KNH Warns Kenyans About Fake Job Scams
The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has issued a warning to Kenyans about a scam targeting job seekers. Scammers are circulating a fake job advertisement that pretends to offer employment opportunities at the hospital.
The scammers are using this fake job posting to collect personal information from unsuspecting applicants, which could later be used for fraudulent activities.
KNH alerted the public after a false job posting began circulating online, claiming to be for a caregiving position in the hospital’s B71 wing.
The job advertisement requested applicants to submit personal details, including a medical letter, a curriculum vitae (CV), a passport photo, an identity card, and various certificates. KNH has advised against sharing these important documents with anyone who is not verified.
The hospital made it clear that it does not ask job seekers to pay any fees for processing job applications. “Beware of this fake job advertisement being shared on social media, falsely claiming to offer employment at Kenyatta National Hospital,” the hospital warned in a tweet. The fraudulent ad may try to convince job seekers to pay processing fees or provide personal details that could be misused.
KNH also reminded Kenyans to verify job openings by checking their official website for genuine opportunities. They warned that such scams can lead to financial losses as scammers may demand payments or personal information under false pretenses.
This scam is just one example of the many fraudulent job offers circulating in Kenya. In the past, many Kenyans have fallen victim to similar scams, losing large sums of money while never receiving the promised job offers.
Recently, the Public Service Commission (PSC) also reported incidents of people pretending to be commission staff, soliciting bribes from job seekers under the false promise of securing employment or promotions.
Moreover, in February, a shocking case came to light where 23 Kenyans were tricked into accepting fake foreign job offers.
They believed they were traveling to the Middle East for work but were instead taken to Myanmar, where they were forced into a scam operation run by a Chinese syndicate. This highlights the growing threat of job scams in Kenya and the importance of remaining vigilant when seeking employment opportunities.
