KARACHI: Authorities have apprehended a suspect accused of defrauding a woman out of millions of rupees by posing as a potential marriage partner through a dating application. The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Karachi conducted the operation that led to the arrest of the individual identified as Hussam.

According to reports, Hussam allegedly used the marriage app to deceive the victim, promising a romantic relationship while simultaneously extorting money from her. The NCCIA has stated that this case highlights the growing trend of cyber fraud linked to online dating platforms, which have become increasingly popular in recent years.

This incident raises significant concerns about the safety and security of individuals using marriage apps, particularly women who may be more vulnerable to such scams. Cybercrime experts urge users to exercise caution and verify identities before engaging with potential partners online.
