Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, has raised an urgent alert about fraudulent emails being circulated to deceive unsuspecting admission seekers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university confirmed that the fake emails, disguised as official communication, falsely claim to offer admission and demand acceptance fee payments through suspicious links that have no connection to LASU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fake Admission Emails in Circulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to LASU management, the fraudulent messages are being sent from email addresses that do not belong to the institution or the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students and parents are advised to note that authentic LASU emails always end with \u201c@lasu.edu.ng\u201d<\/strong> and not from free domains such as Gmail or Yahoo. This, the school says, is the first sign of a scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

False Admission Offers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The emails reportedly go as far as listing candidates as admitted into LASU, but the university has confirmed that such names were never shortlisted for admission.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LASU stressed that genuine admission offers can only be verified through JAMB CAPS<\/strong> or the official LASU admission portal.<\/strong> Any claim outside these channels is fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarification on Payment Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The university also restated that it does not send payment links through emails. All official payments, including acceptance fees and tuition, must be made only via LASU\u2019s\u00a0official e-payment platform<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any other payment request should be treated as fraudulent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protecting LASU\u2019s Image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Management described the scam as the handiwork of criminal elements seeking to mislead candidates and tarnish the university\u2019s reputation. The institution reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability<\/strong> in its admission process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
