Have you ever received a call that wasn’t really from your bank but acted like it was? Scammers in Pakistan are becoming increasingly sophisticated, using tactics like fake bank numbers, fingerprint theft, and requests for OTPs.
Unsuspecting people often share sensitive details without realizing the intent. Sometimes scammers even pose as bank representatives.
Experts stress reporting such incidents to your bank and authorities immediately. While recovering stolen money isn’t always guaranteed, acting fast is crucial. Banks must also step up awareness campaigns, especially for senior citizens, who are prime targets.
Stay vigilant, stay informed, and protect yourself!
