pcvecard.com
Pcvecard.com should be treated as an unofficial and potentially fraudulent website, so do not register, pay money, or share personal information there.
What is pcvecard.com?
Pcvecard.com is a Bengali website that calls itself a “smart digital service portal” and promotes a service card for families.
Its home page displays registration and login buttons, along with large claims about total users and successful deliveries (pcvecard.com search listing).
The registration page has also described “Family Card” as a microtask platform where users can earn money by watching videos, giving ratings, completing small tasks, and posting advertisements (registration page).
These two descriptions do not fit together, because a government family-support card and a private online-earning platform are very different services.
Is pcvecard.com an official government website?
No, pcvecard.com is not the official website for Bangladesh’s government Family Card program.
The official portal is familycard.gov.bd, which uses the government-controlled .gov.bd domain.
Pcvecard.com uses a normal commercial .com address, and nothing in its domain name proves that it belongs to a ministry or government agency.
A Fact Watch report republished by Parbatta News specifically identified pcvecard.com among websites advertised through Facebook as false Family Card application links (Parbatta News).
The same report says Bangladesh’s Ministry of Social Welfare warned that dishonest people had created a fake website in the ministry’s name to attempt Family Card fraud.
How does the real Family Card process work?
The official process described in government guidance did not begin with members of the public completing a form on a random website.
Government representatives were expected to visit selected areas, find eligible families, enter their details through social-services offices, check their eligibility, and verify their information at home.
Approved people would then receive an SMS telling them how to collect their printed card.
This means a Facebook advertisement that tells everyone to register through pcvecard.com does not match the stated government process (official Family Card portal).
People should check the official portal again for current instructions because a government program can change its rules over time.
What warning signs does the website show?
The strongest warning sign is its attempt to connect itself with a real public-support program while using a private .com address.
Its conflicting descriptions are another warning, because one page promotes a general service card while another talks about earning money from videos and small tasks.
The site also asks users to create accounts with an 11-digit phone number, which could give its operator a useful piece of personal data.
Its displayed user and delivery numbers are marketing claims, and no independent audit or official government source was found to confirm them.
The related dash.pcvecard.com subdomain has shown only a basic server directory page in search results, which does not look like a finished or transparent public-service platform (dashboard listing).
WHOIS records show that the current pcvecard.com domain registration began on March 13, 2026, making it very new compared with the importance of the service it claims to offer (WHOIS record).
A new domain is not automatically dangerous, but it adds risk when the site requests personal information and appears in reports about false government applications.
What could happen if you register?
The operator could collect your name, phone number, identity details, address, password, payment information, or mobile-wallet number.
That information could be used for unwanted calls, targeted scams, account takeover attempts, or false payment requests.
A common next step in this type of scheme is asking for a small “registration,” “activation,” or “delivery” fee through bKash or Nagad.
No one should pay such a fee unless it appears in clear instructions on an official government website and the payment goes through an official channel.
What should you do if you already used it?
Do not send more information or money, even if someone says your card, benefit, or withdrawal is waiting.
Change your password anywhere else you reused the same password, and enable two-step verification on important accounts.
Contact your mobile-wallet provider immediately if you sent money, revealed a PIN, entered a one-time code, or noticed an unknown transaction.
Save screenshots, phone numbers, payment receipts, messages, and website addresses because they may help your provider or the authorities investigate.
You should also watch for calls that mention details entered on the site, because knowing your name or application data does not make a caller official.
Where should people check instead?
Use only familycard.gov.bd and official pages belonging to the Ministry of Social Welfare or Department of Social Services.
Type the official address yourself instead of opening a link from Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, or a sponsored advertisement.
Until an official government source links directly to pcvecard.com, the safest conclusion is that it is not an authorized Family Card application service.
