The Department of State Services (DSS) has made it clear to Nigerians in search of jobs that it not currently carrying out any recruitment exercise.
In astatement today, January 5, the Service’s spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunanya said that those who engaged in misleading acts of raising false recruitment alerts or defrauding others are warned to desist from such or be ready to face the music.
“So far, the Service is sustaining efforts on clamping down on the activities of fake job syndicates illegally using its name to deceive and scam the public.”
Dr. Afunanya said that the clarification has become necessary in view of desperate efforts by fraudsters to scam unsuspecting job seekers or their sponsors.
He asked members of the public to note that recruitment into the Service is never done on monetary basis.
“Instead, it is guided by merit and transparency. Beneficiaries undergo series of screening and vetting processes and procedures through which only the best, produced by these, is taken.
” In the context of this, members of the public should be mindful of attempts by fraudulent persons and /groups to fleece them of their hard earned money. They should rather report to the Service any suspicion in this regard.”
