ABUJA, Nigeria – Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption(PAC), Professor Itse Sagay has warned Nigerians to beware of fraudsters currently using his name and office to defraud unsuspecting people.
Prof Sagay who made the revelation said that though the way the letter was composed by the scammer is enough to convince many that he is not the originator, he still feels that Nigerians should be alerted of the intention of criminals to deprive them of hard earned money.
“Please find attached below a ‘419’ e-mail by which a fraudster is attempting to use my name to scam money from innocent but gullible Nigerians. Although the clear illiteracy of the scammer should reveal to anyone that I am not the author of the letter, I still feel that Nigerians should be made aware that the email is from a criminal who intends to deprive them of their hard earned money”, he said in an email.
Kindly publish my disclaimer for the benefit of innocent Nigerians.
Regards,
Prof. Itse Sagay
