A job advert promising thousands of openings at KCB Foundation is making the rounds on social media in Kenya, and it looks convincing enough to fool a hopeful applicant scrolling quickly through their feed. But here is the thing: it is completely fake.
Africa Check has confirmed that KCB Bank Kenya has not placed any such advertisement. The graphic circulating online is not from the bank or its foundation, and anyone who has seen it should simply ignore it.
Scams like this one tend to spike when job seekers are most vulnerable, and they can lead people to share personal information or pay fees to fraudsters posing as recruiters. If you see a job advert from a major institution, always verify it directly on that organisation's official website or verified social media pages before taking any action.
