Karachi NCCI Busts Organised Scam Call Centre, 4 Arrested

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCI) Karachi has conducted a major raid on an organised scam call centre in DHA Phase 2 Extension, resulting in the arrest of four suspects and the seizure of digital evidence.

According to the agency, the raid uncovered a facility where several individuals were working as calling agents impersonating representatives of foreign banks. Initial investigations indicate the centre targeted foreign nationals, using forged identities and phone spoofing to collect sensitive banking information, including social security numbers, phone numbers, dates of birth, and CVV codes.

Modus Operandi

Authorities said the suspects allegedly used the stolen data to gain unauthorized financial benefits via merchant accounts. The operation relied on digital tools and software for forgery and fraud to deceive victims abroad.

During the raid, the NCCI seized:

  • 14 laptops
  • 10 mobile phones
  • Banking data of thousands of foreign nationals
  • Other digital devices and software used in scams

All items were secured through a seizure memo in the presence of witnesses, and a case has been registered against five accused, with four already in custody. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspect.

Investigation Ongoing

The confiscated devices have been sent for technical analysis, and authorities confirmed that further investigation and legal action are underway to dismantle the call centre network and prevent future fraud.

The NCCI has urged the public to remain cautious of unsolicited calls claiming to be from foreign banks and to report any suspicious activity immediately.
