Due to this, many fraudsters are raising their heads during this period of disbursement to mislead poor people and collect their data by sending them fake messages from unknown numbers.
A high alert has been sent by the BISP Program to beneficiaries not to believe any fake messages coming from any other number than “8171”.
براہ کرم ذیل میں بی آئی ایس پی کے 8171 پروگرام کے مستفید ہونے والوں کے بارے میں تازہ ترین معلومات حاصل کریں، جنہیں اب تحصیل دفتر کے ذریعے بے نظیر کفالت میں رجسٹر ہونے کے بعد 8171 سے اپنی ادائیگیوں کے بارے میں پیغامات موصول ہو رہے ہیں۔ اس کی وجہ سے، بہت سے دھوکہ باز قرضے کی اس مدت میں سر اٹھا رہے ہیں تاکہ غریب لوگوں کو گمراہ کیا جا سکے اور ان کو نامعلوم نمبروں سے جعلی پیغامات بھیج کر ان کا ڈیٹا اکٹھا کیا جا سکے۔
Unknown number sending fake messages
Benazir Income Support Program is distributed to beneficiaries through a camp, where only women receiving a message from “8171” are allowed to enter. Otherwise, the other beneficiaries will not be accepted by the BISP team, even if they receive a message about their payment status but it is not from 8171.
In response to fraudulent activities being committed with eligible women via SMS and phone calls from unknown numbers, the BISP Program has now circulated a high alert message to inform beneficiaries of the Benazir Kafalat Program and how to check their payment status online.
Trust only 8171 messages
Rubina Khalid Saturday, Chairperson of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), warned beneficiaries not to trust phone calls from numbers other than 8171, BISP’s official number.
The beneficiaries should come to the authorized payment facilities to receive their quarterly stipends, and she warned them not to believe any number other than 8171 because they are almost certainly fake and intended to deceive.
