The BISP 8171 Alert 2025 has been officially issued to protect beneficiaries from fake calls, SMS, and online scams. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is one of Pakistan’s most trusted welfare programs, helping millions of poor families across the country. Unfortunately, fraudsters are now taking advantage of its popularity by sending fake messages and links to steal personal data or money. It’s very important for all beneficiaries to understand these scams and take safety measures to protect themselves from fraud.

Why Scammers Target BISP Beneficiaries
Millions of people in Pakistan are currently waiting for their BISP 8171 payments, especially after the government started Phase 2 payments in October 2025. Scammers know this and send fake messages claiming that people will receive Rs. 25,000 or Rs. 12,000 soon. These messages often ask for CNIC numbers, bank details, or even small “processing fees.” Remember — BISP never asks for any fee or private information through calls or messages.
How to Identify a Fake BISP Message
| Type | Scam Indicator | Safe Practice |
| SMS / Call | Demands CNIC details or fee | BISP never asks for money |
| WhatsApp Message | Unknown links or payment promises | Ignore & Report immediately |
| Fake Website | No .gov.pk domain | Only use official portal |
| Personal Call | Urgent or threatening tone | Confirm via official helpline |
