I was on the website of N-Power when I noticed that the BVN was requested. Is this not a scam? |

TopsyKrete:Answering the question asked in the topic - Of course it's lawful for the government to ask for your BVN. The BVN is just like the SSN used by citizens of developed countries. It contains data about you. The government can use it to track it's citizens with the info contained on it which is lawful. Answering if its not a scam - That I don't know. What scammers usually ask for is your account number, atm card number and pin but not BVN. Because someone has your BVN doesn't mean they can access your account unlike having your account number and the above listed info. 1 Like |
