The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) raided an illegal call center in DHA Phase II Extension and arrested seven suspects involved in an alleged international financial scam, officials said.
According to authorities, the call center agents impersonated employees of foreign banks and used spoofing techniques to deceive victims into sharing sensitive banking information.
Initial investigations revealed that the network targeted foreign citizens by posing as bank representatives and collecting confidential data, including social security numbers, phone numbers, dates of birth, mothers’ names, and CVV codes.
Officials said the stolen information was allegedly used to make unauthorized transactions through merchant accounts for financial gain.
During the raid, authorities recovered 10 laptops, six mobile phones, and a large amount of banking data belonging to foreign nationals. All digital devices and evidence were seized from the site for forensic examination.
The NCCIA registered a case against the suspects and obtained their physical remand for further investigation. Officials added that the confiscated equipment has been sent for technical analysis to trace the wider network behind the operation.
