The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a warning to the public about fraudulent messages circulating via a spoofed version of its 66019 shortcode.
These messages are instructing candidates to reprint their examination slips for a resit examination, despite having already sat for the exam and received their results.
“We categorically state that these messages are not from JAMB. There are currently no scheduled examinations, and candidates who have successfully completed the resit examination and received their results need not be concerned. Such messages are fraudulent and intended to sow confusion,” JAMB said in a statement signed by its Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
The board explained that the only upcoming examination is the foreign examination, scheduled to be held in nine countries across Europe, the Middle East, and certain African nations. Additionally, a mop-up examination will be conducted for candidates who missed the main and resit examinations and have been granted waivers for 2025.
“We urge the public to disregard these deceptive messages. Those qualified for the mop-up examination, as specified, will be duly notified once preparations are finalised,” JAMB emphasized.
