How to Write a Complaint Against a Cyber Crime?
You can write your complain in plain English/Urdu with maximum possible details about the offense. You can attach any evidence, such as email printouts (screen-grabs) and any possible detail to help the officials understand your case better.
You can also mention (nominate) anyone with their phone/address details.
How Effective is it to Complain with NR3C
With cyber crime bill passed, NR3C is a lot more resourceful now. They have official contacts with ISPs, mobile phone companies, Facebook, Twitter and so on to get your complaint resolved.
It is to be noted that the process time of your application may be up to a few weeks, depending on type of your complaint. If you submit it in proper fashion alongside proof and needed documentation, your complaint can get resolved with ease.
How to Get Update on Complaints:
You can email ([email protected]) or contact them on 051-9106384 or mobile no: 03366006060 for any queries against your complaint and updates.
Haha really they have Official contacts with Facebook or twitter? :p LOL :v they don’t have any contacts woth Facebook or twitter they can’t get any information about user from contacting Facebook :3 they can only get information that is visible publicly or posted by user.
Mr Technical.. Per mein moch aur choti soch aghey nahin bharhne deigi.. Cmon dn be kid, its agency they can contact their hq.
Yup I too had read someone on number of People Pakistan had already received info from facebook. Not that they will entertain their every request, but will do provide some info for requests that does not violate terms and conditions.
Facebook Terms & Conditions Parh Lo Wo Sirf Information FBI Ko Denge FBI Jo Ke U.S.A Main Hai Ayi Samajh. -_-
i agree with technical. mere uper case hua tha fia ka aur unke pas wohi information thi jo maine khud post ki hui thi wo mujhe fb use karne se bhi rok nahi sakty thai main online hota tha per show offline karke unko pata bhi nahi chalta tha ;) unka contact fb ya twitter se hai hi nahi unka mera IP address tak na mil saka :D
amir bhai could yo give me more info about what happens when someone files a report against you? i run a dank memes group so xD
i lives in UK even Cyber Crime agencies of UK can’t get any information about someone from Facebook.
only FBI have Official contact with Facebook.
try to calling them no response,
application page is blocked by web filtering restriction
yes agree mere sath ho chuka hai aisa :p wo koi info nahi le sakty fb se…jiske saath hua ho usi ko pata hota hai baqi sochty hain ke agency hain unke liye kya mushkil hai LOL oh bhai wo U.S.A mein hai wo kisi country ki agency ko kuch nahi dety pahli baat to yeh hai ke facebook ko contact karna hi mushkil hai na koi help line na koi number aur na koi email..
try doing one of the cyber crime mention above and make someone to report against you and then share you experience, it will be much appropriate then. :)
hahahah even if they don’t have contact with fb or whatever They’ll at least grind the one who commits crime :p Its like Pakistan’s Police. :p
I’m Not From Pakistan!
actually no, they do release information to Pakistani authorities. Facebook has published some data. In which India is the on of the top countries to which data is released and Pakistan is a little behind
Once my friend PC was affects by ransomware, I ask him to Contact NR3C they don’t receive call then and don’t contact later. And then the after the given time is OVER by ransomware the HDD was formatted and all data was Erased :(
Lol you contact cyber crime when u get hack or scamed or someone blackmail you on internet..
You cant contact them to report a software , i mean that you ofcourse acepted terms and condition of that software while downloading it ,then what can cyber crime do?
agar koi fake id use kare fake ip se to kiya woh bhi pakra jasakta hai?
i lives in UK even Cyber Crime agencies of UK can’t get any information about someone from Facebook.
only FBI have Official contact with Facebook.
Ok here is the catch. I reported a youtube channel + a fbook page over the Hate Speech to Cyber crime website. After submitting the application and by filling all the personal info, I received a call in 25 days from FIA. They asked me to come to FIA office Rawalpindi and provide a written testimony, I told them I already provided that when I filed this report but the person on call said if I want this case to be solved then its mandatory. I explained that I have completed my civic duty by reporting and its State responsibility to act as it deems fit but he insisted bcuz its the only way.
That is the efficiency of this new system, they need a person to open a case so they can tag him along and feed him to other party when they had to save their own skins. So the case I reported is closed, no matter how ugly the content of that video was but state refused to act on it own.
RIP Cyber Crime Bill
this is because they don’t have any official contact with Google,YouTube,Facebook,Twitter etc
Once I reported a (Hate Speech over Religious) complain to PTA and don’t provide any personal info (name, email, phone no., address) and they block that site in Pakistan when i access it dew days later.
Great info ..
Kuch bhi nahi hoga, sub topi drama hai.
Aftermath (if complaint logged), what-if get irrelevant visit by law enforcement at FIA office or what is process after logging complaint. I fear for un-known.
How can i block my stolen mobile’s IMEI number block and how to unblock IMEI of a mobile which was once lost but then i found it somewhere.
I got my credit card information stolen and hackers used my credit card to make transactions from many sites I never head of before. The hackers managed to squeeze quite a lot of money before I could get the card blocked. They made the transaction on Saturday at around 6:00 P.M when they knew that I will be able to get the least help.
But with the help of my Bank I was able to get details of the transactions that were illegally made on my card. During the weekend I did some research and managed to get 70% of the transactions reversed. The bank was able to get the remaining 28% reversed.
I got 98% of my money back but the cyber crime division was of no help.
I registered a complain with complete details at their office located at G-9 Islamabad. The staff was very cooperative there and the environment was also very good.
They forwarded my complain to their FIA office located at Khanna Pul Rawalpindi and called me approx after two weeks of registering complain for confirmation of complain and getting my consent in writing to proceed further.
The environment there was pathetic. There was smoke every where, even in the waiting area. I had to wait for almost half an hour at a balcony at one end of the corridor which had its opening towards Islamabad highway. I was unable to breath fresh air as the people over there were even smoking.
After a long wait I was called in and asked to narrate the incident. They were unable to find my file and after a long search it was finally found buried under a pile of what I will call garbage.
The told me to give my consent. I signed it and they told me that they will call only if there is any progress in the case.
I even gave them important clues that I had gathered during my research and provided them with contact info of one of the person who had used my card but they were unable to do anything.
Thanks to Almighty Allah SWT that with my own 70% effort and with the remaining banks involvement and my regular followup with the bank I was able to recover my funds. Otherwise this FIA cyber crime division as far as credit card related fraud is concerned, they are not effective.
Just a waste of time and energy.
Ager ek bandy ka facebook account hi deactivate ho ya gmail yahoo etc acount hi dell ho whn pay cybercrime waly kasy kisi ka pata laga skty kn hain kase hain. Koi jawb dain mjh
Dekhain cyber crime Walay Facebook Ko contact krain aur woh info cyber crime Ko day dain gay. Deactivate ya del ka matlab yeh nhi hota k user ki info bhi delete ho gye hay.
If someone msgs you on whatsapp from outside country that he has your private conversations or pictures and wants to friendship but doesnt show you those pic or conversation. Can this be reported and does law cover it and will Crime department take it seriously?
I dont think so. And secondly, if a person does not show the picture or conversations, means he does not has them. Be brave and treat such losers with confidence.
I have a question one of my cousin had fake FB account made any of her friend and posted her real pictures and while doing all this that person also spreading her number and people start calling her and other side of shadi that person made her account and given her no she s receiving calls from all over the world plz advise what do do
I experience once to contact PTA and try to contact them by email and get the email from propakistani and email and email then i compare email with official PTA site then is a difference :D
Please refer the contact to original site
I would like 2 ask that why they need our personal info bcz we don’t commit cyber crime. People don’t want to report a public crime with their personal info. This is Wrong :/
