The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has arrested 36 suspects during a series of raids on illegal scam call centers operating in Lahore. The operation targeted networks allegedly involved in online fraud, financial scams, and cybercrime activities that affected local and international victims.
Authorities launched the raids after receiving intelligence about organized groups running fraudulent schemes through call centers. As a result, NCCIA teams conducted coordinated operations at multiple locations and detained dozens of individuals for questioning.
Major Operation Against Cyber Fraud Networks
According to officials, the suspects allegedly participated in scams designed to deceive people through fake investment offers, fraudulent online services, and other cybercrime tactics. Investigators also seized computers, communication devices, and digital records that may provide evidence against the accused.
Moreover, authorities stated that the operation forms part of a broader campaign to dismantle cybercrime networks across the country. The agency has intensified efforts to identify and disrupt groups that use technology to target unsuspecting victims.
Investigation Expands Following Arrests
NCCIA officials confirmed that investigators are examining the seized material to determine the full scope of the operation. Consequently, authorities expect the investigation to reveal additional links and identify other individuals connected to the alleged scam networks.
The agency emphasized its commitment to protecting citizens from online fraud and financial exploitation. Meanwhile, officials urged the public to remain cautious when dealing with unknown callers, online investment opportunities, and suspicious digital platforms.
The latest crackdown highlights Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to combat cybercrime and strengthen digital security. Authorities have indicated that further actions may follow as investigators continue to uncover evidence related to the Lahore-based scam centers.
