The EFCC is warning people about a fake email going around.

The email tries to trick you into thinking you got a job with the agency, but it is a scam.

The email asks them to pay N3,354 for job placement processing.

On Thursday, the agency shared a warning on its official account.

The graphic read "BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS" and showed a screenshot of the fake email stamped FAKE.

The email came from a sender named EFCC Employment Support.

It greets people as Dear Aspiring Employee and says their application for the 2026 session has been reviewed and they were selected.

It tells recipients to send N3,354 within two days into an account held by someone calling themselves a revenue collection officer.

It promises documentation and training once payment is confirmed, with a job notice to follow within a week.

The EFCC says the email is completely fake.

It stressed that recruitment into the agency is free and that it does not charge any fee for applications, job placement, documentation or training.

The agency has warned many times that scammers take advantage of the high demand for public sector jobs by pretending to be official bodies and asking for money.

It told people to ignore any unsolicited message asking for payment over EFCC jobs and to check only the commission's official website and social media pages.

Anyone who gets such an email should report it to the right authorities and avoid paying anything.
