Public Alert: Check Your NIN for Linked Numbers to Prevent Identity Theft

The general public is advised to take a moment to verify the phone numbers linked to their National Identification Number (NIN) using the designated special code. This simple step is critical for ensuring your personal security and preventing identity theft.

By checking the numbers associated with your NIN, you can quickly identify any unfamiliar or unauthorized phone numbers. If you notice any number you do not recognize, it is crucial to report it to the nearest police station immediately. Such unauthorized linking could be a sign of identity theft, which might lead to crimes being committed under your name.

Identity theft poses serious risks, including financial fraud, criminal impersonation, or other illegal activities. Staying proactive by regularly checking your NIN-linked numbers can help protect you and ensure you are not unknowingly implicated in criminal activities.

How to Check:

 

Dial the special code assigned for verifying numbers linked to your NIN.

 

Review the list of phone numbers displayed.

 

What to Do if You Notice Unauthorized Numbers:

 

Note the unauthorized number.

 

Inform the Police immediately to initiate investigations and protect yourself from potential misuse of your identity.

Remember, a stitch in time saves nine. Take a minute to check now and safeguard your identity.
