In case you missed it

Nairametrics reported earlier this week that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) warned Nigerians registering for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) about a fake website used by scammers, which may also be used to steal the personal information of unsuspecting Nigerians.

“The address of the fake portal is https://register.inec-pvc.online/ with shortened URL as https://bit.ly/INEC-PvcReg2021.

“INEC wishes to totally disassociate itself from this website and any activity carried out on it,” INEC said.
