Beware of GES promotion exam fraudsters!
When it comes to the GES promotion exam, many people are unaware of the fact that the exam results are not posted online or made available anywhere other than your personal page on the GES website.
Therefore, if you are approached by someone claiming to be an agent of GES and offering to help you obtain your exam results or tell you how you did on the exam, you should immediately be suspicious of this individual.
No legitimate agency affiliated with GES will ever contact you in such a manner; these scam artists are just looking to steal your money.
Why does this happen?
In a nutshell, there are many reasons why people might be scamming you. Fraudsters want your money, and they want it now.
They know that the more pressure you feel to get a job quickly, the less likely you’ll do your due diligence when searching for promotion to the next rank.
How do we avoid getting defrauded by these criminals?
Be wary of anyone claiming to be an agent for the GES promotion exams. These people often pretend to work for the government, and they may even show you fake identification cards or other forms of identification in order to trick you into believing them.
When you are contacted by someone who claims that he or she is an agent from the government, do not divulge any personal information, such as your name, phone number, address, or contact information.
How do I report fraudulent activity on the part of these criminals?
If you have been a victim, please report this to the authorities by contacting your local police department. If you feel uncomfortable doing so, please contact the following numbers with Questions & Complaints, Call our Toll Free No. (0800-900-101) or Send us a message on Facebook (GES.GOV.GH)
What can be done to prevent such cases in the future?
There are a number of things you can do to prevent this. The most important thing is to never give out your personal information.
If you have to, use a fake name and phone number. While it’s not always safe, it is better than giving away your personal details. Second, if you’re asked for money or given an offer, don’t take the bait.
