The National Identity Management Commission has warned the public to be wary of the activities of fraudsters who are peddling a fake application that claims to help link the National Identity Number to sim cards.
In a post on its Twitter handle, NIMC dissociated itself from the app saying it is run by fraudsters who use it to harvest people’s NIN and Bank Verification Number.
According to the post: “The app was not created by NIMC or the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“It is run by fraudsters who are currently harvesting people’s NINs and BVNs by default,” NIMC said.
