Police have dismissed as fake the recruitment message circulating on social media and suspect it is someone launching a con to defraud people of money and remind the public that they do not use third parties for recruitment.
In a statement yesterday, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: “Members of the public and all potential applicants are advised to ignore this fake message.
“The public should not submit application letters, life history, copies of identity documents and educational qualifications, to anyone, third party or officer-in-charge at a police station on or before 7 May 2023, as alleged in the false message.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police assures the public that formal communication will be made accordingly, through the appropriate media channels, when the normal recruitment process is rolled out and open to potential applicants to submit the relevant documents.”
Police have launched full scale investigations into the import and origins of the message, adding that they do not engage third parties to conduct recruitment on its behalf.
“The public is strongly advised to be wary of these unscrupulous elements and therefore report at any nearest police station or contact the National Complaints Desk on telephone number (24) 2703631 on the activities of these criminals who in most cases intend to dupe innocent members of the public of their money,” said Asst Comm Nyathi. – The Herald
