In Karachi, another instance of online debit card fraud has been discovered. Three private bank customers were impacted, according to the first complaint, and they informed the relevant banks.
According to the officials, accusations of an online fraud involving transactions made through the Google search engine have appeared in the previous two days. Small payments in various foreign currencies were made through the bank accounts of various persons.
The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) cybercrime unit has received complaints from the impacted citizens as well.
According to the officials, it is challenging to pinpoint the precise number of persons who have fallen victim to the online hoax.
An extra session judge from Gujranwala lost money from his bank account due to internet fraud earlier in January.
The accused called the judge pretending to be a bank representative in order to obtain information about his bank account, according to the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) cybercrime wing.
Following receipt of the information, the accused—Abbass, Hashim, and Abdul Shakoor—withdrew Rs. 500,000 from the additional session judge’s bank account.
The three accused were taken into custody by the FIA cybercrime wing after they filed a fraud case against them in response to the complaint.
