The management of West Hills Mall has described as “unauthorized and false” an announcement flaunting several job openings at the mall.
On July 24, 2017, a post was made on Facebook advertising the existence of a wide range of job opportunities at the mall and had, since gone viral on Whatsapp.
The employment opportunities announced by the post include; IT Engineers, Waiters and Waitresses, Plumbers, Secretaries, Security Drivers, Beauticians, Receptionists and ‘Accountant Electricians’ among others and promised free meals, free accommodation and “on the job tuition” for successful job applicants.
It also promised a handsome salary for prospective workers, ranging from Ghc150 to Ghc600 and directs interested persons to call or make enquiries from “the Resource Manager” whose number was given as: 0556 186 250.
But in a statement recently, the management of the mall dismissed the post as a “complete hoax, hastily designed to rip off unsuspecting and desperate job-seekers.”
“It first popped up on the Facebook page of a certain Daniel Antwi on July 24 and is now everywhere,” said the mall’s Marketing Manager, Michael Oduro Konadu. He therefore cautioned the general public to ignore the said announcement, saying the mall is not responsible for recruiting personnel or workers for its tenants.
“It is a ridiculous scam which smacks of ignorance about how the mall operates, but if the fraudsters are not exposed sooner, it is possible that certain individuals – especially the youth and some desperate job-seekers, may easily fall for it,” said Centre Manager, Jonathan Lotter.
The Weija District Police Headquarters is on the alert and is working to track down the source of the false announcement.
