The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) Karachi on Friday claimed to have recovered Rs2.5 million of a woman who was allegedly defrauded through a Facebook page run by an alleged fake spiritual healer.

The victim was reportedly targeted through a Facebook page called “Qurani Wazaif”. The page operator allegedly defrauded people by offering to provide 'wazaif' in exchange for money to help people resolve personal problems.

The complainant was also promised that her problems would be resolved through specific wazaif and that she would be provided with two muwakkils. She transferred a total of Rs2.5 million to different bank accounts in several transactions.

After discovering the fraud, she approached the NCCIA, which launched an investigation and recovered the entire amount through its efforts.

Further investigation is under way to determine whether other women were also targeted through the scheme.
