BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS IMPERSONATING NCS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) warns the public about fraudulent schemes on social media, where scammers falsely claim to represent the service for auction or recruitment purposes. These fraudsters take advantage of people’s trust and lack of knowledge, promoting fake auctions and recruitment scams allegedly sanctioned by the NCS.
The service wishes to clarify that auctions of seized/overtime goods are never conducted via any social media platform. Any such claims on social media should be treated as fraudulent and promptly reported. All seized/overtime goods have a laid-down Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for disposal in line with the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023. It is pertinent to state that the only portal for e-auction in NCS is https://auction.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng.
For authentic updates about the operations of NCS, we strongly encourage the public to verify information exclusively through the official NCS website, www.customs.gov.ng. Additionally, you can contact our help desk lines through – 07037891156, 0201889889, and 02018898888. You can also reach out to NCS formations nationwide.
Furthermore, our trusted official social media hubs for reliable, accurate and timely updates about NCS are as follows:
* Facebook: CustomsNG
* X (Formerly known as Twitter): @CustomsNG
* TikTok: @Nigeria_Customs
* Instagram: Official_CustomsNG

Our commitment remains unwavering in protecting the public from fraudulent activities. We implore all Nigerians to exercise vigilance and prudence when approached with unverified offers or announcements regarding NCS auctions or recruitment. Any suspicious activities should be reported to the nearest Customs formation or through our official communication channels listed above for immediate assistance.
