Following reports that persons have been contacted through a Facebook page claiming to be that of the housing minister, and engaged on the possibility of purchasing land or housing units from CH&PA, the agency has issued a fraud alert to warn the public against the malicious act.
In a press release, the Central Housing and Planning Authority addressed reports that persons have been contacted through a Facebook page by a person(s) purporting to be Minister Valerie Adams-Yearwood on the possibility of conducting transactions in relation to the aforementioned services. It stated that the profile is a fake, noting that the Minister does not have a Facebook profile.
Furthermore, the release stated that there are no arrangements in place with GTT Mobile Money to accept payment for land, housing units or any other services offered by the agency.
The agency is therefore advising the public to contact its enforcement unit to register any complaints related to payment for lands, housing units and any other services being offered via the agency’s Facebook page.
