Critical Consumer Guidelines & Fraud Advisory

Financial institutions—including OPay and Moniepoint—and government officials have issued strict security warnings to protect citizens from scammers exploiting the relief rollout:

1. Automated Selection: Beneficiaries are selected strictly through automated federal registers. No agent, politician, or official can add your name to the list or fast-track your payment.

2. 100% Free Scheme: You do not need to pay any registration fee, processing charge, or clearance fee to receive the funds.

3. Never Share Credentials: Neither NERSI nor your financial service provider will ever ask for your Transaction PIN, OTP (One-Time Password), or BVN.

4. No External Web Links: Official confirmation occurs exclusively via the verified USSD shortcodes or inside official banking apps. Do not click web links, WhatsApp chain messages, or third-party portals claiming to register you.
