According to the details, a gang telephoned a Lahore resident and congratulated him for winning as much as 10 Tola Gold and 2 lacs as part of giveaways from “Jeeto Pakistan” show that airs on ARY. Furthermore, the gang members demanded a sum of Rs. 23 thousand in terms of custom’s duty to deliver the prizes.
After the innocent family sent the money, the mafia kept on insisting that the prizes would be delivered at their door step and the winner needs not to be worried about it.
The resident who belongs to Karim park area of Lahore was left shocked when he realized that he has been deprived off his hard earned money. Upon further contact, the man asked the mafia members to send back his money and surprisingly the deceptive crew demanded an extra thirty-five hundred rupees.
The money was sent to two different identity card holders who belong to Dadu and Sheikhupura area of Punjab as per Nadra records. Moreover, the landline number given for any queries was installed at Kulsoom Plaza Islamabad.
On the other hand the administration of “Jeeto Pakistan” has clarified that the lucky winners are announced during the show and ARY demands no such money for prizes.
Telephonic frauds have been on the rise in Pakistan. Earlier, a huddle was cheating Pakistanis in the name of Benazir Income Support Program through the same technique. The Federal Investigation agency should look into the matter to help save the citizens from the dirty tricks of culprits.
