The Rector, Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, Ondo, Dr Ademola Ebeloku has warned the general public against a social media account on Facebook created by fraudsters to defraud members of the public in his name.
In a statement signed by the Head, Information, Protocol & Passages Unit, Oluyemi Adebiyi on Sunday, the institution noted that the social media account with the name Ademola Iyanda Ebeloku has no link with the Rector of the institution.
“The attention of the Management of the Federal Polytechnic Ile-Oluji has been drawn to a fake Facebook account of the Rector created by scammers to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
“This is a fraudulent act and mischievous attempt by unscrupulous elements to defraud innocent people of their hard-earned money through Facebook using the pseudo account of the Rector.
“Members of the public are cautioned to be wary of hackers, scammers, and Yahoo-Yahoos parading themselves as Rector of Fedpoly Ile-Oluji on Facebook bearing Ademola Iyanda Ebeloku. “
“The Rector neither uses such a combination on social media nor authorizes any individual to open a Facebook account with such names on his behalf on any social media platform.
“The names on the account and the profile pictures are fake and not authorized by the Rector. Any transaction or contract deal with the scammers is purely at the owner’s risk and has nothing to do with the Rector or Management of the Federal Polytechnic Ile-Oluji”, the statement reads.
