Analysts Warn Nigerians to Beware of Potential Scam Site Promising Daily Earnings
A new website, NigerianPASC.com, also known as Project Hope or the Nigerian Poverty Alleviation Subsidy Commission, is drawing attention across Nigeria for promising users daily earnings and referral bonuses. However, multiple cybersecurity watchdogs and digital risk analysts have flagged the platform as potentially fraudulent and high-risk.
TJ News Nigeria learnt that while the site “NigerianPASC.com” claims to offer poverty relief in the form of daily ₦200 check-in bonuses and ₦500 for each referral, experts warn it may be operating under a classic Ponzi-like structure without any verifiable backing from the Nigerian government or registered agency.

What NigerianPASC.com Claims to Offer
The platform presents itself as a government-backed poverty alleviation initiative. Users who register are encouraged to:

- Earn ₦500 per referral
- Reach a ₦20,000 minimum threshold before withdrawals are allowed

The site also refers to itself as “Project Hope” and uses language suggestive of official subsidy programs, though there is no known link to any federal ministry or agency.
Experts Flag Key Red Flags
Digital analysts and cybersecurity platforms such as ScamAdviser, ScamDetector, and ScamDoc have reviewed NigerianPASC.com and found several issues that indicate a high risk of scam:

How the Project Hope Platform Works
After registration, users are granted access to a dashboard where they can:

- Click “Daily Check-in” to earn ₦200
- Share a referral link to earn ₦500 for every new user
- Accumulate earnings until they can apply for withdrawal
However, multiple users have reported delays, non-payment after hitting the ₦20,000 threshold, and lack of customer support or contact information.
Is NigerianPASC Legit or a Scam?
TJ News Nigeria reports that there is no public record of any commission called the “Nigerian Poverty Alleviation Subsidy Commission.” Furthermore, the platform fails to:
- Provide a CAC registration number
- List any government agency endorsement
- Publish a privacy policy, terms of use, or executive team details
Digital safety experts suggest the site is likely operating as a referral-based scam, rewarding early users with small payments to attract more signups, before halting payments or disappearing altogether.
What Nigerians Should Know
Nigerians are advised to avoid sharing sensitive data such as BVNs, NINs, or personal banking details on the platform.
“Any site that offers free money with no verifiable source of funding and relies heavily on referrals should be approached with serious caution,” said a digital risk analyst interviewed by TJ News Nigeria.
Safer Alternatives to Consider
For those genuinely seeking government-backed support, consider the following verified channels:
- Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship Programs from the Ministry of Youth and Sports
- Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN)
- Conditional Cash Transfer Programme (CCT) from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs
Final Word
While NigerianPASC.com claims to offer hope and financial support, multiple independent investigations suggest it may be a high-risk platform with little or no legitimacy. Users are strongly advised to avoid depositing funds, disclosing personal data, or promoting the scheme until it is publicly verified by relevant authorities.
TJ News Nigeria will continue to monitor developments around the platform and update the public as new facts emerge.
