Over 50 Arrested in Lahore Crackdown on Fake Call Centers

LAHORE: The National Counter Terrorism Authority (NCCIA) has arrested over 50 individuals during a raid on three fake call centers in Gulberg, Lahore. The operation targeted suspects involved in stealing credit card data from restaurants and defrauding foreign citizens.

According to NCCIA officials, the arrests were made as part of a broader initiative to combat cybercrime and protect consumers from financial fraud. The suspects are accused of operating sophisticated scams that have reportedly affected numerous victims, both locally and internationally.

This crackdown highlights the growing issue of cyber fraud in Pakistan, where such illegal operations have proliferated in recent years. The NCCIA’s actions aim to restore public confidence in digital transactions and ensure the safety of personal financial information.

Authorities are expected to continue their investigations into the networks behind these call centers, with further arrests anticipated as they gather more intelligence. The NCCIA has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to financial transactions.
