Customs Speak On Recruitment List Currently In Circulation

Customs Warn Against Fake List In Circulation

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has warned Nigerians and the general public to ignore the list of successful candidates currently trending as regards its recruitment exercise.

The spokesperson of the service, Joseph Attah in a statement on Wednesday, denied publishing any list of successful applicants from its recruitment exercise.

He described the list in circulation as an attempt by fraudsters to “deceive and extort money from unsuspecting applicants.

“The attention of the Nigeria Customs Service has again been drawn to the unrepentant activities of internet fraudsters despite several scam alerts by NCS.

“Recent activities of these elements show criminal ingenuity, presenting fake platforms that appear seemingly genuine to deceive and extort unsuspecting applicants that the Service has released short-listed names for recruitment examination/interview.

“For the umpteenth time, NCS wishes to state that these recruitment websites/platforms are fake and should not be patronized.

He added that the websites peddling the list were fake.

“Members of the public will recall that we denied several similar fake vacancies advertisement with a promise to properly inform the public whenever we are ready. A promise we kept by advertising the vacancies in seven National newspapers.

“NCS is again warning against patronage of any release of short-listed candidates with a promise of letting successfully short-listed candidates know through their email addresses and telephone numbers soon.

“Additionally, such official release will be a news item in all NCS programmes on TV and Radio stations.

“Accordingly, all applicants are advised to disregard any invitation for recruitment examination/interview and wait patiently for the official release and invitation from the Service, please,” Attah said.
