Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) State Bank Circle has discovered that unknown con artists are utilizing national identity cards (NICs) of residents of Karachi to buy and sell US dollars, and that too in sizable sums.
It was discovered by FIA State Bank Circle when it summoned a resident of one of the city’s less affluent neighborhoods, Korangi No 4 district, named Abdul Hanan.
Hanan, who works at a firm that manufactures tissue paper, was astounded by the amount of money Hanan spent.
The agency was startled by a massive $10,000 transaction made against Hanan’s national identification card, and as a result, it called the citizen into its office.
He admitted to FIA representatives that he did not carry out the transaction throughout the inquiry.
The individual claimed to have never seen or even bought that much money in his life. He said that several con artists had utilized his NIC improperly.
Following this information, FIA State Bank Circle has opened an investigation.
