 The joint admissions and matriculation board, JEM, and the police have warned candidates preparing for the 2024 unified tertiary matriculation examination, UTME, against patronising fake websites. They gave the warning at a joint news conference in Abuja. Now, the false public relations officer, Ullumiwai Djiobi, said there were several fake websites created by unscrupulous individuals with the intention of misleading candidates The ex-candidates' bewary of their tactics, saying the fake websites were designed to deceive innocent candidates into providing personal details such as registration numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers. These fake sites are designed to deceive innocent candidates into providing personal details such as registration numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers. These details are then exploited for malicious purposes. Both JEM and the Nigeria police force condemned these fraudulent activities and nearby retreated the readiness to safeguard the choice of candidates and maintain integrity of the ex-admission process. We heard parents, guardians, and whole stakeholders to ensure that candidates bring their UTME notification sleeves only from the board's approved website, www.jam.gov.ng. As a regulator, we will continue to ensure that these candidates who have expressed their interest in registering for this exercise are not misled. What these people want to do, this is their season, and we are urging candidates to note that once you receive any unsolicited message, know that it is a fraud, it is a scam. We have liberalized our processes. We have offices in all the 36 states of the Federation, including Abuja. Once you have any challenge, you can also read the ticket.
