US embassy warns Nigerians over visa fraud circulating on social media
The United States Mission has warned Nigerians against a fraudulent visa report being circulated on social media.
The fraudulent visa press release had claimed that the US was issuing a new type of work visa to Nigerians.
But the US Mission on Friday in a visa fraud alert urged Nigerians to disregard information stating that a new work visa has been created.
The statement read,
“The U.S. Mission to Nigeria is drawing the general public’s attention to a fake “press release” claiming to offer a new type of work visa to Nigerians.
“Scammers and fraudsters circulate this phony information that the new work visa applies to Nigerian citizens aged 40-55.
“The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and Consulate in Lagos is warning Nigerians not to fall victims to the scam. It is the same old scam, but in fresh packaging – don’t become a victim!
“If you have questions about whether visa information is legitimate, please refer only to official sources: travel.state.gov, ng.usembassy.gov/visas, and www.ustraveldocs.com/ng.”
