The Federal Government has denied online reports making the rounds that it is paying the sum of N80,000 to beneficiaries of the Survival Fund Scheme.
Steering Committee of the MSMEs Survival Fund, in a statement yesterday, warned Nigerians to be wary of such fraudulent messages.
It said, notice requesting the public or individuals to disclose their account details on a WhatsApp platform is fraudulent and should be disregarded by all and sundry.
The statement also said, such messages are not from the committee but from fraudsters trying to dupe members of the public.
“The notice requesting the public or individuals to disclose their account details on a WhatsApp platform is fraudulent and should be disregarded by all and sundry, as this message is not from the project delivery office of the scheme.
“The procedure for the implementation of all tracks of the survival fund and guaranteed off-take stimulus scheme does not require the public display of account details to individuals or groups,” part of the statement read.
