Romance, Crypto & Investment Scams: How Global Crime Gangs Are Targeting Pakistan

Asian crime gangs running cyber scam centres are now expanding their operations globally, including in Pakistan. These gangs use various scams like fake investment opportunities, romance frauds, and cryptocurrency scams to trick people into giving away their money. They often target innocent victims through online platforms, offering paid services such as fake romance, investment advice, or cryptocurrency trading. Many victims, including those from Pakistan, are trapped into believing they are interacting with genuine people or companies.

Once people fall for these scams, the criminals use their personal information and money to run these illegal operations. Some victims are even trafficked into forced labor, working in scam centres in poor conditions. These centres are usually located in lawless areas in countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos, but the scams are also spreading to places like Africa, South America, and the Middle East, including Pakistan.

To make their stolen money untraceable, these gangs have turned to cryptocurrency. They use it for illegal mining, laundering money through anonymous transactions. These tactics make it hard for authorities to track and stop their operations. Even though there have been efforts to shut down these scam centres, the criminals have shown they can quickly relocate to new places like Pakistan, where the scams continue to grow and cause harm.
