Treat it as a scam until proven otherwise. The pattern is always the same: a screenshot of a list, a private account, urgency, and a fee that must be paid before you can "verify".
Real admission:
- Goes through JAMB CAPS and the school's official portal.
- Never requires a payment to a personal account.
- Does not need an "agent" to add your name.
- Is confirmed by the school's admissions office and JAMB, not by a WhatsApp screenshot.
What to do:
- Do not send money.
- Screenshot the conversation and report the account to WhatsApp.
- Verify any claim directly with the school's admissions office.
- If you have already paid, report to the police and your bank immediately.
No one can sell you a place that you did not qualify for. Anyone who says otherwise is taking your money.
