The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) arrested three individuals on September 18 for alleged involvement in cyber fraud and financial scams.
In Lodhran, the NCCIA arrested Shahryar for allegedly defrauding a citizen of Rs 653,200 by posing as a customs officer and falsely promising a prize and donation. A search of his mobile phone reportedly revealed a fraudulent WhatsApp account, scam-related chats and videos showing methods of concealing one’s identity.
In Faisalabad, Sunil Amin and Usman Ali were arrested for alleged financial fraud involving bank accounts. Authorities seized 17 mobile phones, 81 ATM cards and 195 SIM cards during the operation. The suspects allegedly impersonated individuals and representatives of public and private organisations to defraud people.
