Noor Aziz Uddin and Farhan Arshad, two of the top ten most wanted cyber criminals by the FBI, were arrested by the Karachi cyber crime division of FIA over the weekend.
Mir Mazhar Jabbar, a senior official with Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency, said his team had arrested Noor Aziz and Farhan Arshad from the northern part of Karachi. He said, “They were on the most wanted list of the FBI and we have successfully arrested them”.
Arshad and Uddin defrauded people out of more than $50 million
According to allegations, they were involved in running an illegal international telecom scheme which had victims ranging from individuals and companies to government entities in the US as well as other countries.
In late 2013, the FBI released a statement which said. “Arshad and Uddin are part of an international criminal ring that the FBI believes extends into Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, Italy, Malaysia and other locations”.
Both of them had $50,000 bounties on their heads at the time of arrest
It is estimated that from November 2008 to April 2012, they defrauded people out of more than $50 million. The scheme, known as international revenue share fraud, involved gaining access to unauthorized business telephone systems and using them for long distance calls to premium rate numbers. The victims end up footing the bill for the calls.
A federal arrest warrant for Noor Aziz Uddin was issued back in June 2012 by the US authorities in New Jersey after he was indicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers and identity theft. At the time of the arrest, Arshad and Uddin had $50,000 bounties on his head.
Rather than handing them over to the FBI or Interpol, Pakistan must take advantage of them and use them as a resource for finding such Cyber Crimes in the country.
FIA here already does that. Know a guy who hacked Government website and was arrested but FIA later hired him in cyber crime division.
Glad to know that and if FIA does the same with this particular case, then it’s a good notion.
Wow Pakistani nay americans ko bhi choona laga diya
Ye ch$#% admi taliban ko bhi fund kerta ho ga. Confirm.
Ek aur fraudiya “molvi” ke roop me. Isi liye Molvi ya darhi walay logon se nafrat ki jati hai :(
Dont’ forget our beloved prophet had Darhi therefore don’t involve Darhi in this mess. A man with or without Darhi can do a crime. First think before doing “Nafrat” with a darhi wala.
Also note that non of the top-ten FBI most wanted is Darhi wala. See http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten
Therefore as per your theory are non-darahi walay to be hated?
please keep religion away from this.
good
merey bhai….soch samajh kar bola karo
agar aap daarhi waloon sey nafrat kartay ho tou zaroori nahi key har koi karta ho
hosakta hai har koi aap sey nafrat karta ho
btw I am not a daarhi wala too…..but comments on daarhi (which is sunnat) cant be tolerated
Famous Quote
“Mulla chor nahi huey…Choron ney daarhiyaan rakh li hain”
so call a thief a thief…..instead of mocking upon all Daarhi walas
mujhay kion lag raha hai jaisay main ne is shakhs ko kahin dekha hua hai per yad nahi aa raha :(
Hahahah lol… Then U simply missed a chance to get the bounty ..cry for $50,000 instead of remembring where u saw him haha

apka abu khalid yaldram?
mera abu ka nam sun ka pakistanio ka muttar nikal jata ha nam ha …..brack …brack Obama sab pakistanio ka abbu………..
If they are Pakistani citizen’s they must be dealt with according to local law, after detailed investigation of matter.
Local law says get the deal done underhand and release them! (the de facto Pakistnai law)
I knew them personally, both of them are innocent and cleared by Malaysian court in July 2012, they were also cleared by FIA in 2012. Their rearrest in 2015 was made on personal grievance by an officer as they have refused to provide money demanded by one corrupt officer the in charge of this activity. However after refusal from them, he presented / portrayed them like an evil in front of media. If some should inquire about their status, he may get information about the team who arrested them? Where are they now? Jesa dikhta hai wesa hota naheen hai. Mujhey afsoos hai appney reputable media pay kay woh bagheer kissi tasdeeq kay bari bari khabrain laga deta hai jo kay 100% jhoot par mabni hoti hain. Jald logo ko sach pata chal jaey ga kay in becharoo ka yeh haal kiyoon hoa or kiss nay kiya sirf jand takoo ki khatir. in ko bhi badnaam kiya or Pakistan ko bhi. This has not happened upon FBI request, this all happened by fake query generated by an individual who continuously threatening both of them and their families too.

hum log public ka bhi haal bura hi hai, bas jo media pay dekha us par bagheer kissi tasdeeq kay emman lay aey. bhai biased how kay mat dekho, neutral rahoo kam say kam dosri taraf ka opinion bhi to janey ki koshih karo kay akhir sach kiya hai, ager tumharey sath ya tumharey kissi bhai or betey kay sath is tarhan ki mishap ho jaey khuda na khuasta to phir may app logon or app ki families kay barey mai iss tarhan kay comments doon jo kay sach na hoon or jhoot par mabni hon to mai poocho ga kay app kay dil par kiya guzrey gi. FBI ki har baat sach naheen hoti hai, or ager sach hai tou phir malaysian court nay in dono ko kiyon choora 62 din remand may rakhney key baad jab kay in ko FBI ki request par pakra gya tha. jab kay US or Malaysia ki extradition treaty bhi hai. Is ka jawab to dou?
