The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Peshawar has issued a warning to the public to be wary of individuals impersonating NAB officers and making fraudulent calls. A statement from a NAB spokesperson has stressed that NAB officers do not make direct contact to suspects due to a rigorous Standard Operating Procedure for communication. NAB has also escalated the issue to the Cyber Crime Wing of FIA and other intelligence agencies to investigate the culprits. He mentioned that multiple cases have been reported to the NAB Peshawar Office, where individuals have received calls from various numbers, purporting to be senior NAB officers. These calls, which request money, are fraudulent and appear to be part of a coordinated effort to tarnish the reputation of the institution and its leadership. NAB has urged the public to immediately report any such calls to the NAB Peshawar Office at PDA Complex Block 3, Phase-V, Hayatabad or by calling 091-9217095.
