The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (OPMC) is warning members of the public of a fraudulent online scheme currently circulating on social media titled ‘Jeremiah Manele SBD900 Development’.
“Theres no such thing as SBD900 PM Grant from Prime Minister.”
The scam is using the name and image of Prime Minister Hon. Jeremiah Manele to mislead Solomon Islanders into believing they can access a cash grant of SBD900 by clicking an online link.
“This is false and misleading.”
Prime Minister Manele has made it clear that there is no such development grant. The only government funds available to Solomon Islanders are provided through the Constituency Development Funds (CDF).
Any other so-called “grant” or “cash prize” promoted in the Prime Minister’s name is fake.
The public is strongly advised to:
- Be cautious of online messages offering cash grants or prizes.
- Do not click on suspicious links or provide personal or banking details.
- Check the official Government website (www.solomons.gov.sb) or the Prime Minister’s official Facebook page for accurate information.
The OPMC reminds citizens that scams of this nature are designed to deceive people and obtain their personal and financial information. The best protection is awareness and caution when online.
