Scammers Are Cashing in on Govt’s New Cheap Petrol Scheme

Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunications Shaza Fatima has announced an awareness campaign to safeguard the public from scammers exploiting the Prime Minister's new cheap petrol relief scheme. The Ministry of IT and Telecommunications has finalized plans to alert citizens about fraudulent calls and messages impersonating the petrol relief scheme.

Shaza Fatima cautioned people to be wary of any calls or messages promising registration, payments, or other benefits linked to the scheme. The minister disclosed that registration details would be disclosed today. She also noted that registration issues arose when applicants chose the wrong province or entered their date of birth incorrectly.

Shaza Fatima recommended applicants select the province where their vehicle is registered during registration. The government recently introduced the special relief scheme aimed at offering cheaper petrol to eligible citizens amid a significant surge in fuel prices.
