NCCIA Raids Bust Three Call Centers in Islamabad, Arrests 212 Suspects
Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) conducted a special operation against illegal call centers in Islamabad, successfully dismantling three hideouts in residential areas and arresting 212 suspects, including seven Chinese nationals. A large number of tools used for the crime were seized, including mobile phones, computers, and monitors. Preliminary investigations suggest the suspects were involved in various types of cross-border cyber fraud, including Google-related scams, loan scams, and romance scams, using fake social media accounts and false investment information to trick foreigners. Initial leads indicate that the criminal network behind these scams may have links with India and Brazil.11 sourcesSee all sources
