Nigeria Customs Service has warned applicants seeking for
employment not to fall into the hands of fraudsters, saying that it is not
presently recruiting and that auction of seized or overtime cargo remain
suspended till further notice.
A statement issued by the Deputy Public Relations Officer,
Joseph Attah, on behalf of the service said the reminder is necessary to
prevent people from being defrauded by criminal elements who open fake Facebook
accounts in the name of the Comptroller –General of Customs, Col Hameed Ibrahim
Ali (rtd) advertising job vacancies, auction and contracts.
The statement 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.
The statement further advise applicants that 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.
