NCCIA Karachi Busts Illegal Call Center in DHA, Seven Suspects Arrested

Karachi: The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) Karachi conducted a successful raid in DHA Phase II Extension, uncovering an organized illegal call center involved in cyber fraud and financial scams.
According to officials, the call center agents impersonated representatives of foreign banks and used spoofing techniques to deceive victims. The group allegedly targeted foreign nationals and obtained sensitive financial information, including social security numbers, phone numbers, dates of birth, mothers’ names, and CVV codes, which were later used for illegal financial gain.
During the raid, authorities recovered 10 laptops, six mobile phones, and banking data belonging to thousands of foreign citizens. All digital devices and evidence were seized from the site.
Seven suspects were arrested during the operation, and a case has been registered against them. The accused have been handed over to police on physical remand for further investigation.
The case was registered under FIR No. 32/26 and includes charges under Sections 3, 4, 13, 14, 16, and 26 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), along with Sections 34 and 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
The NCCIA reaffirmed its commitment to continuing operations against cybercrime and protecting citizens and institutions from online fraud and financial scams.
