The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has alleged that criminal syndicates have cloned his voice.
According to Akume, these individuals are using the fake voice recordings in an attempt to defraud prominent figures by falsely promising them federal government appointments.
“From information available to the office, the fraudsters cloned the voice of the SGF, using it to solicit money in return for federal appointments,” a statement signed by the SGF’s Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, read.
Akume also claimed that the scammers have “cloned the phone numbers of high profile individuals to solicit funds from unsuspecting members of the public.”
He warned members of the public to be wary of such schemes, in which individuals are asked to pay money to facilitate fake appointments.
“The warning becomes necessary as the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has been inundated with enquiries relating to the activities of these fraudulent individuals and groups,” he added.
