JAMB Steps Back from Seeking Funds for UTME Rescheduling for Those Who Missed 2025 Exam, According to Representative
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is putting its foot down and drawing a hard line against a scam that's been targeting unsuspecting UTME candidates. These scoundrels claim they can reschedule missed exams, but for a hefty price of ₦15,700. And guess what? They ain't affiliated with JAMB, pal!
In a brutally honest statement, JAMB's spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, set the record straight. According to Benjamin, it's nothing but a crooked scheme, orchestrated by some shady characters. These characters have set up a fake account at Sterling Bank for the express purpose of ripping off unsuspecting students.
The account number they've provided—8520641017—is as fake as the people behind the scam. Benjamin issued an urgent warning to the public to ignore the scam altogether and called on Sterling Bank to take immediate action against this criminal activity.
Here's what I mean about this scam: some deceitful individuals are tricking students into thinking they can reschedule their missed UTME for a fee. But it's just a scam, a cheap, underhanded attempt to rip off students. JAMB has no affiliation with these scammers, and the account details they've provided are bogus.
JAMB has handed the matter over to the authorities, who are busy tracking down the scammers. But there's one group that shouldn't be hard to catch: those with dodgy biometrics who might have missed their exam due to verification issues. JAMB is eating their lunch right now, sifting through the data and identifying the culprits. Charges are on the way for those with no discrepancies, who'll be invited to retake the exam for free.
It's important for students to stay vigilant and on their toes. This scam is just the tip of the iceberg, and there may be more just like it around the corner. Remember, folks: JAMB doesn't charge a dime for rescheduling exams or for anything else after you've completed your registration.
Don't let these scam artists steal your dreams or your money. Stay alert and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Keep fighting the good fight, students. And clean house, Sterling Bank. These crooks need to be stopped once and for all!
