The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) warns that fraudsters are circulating fake employment letters, including ones reportedly generated using artificial intelligence, to deceive job seekers. The commission says it is not conducting any recruitment and advises people to treat such documents with caution.
According to NUPRC, the letters are being used to mislead individuals into believing they have been hired or selected for roles. Both outlets report that the commission has disowned the letters and has taken action by reporting the activity to relevant law enforcement agencies. NUPRC says it is awaiting the outcome of investigations.
The coverage aligns on the core message: recruitment is not ongoing, and the employment letters are not legitimate. While the outlets differ in wording, they both emphasize the same risk—fraud using realistic documentation, potentially aided by AI—and the need for verification before sharing information or paying money.
