8171 BISP verification
8171 BISP verification: Recently, many people have complained that their BISP (Benazir Income Support Program) money has stopped coming. In such a situation, some fraudulent people take advantage of the opportunity and make false promises that they will restore the money in a few days. This process is a complete fraud because BISP money is restored only after official verification and a new survey.
These fake agents use different methods to extort money from people. Some say that they will “eliminate the filer” and some lie that they will “remove the name from the pensioner list”. The fact is that they have nothing to do with BISP. Citizens should contact only government centers instead of trusting such fake people.
The real method: Conduct a new survey to restore BISP money
If your BISP money has stopped, then instead of panicking, go to the nearest BISP center or Ehsaas registration center and conduct a new survey. This is the only and real way through which your eligibility can be re-checked.
During the survey, your income, household situation, and identification information are verified. After verification, eligible individuals are reinstated in the program.
- Do not contact fake agents or unknown individuals.
- Only get a new survey done from an official BISP center.
- Do not give anyone your ID card or personal information.
- After the survey, a confirmation SMS will be received only from the number 8171.
A new update warns the public to beware of fake agents claiming to recover BISP payments. Beneficiaries are advised to follow official channels to securely access and retrieve their funds.
Fake promises and common fraud methods
BISP fraudsters use various false methods to deceive citizens. They usually assure people that they will “remove their names from the system” or “delete the file,” when in reality, no such authority is available to an unrelated person.
The only aim of these fraudsters is to take money. Several affected women have said that after taking hundreds or thousands of rupees from them, these individuals have made it a habit to disappear. The public should report such activities to the local administration or the BISP helpline
Below are some common methods used by fraudsters:
- Contacting through fake calls and messages.
- Impersonating a government official to gain trust.
- Making statements like “Your money has stopped, I will restore it.”
- Asking for money through Easypaisa or Jazz Cash.
