The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has cautioned the public against a fake appointment letter currently circulating on social media, describing it as a scam.
In a statement titled “SCAM ALERT!!!”, the Service clarified that it is “not issuing appointment letters at this stage of its recruitment exercise.” It further emphasized that the letters in circulation are “FAKE and should be disregarded.”
The NCS explained that the recruitment process is still ongoing and has not reached the stage of issuing appointment letters.
It stated that “the ongoing recruitment process is still at the examination stage; the Superintendent Cadre recently completed their CBT across the six geopolitical zones, while the Inspector and Customs Assistant Cadres also just concluded their online CBT.”
According to the Service, the fake letters are “another attempt by fraudsters to mislead unsuspecting applicants.”
The NCS urged applicants and the general public to remain calm, avoid sharing unverified information, and rely only on official updates from its verified communication channels.
It advised the public to follow the Nigeria Customs Service on its authentic social media platforms and website.
