PSC issues warning over job advertisements circulating on WhatsApp
The Public Service Commission (PSC) has issued a warning to Kenyans regarding the circulation of fake job advertisements on WhatsApp and other online platforms.
In a statement on Saturday, May 3, the Commission cautioned the public against falling victim to fraudsters posing as PSC officials who demand bribes for non-existent government jobs and promotions.
“Beware of fake jobs circulating online especially on WhatsApp. Kindly note that these are fraudsters posing as PSC staff demanding bribes for nonexistent jobs and promotions. PSC recruitment is free, transparent, and merit-based,” the statement read.
The PSC noted that all legitimate job opportunities are posted exclusively on the official PSC website and verified social media platforms.
“Verify all job postings on publicservice.go.ke or official Commission Social media platforms. Report scams to reportcorruption@publicservice.go.ke or law enforcement. Stay vigilant,” the statement added.
