It is important to recognize them and stay safe.
بہت سے افراد کو حالیہ دنوں میں بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کے حوالے سے جھوٹے پیغامات موصول ہو رہے ہیں جن میں جعلی رجسٹریشن لنکس اور ادائیگی کی تاریخیں شامل ہیں۔ عوام کو چاہیے کہ وہ صرف سرکاری ویب سائٹ اور ہیلپ لائن پر ہی یقین کریں تاکہ کسی دھوکے سے بچا جا سکے۔
Why Fake Messages About BISP Are Increasing in September 2025
Scammers are taking advantage of the BISP September 2025 payment schedule. Because thousands of beneficiaries are waiting for their Rs. 13,500 installment, fraudsters are spreading false news. They send SMS with links that look official but actually steal personal information.
The rise of fake WhatsApp groups and unofficial websites has also made it easier for scammers to mislead people. Beneficiaries must understand that BISP only communicates through its official website (8171.bisp.gov.pk) and helpline (0800-26477).
