The US embassy in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, at the weekend alerted the general public about a fake “press release” claiming to offer a new type of work visa to Nigerians seeking to relocate from the West African nation to the United States.
The US mission said the scammers and fraudsters circulate this phoney information that the new work visa applies to Nigerian citizens aged 40 to 55 years.
According to a statement sent to The Africanscholar from the US mission in Abuja, “the US embassy in Abuja and consulate in Lagos is warning Nigerians not to fall victims to the scam. If you have questions about whether visa information is legitimate, please refer only to official sources.”
