The Bangladesh 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 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: http://www.facebook.com/bd.nid)
All the people are advised to avoid all other Facebook pages promoting NID-related services and to refrain from being misled by such advertisements.
