Report Suspicious Messages to the Authorities Immediately – Cyber Security Authority Urges Public
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) of Ghana has warned the general public to be cautious of fake job offers sent through text messages, emails, and social media.
In an official public alert posted on Facebook on the 22nd July, 2025, the Authority urged citizens to report any suspicious messages to help protect themselves and others from online scams.
According to the CSA, criminals are pretending to be employers to trick people into giving away their money or personal information.
The post said the scammers usually send unsolicited messages offering fake job opportunities, hoping to take advantage of job seekers.
The Authority explained that genuine job offers go through official channels. “Do not pay for job applications or interviews,” the CSA stated.
It further advised Ghanaians to always check the source of job offers and never continue conversations with unknown or suspicious contacts.
The warning comes as many Ghanaians continue to look for employment, making them easy targets for cybercriminals.
The CSA said that the spread of fake job messages through SMS, email, and messaging platforms has become a serious threat describing the way scammers operate as “Modus Operandi.
“sending unsolicited messages may look real, but they are designed to trick people” the authority affirmed.
The CSA is therefore calling on the public to be cautious and alert. It urged the public to report any suspicious activity of fraud and fake job offers.
“If you receive a message about a job offer from someone you do not know or trust, take time to verify the information before responding. Your safety starts with awareness,” the CSA stressed.

The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Abena Osei Asare has expressed concerns about the failure of the Administrator of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) Mr. Paul Adjei to honour invitation of the Committee to assist in dealing with abandoned projects cited in the 2024 Auditor-General’s report.
She emphasised that some of the projects have been abandoned for more than 20 years and it kept reoccurring in the Auditor-General’s report yearly, stressing that the GETFund Administrator could assist by prioritising these projects.
However, he has failed to personally appear before the Committee since the commencement of the Committee’s public hearing in the 9th Parliament.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General’s report on Pre-University Educational Institutions, nine (9) Institutions with 16 projects awarded by the GET Fund Secretariat had been abandoned/delayed for a period ranging between three (3) and 28 years.
Some of the affected schools include Adanwomoase Senior High School (Boys and Girls dormitory abandoned for 12 years), Atoa Senior High School (Home Economics Block abandoned for 27 years), Beposo Senior High School (Dinning Hall and Kitchen Complex abandoned for 10 years and lastly KNUST Senior High School (Three storey classroom block abandoned for 20 years).
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy continued its oversight responsibilities with a working visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) yesterday.
Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the visit formed part of efforts to familiarize members with the Authority’s operations and to explore ways Parliament could provide the necessary support.
He explained that the NPA’s work is focused on regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, a critical area for national energy security.
Mr. Bedzrah noted that the Committee is particularly interested in assessing whether the country has adequate petroleum stock to meet demand.
He noted that rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing US–Iran conflict, could have adverse effect on Ghana’s energy supply and pricing.
He further disclosed that the Committee intends to engage closely with the Authority on a proposed new petroleum bill.
According to him, a draft of the legislation will be reviewed and possibly presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
