The Chief Medical Director of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Professor Chris Bode, yesterday raised the alarm on a fake recruitment platform for doctors.

 

He said the management of the hospital is asking the Inspector-General of Police to assist in fishing out the culprits.

 

Bode, who made the clarifications in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, said LUTH had nothing to do with the site.

 

The statement said: “Our attention has been drawn to an online platform purporting to recruit fresh House Officers for LUTH, through Medimail247 E-Parcel Service. Intending applicants have been asked to buy forms for N5000 and pay a Parcel Charge of 1750. The email address used is [email protected].

 

“The general public is hereby advised that this service is a scam intended to defraud unwary doctors and fleece them of their money. LUTH has nothing to do with this site and we implore that nobody should patronize the fraudsters.”
