What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. The page names a presidential youth programme and shows a banner that appears to mix emblems and flags of Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda, with a "PYES PROGRAMME" label.

  2. The form asks for Your Name, Phone Number, Country ("Country you currently live in"), Region/State/County and "Have You Applied Before?", then an APPLY NOW button. It asks for no ID number or bank detail on this page.

  3. The money is only stated in the preview text: "Get 50,000 upto 250,000 Monthly". No currency is given.

  4. The page claims an official address (P-YES[.]gov[.]ng) in its preview data but is hosted on pyesportl[.]empower-youth[.]life.

  5. A star rating ("4.1 average based on 16548 reviews") is shown under the form.

  6. What happens after APPLY NOW (where the details go, any fee, a share step or a later page) was not captured.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You see a post or link saying a government program is giving out food aid, a subsidy or cash to everyone who registers.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The link opens a page with the program's name, bright official-looking headings and a form labeled as the official or online registration.

  3. 3

    Step 3: The form asks for your full name, mobile number, email, full home address, the type of ID you hold and the people in your household.

  4. 4

    Step 4: The page is not run by the government, so there is no aid behind the form. The details you enter can be collected and used for more scams, and the page earns money from the adverts it shows.

✓ Do this

  • Check aid programs only on the agency's official website or social media pages, typed in or searched yourself.
  • Ask your local government office in person if you are unsure whether a program is real.
  • Report the page or post on the platform where you saw it.
  • Warn family members who may have shared or filled in the form.

✗ Avoid this

  • Do not enter your name, mobile number, address or ID details on a registration form reached from a shared link or a free blog.
  • Do not post your phone number or personal details in the comments of a page like this.
  • Do not trust a page because it says "official" or uses the program's real name.
