“The fake messages claim that the beneficiaries’ stipends have been approved, ask for contact information for money transfers, or guarantee enrollment in the BISP program and stipend issuance,” the BISP stated. However, the actual messages coming from the BISP do not guarantee that any financial assistance will be provided without proper documentation and verification.

It further stated that to be registered, prospective beneficiaries had to come to the BISP council office with their Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) and the B-Form for the dynamic survey, which was provided at no cost.
