The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has alerted the public to the activities of fraudsters who, on Thursday, February 27, 2025, organized a live session on TikTok using the Commission’s logo to generate traffic and defraud unsuspecting individuals.
According to the EFCC, the fraudsters operated six fake accounts, all bearing the Commission’s logo and names of non-existent directorates.
Some of the fraudulent account names include: “EFCC of Nigeria,” “EFCC Lagos,” “EFCC Delta,” “EFCC of Benin,” “EFCC of Jos,” and “EFCC Saga.”
The EFCC has reiterated that it does not operate any official TikTok account and urges the public to disregard any social media account claiming to represent the Commission on the platform.
