Nigerian Student Loan Alert: Spotting the NELFUND Scams.

NELFUND (Nigerian Education Loan Fund) just issued a warning about a fake student loan portal making the rounds. Seems some folks are trying to impersonate the real deal. This isn’t exactly new; we’ve observed similar phishing attempts targeting government programs before.

The bogus message points students to a shady link – gvly.xyz/Nelfund-Student-Loan – claiming it’s the official NELFUND student loan registration. NELFUND is adamant: it’s a scam. They’re urging everyone to ignore it and definitely not hand over any personal details. The real portal is only through NELFUND’s official channels.

It’s worth noting that these scams often surface when a program gains traction. Think of it as a twisted form of validation.

The agency is reminding applicants to be extra careful online. A good rule of thumb: always double-check announcements on the official NELFUND website and their verified social media accounts. If something feels off, report it.

This advisory is NELFUND’s latest move to protect students and maintain the integrity of the loan application. Still, a more proactive approach to cybersecurity might be beneficial in the long run. This challenge requires constant vigilance. NELFUND needs to stay one step ahead.
