as advertised in the Ghanaian Times and Daily Graphic in order not to fall prey to the fraudsters.
The Public is therefore strongly advised to desist from paying monies to any person (s) who present themselves as GAF recruiters, agents, or middlemen with the promise to help potential applicants join GAF. Interested applicants must report such individuals who present themselves as intermediaries or agents demanding payments in order to assist them, to the nearest Military Installation or Police Station. In the same vein, the interested applicants who choose to pay monies to agents for help are equally culpable in the fraudulent act.
