Major Crackdown in Karachi: International Online Fraud Network Busted at Call Center; Over 40 Arrested

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has successfully conducted a major operation in Karachi, dismantling a large-scale call center allegedly involved in international online fraud.

The Raid at Gulzar-e-Hijri

Acting on a confidential tip-off, the NCCIA team cordoned off a facility in the Gulzar-e-Hijri neighborhood. During the high-stakes raid, law enforcement personnel detained more than 40 individuals suspected of operating digital scams.

Modus Operandi: Fake Bank Representatives

According to investigative sources, the call center was allegedly being operated by an individual identified as Zamana Hani. The network’s primary tactic involved:

  • Targeting Foreign Nationals: Scammers would place calls to citizens living abroad.

  • Impersonation: Employees posed as legitimate bank representatives to gain the trust of their targets.

  • Financial Fraud: Once trust was established, they would manipulate victims into revealing sensitive financial information or transferring funds.

Seizure of Digital Assets

The agency seized a significant cache of equipment used to facilitate these international scams, including:

  • Dozens of computers and laptops.

  • Advanced digital communication tools and servers.

The suspects remain in custody as the NCCIA scrutinizes the recovered data to determine the full scale of the fraudulent operations.
