THE Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has warned intending applicants that it is not recruiting at the moment and not auctioning seized or overtime goods until further notice.
According to a statement by Joseph Attah, deputy public relations officer, the NCS said the warning became necessary to prevent people from being defrauded by criminal elements who open fake Facebook accounts in the name of Hameed Ali, retired colonel and comptroller-general of the NCS, advertising job vacancies, auction and contracts.
The NCS said: “It is disheartening to note that despite several warnings, arrests and prosecutions, internet fraudsters are still using this online platform to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians. It is therefore imperative to advice people to stop patronizing these seemingly juicy offers on the internet, promising job, auction and contracts upon payment of some amount of money into private accounts.
“For the avoidance of doubt, NCS wishes to inform the general public that it is not undergoing any recruitment exercise. Similarly, auction of seized vehicles or overtime cargo remain suspended until further notice.
“While refusing to patronize them you could also help the Service to get rid of the fraudsters by reporting suspicious offers online or traditional media to the nearest Customs formation,” he stated.
