The Rise of Banking Fraud Calls in Pakistan

October 10, 2023Frady TeamBanking Security, Fraud Prevention

Banking fraud calls have increased by an alarming 70% in Pakistan over the last year, with thousands of people falling victim to these sophisticated scams. In this article, we'll explore how these scams work, the tactics fraudsters use, and the steps banks are taking to protect their customers.

Important: Banks will NEVER ask for your complete card details, PIN, password or OTP over the phone. Always verify suspicious calls by hanging up and calling your bank's official number.

How Banking Fraud Calls Work

Banking fraud calls typically follow a pattern. The caller claims to be from your bank's security department, fraud prevention team, or customer service. They create a sense of urgency by claiming there's an issue with your account that needs immediate attention.

Common scenarios include claims that your card has been compromised, suspicious transactions have been detected, or your account will be blocked unless you verify your identity. The goal is to trick you into revealing sensitive information like your card number, PIN, OTP, or online banking password.
