The management of Anchor University has issued a warning to parents and guardians about fraudulent individuals attempting to impersonate university officials, particularly the Registrar and Admission Officers. A specific case involves a woman falsely claiming to represent the university by congratulating individuals and issuing fake admission letters.
According to the university, the impersonator is demanding a payment of N200,000 as an acceptance fee, directing unsuspecting parents to transfer funds to a fraudulent account with the following details:
- Account Name: Tuition and Acceptance Fees
- Account Number: 6554117127
- Bank Name: Moneipoint Microfinance Bank PLC
Fake Admission Letters Circulating Anchor University clarifies that the admission letter being circulated by the fraudster is counterfeit and bears no resemblance to the official document issued by the institution. The official admission letter from Anchor University is printed on letterhead and does not reference "P.M.B. 170, Ayobo Road."
Payment Caution The university strongly advises prospective parents and guardians not to make payments to any external bank accounts. All official payments, including acceptance fees, are processed strictly through the university's online portal.
Anchor University urges parents to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to this fraud.
