It implied that the scammers’ only goal was to defraud people of their hard-earned money.
“These rogues use fake social media platforms, like WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook and Messanger to make all sorts of demands from members of the public in the name of the vice chancellor.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Prof. Egbewole does not operate on any of those social media platforms.
