The attention of the Management of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) has been drawn to a series of scamming attempts using the name of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. (Mrs.) Nnenna Nnannaya Oti. The scamming attempts cover a range of activities aimed at duping unsuspecting members of the public. Scammers have gone as far as opening a Facebook page in her name and dropped a WhatsApp number there with which unsuspecting people communicate with scammers thinking they were communicating with the VC. They make all sorts of promises such as the offer of admission and employment, connection with Abuja for an appointed position, etc. The scammers then attempt to solicit and extort money from the people through any means or to lure people to a meeting with the “VC” at their specified locations.
