EC warns against deceptive Facebook NID service ads

The Election Commission (EC) has urged the
public not to fall into deceptive Facebook advertisements promoting NID-
related services.

A media release issued by the EC secretariat today said recently, it has
observed numerous fake IDs and Facebook pages on social media platforms,
which are misleading people by advertising NID-related services, which is
highly unwanted.

It said official information and video content about voter list updates and
national identity cards are regularly shared through two authorized pages:
Bangladesh Election Commission Secretariat
(http://www.facebook.com/@BangladehECS) and the National Identity
Registration Division and IDEA Project (Phase 2)-run NID card (page link:

All the people are advised to avoid all other Facebook pages promoting NID-
related services and to refrain from being misled by such advertisements. (BSS)
