Survival Fund List of Shortlisted Successful Candidates is Fraudulent

The Project Delivery Office of the N75billion MSME Survival Funds Scheme has reacted to a website "http://www.fg-new-year-fund.xyz/?m=0#1614570870708" https://bit.ly/3b31DIX shared across the Social Media which instigates Nigerians to check their names on a list of Shortlisted candidates for the MSME Survival Funds Scheme.

The PDO in a public service announcement, Sunday, alerted applicants of the Scheme to beware of fraudulent activities of individuals who are bent on nothing but laying traps for unsuspecting Nigerians to rip off their hard-earned income.

"The attention of the Steering Committee of the Survival Fund has been drawn to a portal purported to be from the Project Delivery Office (PDO) inviting Nigerians to check the list of Shortlisted candidates for the Survival Fund Grant.

"For the avoidance of doubt, the committee has not posted any list of Shortlisted candidates.

"The process of Grants and benefiting from all the Schemes under the Programme are done transperantly online and in line with laid down procedures as stipulated on the official Website.

"Nigerians are therefore advised to beware of fraudulent sites and note that the only verifiable platform to access infirmation on the Survival Fund remains survivalfund.gov.ng. Please beware of fraudsters," the PDO stated.

This is the second time since the launch of the Programme in 2020 an attempt has been made by Fraudsters to prey on unsuspecting Nigerians using the logo and design of the MSME Survival Funds Scheme scheme.
