A man named Vincent has been accused of defrauding several schools by pretending to work for NBS Television.
He claimed to be an employee connected to the station’s Youth Voice program and approached multiple educational institutions, asking for money by promising media coverage and other benefits that never materialized.
This isn’t the first time someone has tried to exploit the reputation of NBS. Another individual, Yasin Sozi, was caught in similar fraudulent activities and was arrested. These cases highlight a worrying trend where scammers use the name of well-known organizations to trick people into giving them money.
In light of these serious accusations, Next Media, the parent company of NBS Television, has launched an investigation to find out who is behind these frauds. They are determined to protect their reputation and the trust of the public.
Next Media has made it clear that neither Vincent nor Yasin Sozi has any official connection to NBS, meaning they are not employees, trainees, or even interns of the station.Next Media has urged schools and the public to be cautious.
They advise everyone to avoid engaging with anyone asking for money under the guise of doing work for NBS or any of its affiliated brands.This is especially important as the organization recently partnered with Uganda Police and the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to launch a nationwide campaign against disinformation and fake news.
With these efforts, Next Media aims to create a safer environment for schools and communities, ensuring that no one falls victim to fraud.
