Accra, Ghana – The Ministry of the Interior has sounded a public alarm regarding a deceptive recruitment message widely circulating on social media, falsely promising entry into the Ghana Security Services. The fraudulent scheme directs individuals to complete a “Data Gathering Form” accessible via a Google Forms link (https://forms.gle/TQ5pXEB22i1S1H5P9) and specifies a submission deadline of June 10, 2025.
The Ministry emphatically states that this message is entirely false and unauthorized. It clarifies that no individual, group, or third-party platform has been given permission to conduct recruitment or collect personal data on its behalf. Crucially, the Ministry stressed that legitimate recruitment processes for any of the Security Services are exclusively advertised through recognized national dailies and are never conducted through Google Forms or similar online platforms.
The public is strongly urged to disregard this misleading message and to exercise extreme caution. Engaging with the provided link or sharing any personal information is highly discouraged, as such actions could lead to severe consequences including identity theft, significant financial loss, or other forms of cybercrime. The Ministry emphasizes its commitment to ensuring internal security and maintaining law and order, and as such, is working to combat such fraudulent activities.
For any further inquiries or to report suspicious activities related to recruitment or any other matter, the Ministry has provided official contact channels.
The Public Affairs and Communications Unit can be reached at 0303-956596, or individuals can send an email to info@mint.gov.gh. Additionally, the Ministry maintains official presence on social media platforms including Facebook (Ministry of the Interior, Ghana) and X (@MinterGh), and provides comprehensive information on its official website, www.mint.gov.gh.
