The management of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has alerted the general public about a fraudulent recruitment scheme being circulated via the website GOLERNERSHUB.COM.

This site falsely claims the opening of a protocol recruitment portal.

The Service has disassociated itself from this false information and reiterated that the "GIS has not engaged any individual, group, or third-party website to conduct recruitment exercises or sell protocol forms on its behalf."

The GIS' Intelligence Section, in collaboration with other state security agencies, is currently pursuing credible leads to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators behind this fraudulent scheme.

The public has been advised to disregard and report any communication or solicitation from GOLERNERSHUB.COM or similar unofficial sources.

"Anyone who engages with such fraudulent entities does so at their own risk," the GIS warned.

According to the GIS, no official clearance has been given by the government for any recruitment exercise at this time.

The Service has therefore assured the public that advertisement will be made through the appropriate and credible channels, including the national newspapers and its official platforms when recruitment is authorized.

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has joined the many state institutions dispelling claims of ongoing recruitment.

The GAF in a statement said, "the general public is hereby informed that the Ghana Armed Forces is not undertaking any recruitments/enlistments yet."

The security institution thus noted that any such advertisement or information of any form "is fake and should be ignored."

The public is thereby urged to be wary of scammers and fraudsters.

"The general public would be informed of any future recruitments/enlistments, which are always placed only in the Daily Graphic and the Ghanaian Times," the statement added.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Prisons Service has denied advertising the recruitment of personnel as Prison Office Assistants (POAs) under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA).

The attention of the Prisons Administration has been drawn to a flyer circulating on social media that suggests so.

In a statement, the Prisons Service stated that it "strongly disassociates itself from this advertisement as it has no knowledge or information of the content on the flyer and cautions the public to treat this as fake news."

The Service noted that the public would be notified through reliable media releases as and when it has collaborated with the Youth and Employment Agency for any such initiative.

It therefore stated that "until such announcement is officially made, all such advertisement must be regarded as fake."
