Fiji’s Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources has warned members of the public to be on alert and refrain from corresponding with recent chain of emails claiming to be from the Lands department.
Ministry permanent secretary Dr Raijeli Taga has advised people to refrain from responding to fake emails such as this address – landsdepartment.hr@gmail.com
“An imposter claiming to be from the Human Resources Division under the Lands Ministry has been sending emails to Fijians and claiming money to be send through Mpaisa,” Dr Taga said.
“Members of the public are warned that the ministry will not be responsible and does not support such deceitful means from individuals claiming to represent the Lands Ministry or higher position in any public office.
“All Fiji government email addresses will have the domain as govnet,” she said.
Members of the public are advised to contact Nitesh Kumar on 9906516 or email nitesh.kumar@lands.gov.fj or visit the nearest Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources office for further clarifications.
