NRS: Fake FIRS Job Advert Circulating Online

The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has warned Nigerians against a fraudulent recruitment notice circulating online in the name of the defunct Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). In a public notice titled “Fraudulent Recruitment Notice” and shared on its official X account on Monday, the NRS said the fake notice, titled “Federal Inland Revenue Service – FIRS Job Vacancy – Replacement,” had been circulated on social media and other platforms. According to the Service, the notice claims to offer employment opportunities and directs applicants to submit their details through an email address provided in the advert. The NRS said the notice was fraudulent and did not originate from the agency.

The Service reminded the public that FIRS had been succeeded by the NRS and stressed that it had neither authorised nor commenced the recruitment exercise referenced in the circulating notice. It also said it had not appointed any individual, agent, consultant or third party to conduct recruitment on its behalf. The NRS urged Nigerians to disregard the advert and exercise caution when responding to recruitment messages, links or requests for personal information. It advised job seekers to independently verify recruitment information through the NRS’s official website and authorised communication channels, stressing that any genuine recruitment exercise would be formally announced through those platforms.
