Claim: “Liberia Revenue Authority 2024/2025 Recruitment is open.”
Source: WhatsApp Groups
Verdict: Fake! The LRA is not recruiting, and the circulated link is old.
Full Text: The Liberia Revenue Authority was established through an Act of the National Legislature in 2013 and began operations on July 1, 2014, as a semi-autonomous agency of the government.
LRA administers and enforces Liberia’s Revenue Code of Conduct of 2000 as amended in 2011 and other related laws under which it is assigned responsibility to assess, collect, audit, and account for all national revenues and facilitate legitimate international trade through border management and enforcement.
An old link to a website has been making the rounds in professional WhatsApp groups lately.
The website claims that the Liberian Revenue Authority, a government revenue-generating arm, has opened its 2024–2025 recruitment process.
When one clicks the link, it will directly open and appear, “LRA: Registration is ongoing for the Liberia Revenue 2024/2025 recruitment; kindly press 1 to submit your application.”
The application portal for the Liberia Revenue Authority 2024/2025 recruitment is open and its requirements are:
Must be a citizen of Liberia and have no criminal record; have a valid means of identification such as a national ID or international passport.
Applicants must be physically, mentally, and medically fit.
Applicants must be computer literate and have good character, and the application also showcases the LRA’s logo.
According to the link when verifying, over 10,000 users have taken advantage of the opportunity.
After filling out the form with all of the requirements, it instructs the person to share the link. Kindly see the screenshot below.

“These scammers are sending fake job offers and recruitment notices via links, text messages, or social media, claiming to be from LRA. Do not proceed towards providing any information, as the attacker might harvest your information for dubious activities.”
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it has been determined that the material contained in the links seen here is fake.
