The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has issued a public warning urging Nigerians to exercise extreme caution when dealing with individuals or organizations using the names and purported registration numbers of 15 entities that are not registered in the Commission’s official database.
The warning, delivered via a public notice on X, is a response to increasing public complaints about suspicious and fraudulent business operations.
The CAC confirmed that the following fifteen entities are operating with fake registration details:
- Famas Services Nigeria Limited – RC 216312
- Promo Dutch Investment Limited – RC 396654
- Dialack Concept Nig. Ltd – RC 297772

The CAC emphasized that any dealings with these organizations would not be protected under the law, as they lack legitimate corporate status.
To protect investors, businesses, and the public from fraudulent activities, the Commission urged Nigerians and businesses to verify all entity details before committing to any transaction by following these steps:
Check Names and Numbers: Verify company names and RC (Registration Company) or BN (Business Name) numbers using the CAC online verification portal.
Request Documentation: Request incorporation documents when engaging in sensitive or high-value transactions.
Avoid Unverified Payments: Avoid making payments to entities that cannot be verified on the CAC database.
Report Suspicious Activity: Report suspicious corporate identities to the CAC or relevant law enforcement agencies.
This publication is part of the CAC’s statutory mandate to maintain an accurate and reliable register and ensure a safe and transparent business environment in Nigeria.
