In a major crackdown on call center fraud, authorities have arrested 255 foreigners and 195 locals for their involvement in a large-scale scam worth over Rs. 70 million. The arrests followed an extensive investigation into illegal activities being carried out through fraudulent call centers operating across the country.
The accused were part of an international network that deceived people into paying large sums of money under false pretenses. The call centers were used to impersonate legitimate organizations and trick victims into making payments for services or products that never existed. Investigators found that the fraudsters used advanced tactics to appear legitimate, including fake customer service calls and emails.
Authorities discovered that the scam spanned multiple regions, with calls being made to people in various countries, including Pakistan. The arrested individuals are accused of being involved in both the operation and execution of the fraudulent schemes. The total amount defrauded from victims is estimated to exceed Rs. 70 million, though investigations suggest the actual figure could be much higher.
This operation is considered one of the largest busts in recent years. Law enforcement officials have said that 255 foreigners and 195 locals arrested for call center fraud will face serious charges, including cybercrime and financial fraud. The authorities are continuing to track down additional suspects and dismantle the network.
The investigation has also revealed that the fraudulent activities were well-coordinated, with many of the suspects using sophisticated technology to hide their tracks. Local and international agencies have worked together to identify and apprehend the individuals involved.
The crackdown sends a strong message about the government’s commitment to tackling online fraud and cybercrime. It is expected to deter others from engaging in similar illegal activities. Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to call center scams.
With 255 foreigners and 195 locals arrested for call center fraud, the authorities hope to bring an end to a significant threat to consumer security.
