The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has disowned a website currently circulating on the social media purportedly shortlisting names of applicants for recruitment examination/interview.
The Public Relations Officer of the Service, DC Joseph Attah who made the disclosure in a statement in Abuja yesterday regretted the unrepentant activities of internet fraudsters despite several scam alerts by NCS.
Attah noted that recent activities of these elements showed criminal ingenuity, presenting fake platforms that appeared seemingly genuine to deceive and extort unsuspecting applicants that the Service had released short-listed names for recruitment examination/interview.
He stated that these recruitment websites/platforms were fake and should not be patronized.
“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 (7) 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 news item in all NCS programmes on TV and Radio stations. (Note that the internet fraudsters don’t normally use the TV and Radio)”, he said.
The NCS spokesman accordingly advised all applicants to disregard any invitation for recruitment examination/interview and wait patiently for the official release and invitation from the Service.
