The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has issued a crucial scam alert regarding the escalating activities of fraudulent entities preying on unsuspecting individuals through social media platforms, falsely claiming association with the NCS for purposes of auctions or recruitment. NCS also stated that auctions of seized goods are never conducted via any social media platform. Any such claims made on social media should be treated as fraudulent and reported to the NCS. We implore everyone to exercise vigilance and prudence when approached with offers or announcements regarding customs auctions or recruitment. Any suspicious activities should be reported to the nearest customs office or through our official communication channels for immediate assistance.”
