Beware! Fake Nigeria Immigration Recruitment Website Targets Job Seekers
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has issued a strong warning to the general public about fraudulent recruitment websites attempting to deceive unsuspecting applicants—particularly the site http://niscareer.org.ng.
With the 2025 Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) recruitment set to begin on July 14, 2025, scammers have launched fake portals designed to collect money and steal personal information from job seekers.
Fake Website Alert: www.niscareer.org.ng
The fraudulent website, niscareer.org.ng, falsely claims to be an official portal for Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment. Once you land on the site, you’re greeted with a misleading notice:
“This is to notify the public that The Nigeria Immigration Service does not have any agent for the online application. Therefore, you are to make the payment of ₦5,000 Replacement Application fee on this website… and you will get a confirmation of approval for your application if successful.”
This message is a scam. The Nigeria Immigration Service does not charge any application fee for recruitment and has no affiliation with this website.
The Only Official Recruitment Portal
For all current and upcoming recruitment under the CDCFIB—including roles in NIS, NSCDC, NCoS, and FFS—the only valid portal is:
👉 https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng
This is the government-approved platform where applicants can submit their details, upload documents, and receive official updates—completely free of charge.
Why You Should Avoid Fake Recruitment Sites
Fraudulent websites like niscareer.org.ng are designed to:
- Steal your personal information
- Trick you into making fake payment transfers
- Send phishing emails or links that compromise your device
- Leave you disqualified from genuine recruitment if caught applying through multiple platforms
In some cases, scammers may even use stolen information for identity theft or sell your data to third parties.
What To Do If You’ve Visited the Fake Site
If you’ve already visited the site or made a payment:
- Report it immediately to the Nigeria Immigration Service using official contact details on their verified website.
- Do not share any more personal data or banking details.
- Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and report to your bank if needed.
Statement from Nigeria Immigration Service
“The Nigeria Immigration Service reserves the right to prosecute any individual or group found to have fraudulently gained access to this site or information contained in it. Applicants are therefore advised to apply directly and exclusively through the official recruitment portal.”
How to Stay Safe When Applying Online
Here are some quick tips to protect yourself:
- Always double-check URLs before entering personal information.
- Government recruitment portals in Nigeria typically end in “.gov.ng”.
- Never pay to apply for a federal government job—application is always free.
- If you’re unsure, contact the relevant agency via their official channels before taking action.
Final Reminder
The 2025 Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment will only be conducted via the official CDCFIB portal:
👉 https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng
✅ Do NOT pay any fee.
❌ Avoid third-party recruitment agents or websites.
