Don’t be Fooled! Free MBA with a Laptop? It’s a Scam! The University of Ghana has distanced itself from what it termed the University of Ghana Online MBA Admission Scam.

Hold onto your wallets, everyone! A fake advertisement promising free online courses, free laptops, and even an MBA certificate is making its way around social media, claiming to be affiliated with the University of Ghana. But let’s be clear: this is a scam, and the University of Ghana has officially denounced it.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Fake Promise: The ad boasts free online courses, a free laptop, and an MBA certificate – all seemingly too good to be true. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Misrepresentation: The ad uses the University of Ghana logo, giving it a false air of legitimacy. The University has confirmed that they are not involved in this scheme in any way.
• Targeting the Ambitious: Scammers often prey on people eager for career advancement and education. This ad targets those seeking an MBA, making it particularly deceptive.

What to do:

• Don’t click: Avoid clicking on any links or contacting the email address provided in the ad. These could be phishing attempts to steal your personal information or financial data.
• Spread the word: Share this information with your friends and family to help prevent others from falling victim to this scam.
• Be cautious: Always verify the legitimacy of any online offer before engaging with it. Look for official university websites and announcements to confirm any educational programs.
• Report it: If you encounter similar scams, report them to the relevant authorities and social media platforms.

Remember:

• The University of Ghana conducts all official online courses and programs through its authorized channels. You can find information about these on their official website.
• Free laptops and MBAs are unlikely to be offered as part of legitimate online education programs. Be wary of any such claims.
• Stay vigilant and protect yourself from online scams. Do your research, be cautious, and don’t hesitate to report suspicious activity.

Sharing this information can help protect others from falling victim to this deceptive scam. Let’s keep the online learning space safe and reliable for everyone!

Don’t let scammers steal your dreams or your money. Stay informed, stay safe, and remember: free MBAs with laptops don’t grow on trees!
