Authorities in Pakistan launch Operation Grey to crack down on scam call centers involved in fraudulent activities.
Operation Grey, led by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), aims to dismantle large-scale networks engaged in scam operations targeting individuals inside and outside Pakistan.
The FIA has already conducted raids and shut down several scam centers in Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi. They have arrested individuals linked to the scams and are working on tracking down their associates.
PTA has played a crucial role in blocking illegal numbers used by fraudsters to impersonate government officials and others. International cooperation with Interpol and foreign cybercrime units is underway to trace cross-border networks. Public awareness campaigns and enhanced cyber laws are part of the government's efforts to combat such scams.
