One day after registration, NYSC prospective corpers who had registered started receiving callup letters.

Suspicion arose when the callup numbers on the callup letter differed from that in the green card. Some who saw callup letters didn't see the states posted to. Some received SMS of callup numbers different from that on the green card.

Then, later in the evening a broadcast message was circulated around social media which goes thus:


Nysc Abuja
2016 BATCH 'A' MOBILIZATION: FRAUD ALERT!

The attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to the fraudulent mailing of “Call-up letters” to prospective Corps members of the 2016 Batch 'A'.

Management wishes to inform prospective Corps members that posting to states of deployment has not commenced; but will be done at the appropriate time in line with our laid down processes.


The so-called “Call-up letters” being mailed to prospective Corps members now are handiwork of cyber criminals and should, therefore, be disregarded.

Prospective Corps members are particularly warned not to make payments for posting or change of posting as that is most likely the motive of the cyber criminals. Management will inform prospective Corps members as soon as their posting letters are ready for printing online or delivery to their institutions of graduation.

Signed:
Management

The question is: was the website truly hacked? Because some who contacted officials of NYSC reported that they denied that posted has started. Who can verify?
