The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a warning to Kenyans regarding fraudulent employment contract letters circulating under its name. These fake documents falsely promise a monthly salary of KSh 180,000 and are designed to deceive job seekers.
KeNHA shared the alert on its official X account (@KeNHAKenya), advising the public to verify any communication claiming to be from the authority before responding or sharing personal information.
Details of the Scam
- The fake contract letters appear to be official but are not authorised by KeNHA.
- Scammers often use these letters to extract fees for processing or administrative costs from unsuspecting applicants.
- The authority has not disclosed when the scam started or the number of victims targeted.
How to Protect Yourself
- Be cautious of unsolicited job offers, especially those received via WhatsApp, personal emails, or unverified social media accounts.
- Do not pay any fees or share sensitive personal details without confirming the legitimacy of the offer.
- Report suspicious correspondence directly to KeNHA through their official communication channels for verification.
KeNHA’s warning serves as a reminder for job seekers to remain vigilant and verify all employment-related communications to avoid falling prey to fraudsters.
