The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has warned Kenyans against falling prey to scammers who are harvesting their details through fake job posts.
This is after a job posting purporting to be from the hospital emerged, asking applicants for their details, which is mostly used when committing other fraudulent deals.
The hospital revealed this while flagging the fake job advertisement that was asking applicants to apply for a caregiving job for the adult department at the hospital's B71 wing.
"Beware of this fake job advertisement being shared on social media, falsely claiming to offer employment at Kenyatta National Hospital," KNH warned in a tweet.
The job required applicants to provide a medical letter, a curriculum vitae, a passport photo, an identity card, and certification documents. Important documents the hospital warned Kenyans against sharing.
The hospital further warned Kenyans that such fake job advertisements may demand they pay for the job processing. KNH clarified that it does not ask applicants to pay for jobs.
"This fake job post is designed to mislead job seekers and may attempt to collect personal information or demand payment for processing fees," the statement continued.
All applicants seeking jobs from KNH have been asked to verify job openings through its official website.
Kenyans have numerously fallen victim to fake job scammers who end up taking thousands and even millions of money without jobs.
Barely a week ago, the Public Service Commission (PSC) received disturbing reports of people masquerading as Commission staff and soliciting bribes from unsuspecting Kenyans with false promises of shortlisting, employment, and promotions within the public service.
The PSC warned the public to be vigilant and to report any individuals or groups soliciting money in exchange for jobs or promotions.
In February, it was revealed that 23 Kenyans fell victim to fake foreign jobs where they thought they were traveling to the Middle East and were duped into flying to Myanmar, where, instead of landing promising jobs as expected, they were compelled to join a scam syndicate run by a Chinese.
