CAC Issues Disclaimer, Says The Commission Doesn’t Request Payment To Update Registration

The Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, has urged the general
public to disregard a message circulating in the media purportedly
emanating from the Commission requesting for companies to make
payment to update their status in the CAC database.

In a Notice made available to Nairalaw, the CAC said the
message did not emanate from them.

“The General Public should disregard the message below
purporting to be from the Corporate Affairs Commission

“Please note that the Commission does not request payment to
update the status of any registered entity and transactions with
the Commission are done strictly via Official Website Addresses as
follows:

https://www.cac.gov.ng^[1]
https://www.pre.cac.gov.ng^[2]
https://www.post.cac.gov.ng^[3]“

The fake message is suspected to be work of fraudsters aimed at
defrauding persons. The fraudsters send links to emails of entities
telling them that their registrations are inactive and asked them
to revalidate their profile. A separate link is also sent to the
companies which should be used for payment to secure the company
name.
