NHT warns public about fraudulent social media accounts selling houses

The National Housing Trust (NHT) in Jamaica is alerting the public to be cautious of fraudulent social media accounts falsely advertising NHT houses for sale. The organization stressed that legitimate NHT housing solutions are exclusively allocated through established policies and official application procedures, not social media platforms.

In a statement released on Thursday, the NHT urged members of the public to verify the authenticity of any social media page, message, or advertisement that appears to represent the organization. They advise against sharing any personal information or engaging with such potentially deceptive content.

The trust stated it is actively monitoring the situation and collaborating with relevant authorities to address the unauthorized use of its name and branding. For accurate information regarding NHT housing developments, products, and services, the public should rely on the organization's official website and authorized communication channels.
