In a stern advisory released today, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has cautioned the public to remain vigilant against potential scams. The commission, responsible for organizing and coordinating Hajj pilgrimage affairs in Nigeria, issued a disclaimer specifically targeting a suspicious phone number – 07065319181.
NAHCON emphasized that it communicates exclusively through its official channels and urged the public to disregard calls from the mentioned number or any other contact claiming to represent the commission. The warning extends to potential scams where individuals may be impersonating NAHCON officials to extract sensitive information from unsuspecting victims.
The commission’s statement further highlighted the importance of exercising caution when approached by any contact that does not align with their official communication channels. NAHCON stressed that any deviation from these established channels could indicate a potential scam.
With scams becoming increasingly sophisticated, NAHCON urged individuals to exercise heightened caution and refrain from sharing personal or sensitive information with unknown contacts. The commission emphasized that maintaining the security of personal details is crucial in preventing identity theft and financial fraud.
NAHCON reiterated the use of its official communication channels for any inquiries or information regarding Hajj pilgrimage matters. These channels include the official website, designated email addresses, and contact numbers officially provided by the commission.
As the public remains on high alert, NAHCON’s proactive approach serves as a reminder for individuals to stay informed and cautious in the face of potential scams. The commission stands committed to ensuring the safety and security of individuals involved in Hajj pilgrimage and encourages the public to report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.
