ISLAMABAD: Pakistani actress and model Nadia Hussain has fallen victim to an online scam following the arrest of her husband, Atif Mohammad Khan, who is facing fraud allegations.
A scammer, impersonating a Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officer, called Nadia Hussain and demanded Rs30 million in exchange for her husband’s release on bail. The actress took to social media to warn others about such fraudulent schemes.
