The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing in Islamabad has registered a case against three foreign nationals for allegedly defrauding a Pakistani citizen of over 1.6 million rupees.

The suspects, identified as Li Gang, Zhu Cheng Ling, and Niyaz Aziz, are accused of soliciting investments in the stock market through a fraudulent app.

According to the FIA, the accused advertised their app extensively on social media platforms and WhatsApp groups. The investigation also implicated three Pakistani nationals, including Muhammad Naveed and Roman Rashid, alongside the three foreign suspects. All six individuals are named in the First Information Report (FIR).

The FIA’s investigation alleges that the suspects lured the victim into investing in a non-existent stock exchange scheme, ultimately resulting in the significant financial loss.

The case highlights the growing threat of online financial scams targeting Pakistani citizens and underscores the FIA’s efforts to combat cybercrime.
