‎EXCLUSIVE: CAC Exposes 15 Fake Companies Running Multi-Million Naira Scams Across Nigeria

‎

‎
‎
‎
‎
‎The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has sounded a nationwide alarm, declaring 15 companies operating with forged registration numbers as completely illegal and fraudulent.
‎
‎In a strongly worded public notice posted on its official X handle Wednesday evening, the CAC warned Nigerians to immediately cease all transactions with the listed entities, revealing that the fake companies have been using counterfeit RC and BN numbers to defraud unsuspecting citizens and businesses.
‎
‎“This alert is in response to a surge in public complaints about dubious and suspicious corporate activities,” the Commission stated, adding that several of the fake entities have been linked to advance-fee fraud, phony investment schemes, and contract scams.
‎

‎
‎The CAC emphasized that none of the registration numbers exist in its database, confirming the companies were never legally incorporated.
‎
‎“Any individual or corporate body transacting with these entities does so at their own peril,” the statement read.
‎
‎The Commission has now directed banks, government agencies, and private organizations to freeze all accounts and contracts linked to the fraudulent entities while investigations continue in collaboration with law enforcement.
‎
‎Nigerians have been urged to:
‎
‎- Instantly verify any company on the CAC public search portal (search.cac.gov.ng)
‎- Demand certified true copies of Certificate of Incorporation and Form CAC 1.1 before payment
‎- Report any entity pressuring for urgent payment without proper documentation
‎
‎The CAC says whistleblowers who provide credible information leading to the arrest of operators of these fake companies will be protected and rewarded.
‎
‎This is the largest single exposure of fake corporate entities by the Commission since Registrar-General Hussaini Ishaq Magaji assumed office.
