The Electoral Commission of Uganda has issued an important warning to the public about a new wave of fake recruitment messages that are spreading online. These messages pretend to offer job opportunities at the Commission, but they are completely false. The Commission has made it clear that it does not recruit staff through unofficial links or third-party websites.
Scammers are using social media, text messages, and suspicious websites to trick people into believing they can get a job at the Electoral Commission. These fake job offers often ask individuals to click on links, submit personal documents, or even send money as part of the “application process.” Unfortunately, these are all tricks used to steal your personal or financial information.
The Commission is urging everyone to be extra careful. If you receive any job offer or recruitment message claiming to be from the Electoral Commission, do not click on any strange links. Do not share your personal details, National ID, CV, or bank information with unknown sources. These are dangerous scams meant to harm you.
To stay safe, always verify job opportunities by visiting the Electoral Commission’s official website: ec.or.ug. This is the only place where real job openings from the Commission are posted. Any other source should be treated with suspicion.
The Electoral Commission is committed to keeping the public informed and safe from cyber fraud. Let your family, friends, and community know about this scam so they don’t fall victim to it. Stay alert, stay informed, and always double-check before you click.
