CDCFIB Recruitment Scam Warning
Recognize guaranteed-slot, payment and impersonation claims.
Every CDCFIB recruitment round attracts scammers selling fake job slots. They are organized, convincing, and completely fraudulent. Here's their playbook.
How the scams work
Fake job offers via SMS, WhatsApp, or email claiming you've been "selected" — with payment required to secure the slot. Fake portals collecting application fees for recruitments that don't exist. "Connection" agents claiming insider influence at the Board. Altered documents — fake appointment letters sold for cash.
The rules that protect you
CDCFIB recruitment is free — any payment demand is fraud. Real communication comes through official channels, not random phone numbers. Appointment letters are verifiable through official records. And no one can sell you a government job: merit lists are published, and slots aren't transferable property.
If you're targeted
Stop engaging, keep the messages as evidence, and report to law enforcement. Warn others in applicant groups — these scams survive on each victim staying quiet.
