In a bid to safeguard citizens from potential scams, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has issued a warning regarding fraudulent messages circulating through various channels, including social media and cell numbers. The BISP emphasizes that all legitimate messages are exclusively sent from the designated number 8171, and any received from other numbers should be considered fake.
To ensure accurate and reliable information, citizens are encouraged to refer to the official social media accounts and website of the BISP. These platforms serve as trustworthy sources for authentic details about the programs offered by the BISP.
The cautionary note comes in response to deceptive messages falsely claiming the approval of stipends for beneficiaries. These fraudulent messages often request contact details under the guise of transferring funds or assure individuals of inclusion in the BISP program, along with the issuance of stipends. The BISP clarifies that genuine messages from their end never guarantee financial assistance without proper verification and documentation.
Citizens are urged to exercise vigilance and verify the authenticity of messages related to the BISP. By staying informed through official channels, individuals can protect themselves from falling victim to potential scams and ensure their participation in legitimate BISP programs.
