This looks like a scam/spam post – please be careful This thread doesn’t read like a genuine university announcement. Posting the same phone number repeatedly, pushing “call now”, and naming a “Dr (Mrs) Mercy” for “admission assistance” are classic red flags. If anyone pays a “form fee” or “processing fee” to a random number, it’s often gone for good.
If you’re genuinely trying to apply to Lead City University, only use the official channels on the university’s own website and verified contact details. Don’t rely on numbers posted in forums/WhatsApp groups. If you can’t independently verify the number from the university’s site, treat it as untrusted.
Practical steps:
- Do not call or pay this number, and don’t share your passport photo, ID, WAEC/NECO details, or bank info.
- Check the university’s official website and contact the admissions office using the number/email shown there.
- If you’ve already paid, contact your bank immediately and ask about a recall/chargeback (depending on how you paid),and keep screenshots/receipts.
- Report the post to the forum mods as spam.
From a UK business angle (since this is a business forum): if you’re running a legitimate education or recruitment service, you should never market like this. Transparent company details, a proper website, written terms, and verifiable contact routes are the basics.
