The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has dismantled a cybercrime gang in Multan accused of orchestrating WhatsApp scams and payment transfer fraud.
The operation led to the arrest of six individuals and seizure of six mobile phones suspected to hold key evidence of the gang’s activities.
The gang operated by luring victims through fake WhatsApp accounts and false identities on Facebook to obtain personal information and cash transfers.
A FIR has been lodged against the suspects, and legal proceedings are in progress. The agency is also seeking comments from payment platforms affected by the fraud.
