Complaint Regarding Suspected Online Business Scam and Financial Fraud Subject: Complaint Regarding Online Work/Business Scam and Collection of Money I am writing to report a suspected online scam involving a woman who offered an online work/business opportunity through WhatsApp. I had been in contact with her for approximately one year. During this time, she regularly posted WhatsApp status updates about online work and presented it as genuine and authentic. Based on her repeated claims, I trusted her and decided to join the work. After I joined, she told me that the work system had changed and that she was having difficulty managing everything because she was working alone and could not find an administrator. I asked if I could become an administrator, and she agreed. She told me that I needed to bring 15 members to join the work. Following her instructions, I brought members into the work. In total, 14 members, including myself, made payments. The amounts were different for different members. Some paid PKR 5,000, some PKR 4,500, and some approximately PKR 3,500, according to the requirements given to them. After the payments were made, she became unavailable. When I called her number, it showed “The dialed number is powered off.” She later became available and claimed that her WhatsApp number had been banned. She also posted a WhatsApp status saying that her number was repeatedly being banned and that she would use her old number. I do not have her old number. She later claimed that her old number had been sold to another person. However, I have concerns about this explanation and suspect that the communication may still be connected to her. I cannot confirm this and request that the relevant authorities investigate. I have preserved payment screenshots, transaction details, screenshots of some conversations and WhatsApp statuses, and her phone number. Some conversations were set to disappearing messages, so the complete chats are no longer available, but I had taken screenshots of important parts before they disappeared. I believe the members may have been misled into paying for an online work opportunity that was presented as genuine. After receiving the payments, the person became unavailable and the promised work/service was not properly provided. I request investigation into the identity and ownership of the phone number(s), WhatsApp account(s), payment transactions, online business/work being offered, and whether other people have also been affected. I am prepared to provide all available evidence and request appropriate action if fraud is established, as well as assistance regarding recovery of the money paid by the affected members. Affected Members: 14, including myself Payment Amounts: Approximately PKR 3,500, PKR 4,500 and PKR 5,000 Evidence: Payment screenshots, transaction details, conversation/status screenshots and phone number Complainant: Humaira Nadeem Contact Number: 03188819192 Date: 05-09-2026 Suspect's Contact Number: +92 324 7637573 Platform: WhatsApp Complaint Type: Suspected Online Work/Business Scam and Financial Fraud
