ISLAMABAD: The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in a raid in a scam call centre in the federal capital arrested five foreign nationals among over 65 people.
The law enforcement agency also seized record of the illegal activities at the scam call centre, officials said.
Officials said that five foreigners and more than 60 Pakistani boys and girls running operations of the scam centre were arrested during the raid in Islamabad’s G-10 Sector.
A spokesperson of the agency said that further legal action would be taken against those who provided facilities and security to these persons.
Earlier this month, police arrested 149 people — including 71 foreigners, mostly Chinese — in a raid on a scam call centre in Faisalabad, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency said last Thursday.
“During the raid, a large call centre was uncovered, which was involved in Ponzi schemes and investment fraud,” the agency said in a statement. –Agencies
