The Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria CSN, overseeing all the activities of the Catholic Church in Nigeria has said the church is not doing anything like giving out money to anyone through any links or group.
This is coming on the wake of a post asking unsuspecting victims to click on a particular links and get paid.
“It has come to our notice that some unauthorized individuals or organizations are falsely using the “Catholic Relief Service” name and the Catholic Church to peddle a scam as CATHOLIC CHARITY SUPPORT scheme”.
We strongly advise the public to not broadcast such false claims on WhatsApp and social media and to not click on any fraudulent links to avoid falling victim to phishing scams.
If you suspect, or have been the victim of a charity scam involving CRS name and logo, please contact us at reportscams@crs.org so that we may take appropriate action.
