The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has issued a public advisory, warning citizens about a variety of new fraudulent schemes aimed at deceiving them and robbing them of their hard-earned money.
According to NAB, scammers are increasingly using twisted methods to exploit individuals, urging the public to remain vigilant.
In a statement released today, NAB barred the public for buying and selling of files related to unregistered housing schemes, which often lead to financial losses.
The bureau specifically cautioned against responding to unsolicited messages regarding ATM card blocking, urging citizens not to share any personal information with anyone on the phone.
NAB also warned the public about fraudulent investment schemes, particularly those promising unrealistic returns in exchange for investments.
Online cryptocurrency trading fraud, illegal loan apps, and multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, as well as Ponzi and online lottery scams, were also identified as significant threats.
Citizens were urged to exercise caution when encountering such offers.
NAB further advised people to be cautious of fake messages claiming to be from slush funds or offering online trading opportunities in foreign currencies.
Other potential scams include online employment opportunities, visa frauds, and fake insurance coverage offers.
To prevent falling victim to such scams, NAB stressed the importance of protecting personal and financial information.
Citizens are advised not to share bank account details or other sensitive data without verifying the legitimacy of the request.
NAB also encouraged the public to thoroughly read and understand the terms and conditions before making any investments.
