NUPRC uncovers AI-generated fake employment letters as fraudsters impersonate the Commission to deceive unsuspecting job seekers across Nigeria. Criminal syndicates are allegedly extorting desperate applicants, demanding money with false promises of securing employment into the upstream petroleum regulator. Commission reports the scam to law enforcement agencies, as investigations intensify to identify, arrest, and prosecute those behind the fraudulent operation. NUPRC reiterates that no recruitment exercise is ongoing, urging Nigerians to ignore unsolicited job offers and rely solely on official government channels for employment announcements. “The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission wishes to inform the general public about the proliferation of fake and AI-generated employment letters bearing the names of persons unknown to the Commission”, the statement said.
