The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has warned members of the public to be wary of crooks who use the name of the minister to dupe unsuspecting persons with promises of getting them employment, passports and entry visas.
The ministry in a release pointed out that Madam Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey does not have authority over visas and does not control job vacancies in any sector.
‘The existence of LinkedIn and Facebook accounts bearing the Minister’s name are fake’ the statement pointed out, adding that ‘for the avoidance of doubt, Madam Botchwey is not on any social media platform and therefore has neither LinkedIn nor Facebook accounts.’
The public statement cautioned to desist from accepting requests on all social media platforms in the name of the minister.
Those who have been using the minister’s name as such have also been warned against such extortions because that is criminal. Those who encounter such miscreants are hereby advised to contact the police for immediate action.
