The attention of the general public has been drawn to a fraudulent notice posted on various social media platforms announcing a wide range of job vacancies and employment opportunities at West Hills Mall.<\/p>\n

The Management of West Hills Mall today categorically dismissed as unauthorized and false, an announcement flaunting several job openings and attractive terms of service to the public and has advised job seekers to ignore it and report any related dealings to the Police.<\/p>\n

On July 24, 2017, a suspicious announcement promising the availability of a wide range of job openings was posted on Facebook and has, since last Sunday, gone virile across most social media platforms, particularly on Whatsapp.<\/p>\n

The post announces employment opportunities in over a dozen job categories, including IT Engineers, Waiters and\u00a0Waitresses ,\u00a0Plumbers, Secretaries, Security Drivers, Beauticians, Receptionists and \u2018Accountant Electricians\u2019 among others and promises free meals, free accommodation and \u201con the job tuition\u201d for successful job applicants. It also promises a handsome salary for prospective workers, ranging from Ghc150 to Ghc600 and directs interested persons to call or make enquiries from \u201cthe Resource Manager\u201d whose number was given\u00a0as:\u00a00556 186 250.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a complete hoax, hastily designed to rip off unsuspecting and desperate job-seekers. It first popped up on the Facebook page of a certain Daniel Antwi on July 24 and is now everywhere,\u201d Marketing Manager, Michael Oduro Konadu told journalists.<\/p>\n

Mr.\u00a0Konadu cautioned that the management of the mall is not responsible for recruiting personnel or workers for its tenants and stressed that the real purpose of the advert is to extort monies from innocent job-seekers as a fee of Ghc 70.00 is demanded by the fraudsters as \u2018registration fee\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a ridiculous scam which smacks of ignorance about how the mall operates, but if the fraudsters are not exposed sooner, it is possible that certain individuals \u2013 especially the youth and some desperate job-seekers, may easily fall for it,\u201d said Centre Manager, Jonathan Lotter.<\/p>\n

The Weija District Police Headquarters is on the alert and is working to track down the source of the false announcement.<\/p>\n
