Nigeria Revenue Service Warns Against Fake Job Scams

The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has alerted the public regarding a fraudulent recruitment notice circulating on social media, falsely claiming to offer employment opportunities within the agency. The advertisement, titled “Federal Inland Revenue Service – FIRS Job Vacancy – Replacement,” is not legitimate and did not originate from the NRS.

The agency clarified that it has not commenced or authorized any recruitment exercise and has not appointed any individual, consultant, agent, or third party for recruitment. The NRS emphasized that it succeeded the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and advised the public to be wary of recruitment announcements made in the name of FIRS.

Job seekers are urged to disregard the fake notice and to be cautious when responding to recruitment advertisements, messages, or links. The NRS specifically warned against making payments or sharing personal information in response to the fraudulent exercise.

Genuine recruitment would be communicated through official channels, and the NRS encouraged verification of recruitment-related information.
