How Did This Happen?
Investigation revealed:
2023: Ayesha rented an apartment, gave landlord CNIC photocopy
Landlord’s son (age 19):
- Made multiple color copies of her CNIC
- Visited various operator franchises
- Registered 6 SIMs using her CNIC
- Staff didn’t verify properly (biometric was loose at that time)
- Created fake identity as “Ayesha Malik”
2024-2025: Used SIMs for mobile loan fraud
- Downloaded 8+ loan apps
- Maximum borrowing from each
- Never repaid anything
- Collection agencies pursued real Ayesha
The Resolution:
Step 1: Police Report (FIA Cybercrime)

- Attached 668 screenshots showing fraud timeline
- Attached operator printouts
- Case registered: FIA/2025/3847

Step 3: Legal Defense
- Hired lawyer (Rs. 25,000 fee)

- 668 evidence (showed clean CNIC before rental)
- FIA complaint copy
- SIM disowning certificates
- Landlord’s son confession (police obtained)
Step 4: Debt Dismissal
- JazzCash: Debt waived after investigation
- EasyPaisa: Cleared her record
- U Microfinance: Cancelled debt
- Other apps: Closed cases
Total Legal Time: 4 months
What She Saved:
💰 Rs. 425,000 fraudulent debt dismissed
⚖️ Criminal record avoided (debt collection can lead to court cases)
🏠 Property safe (liens were being prepared)
👨👩👧 Family stress resolved
💳 Credit score protected
Her Biggest Regret:
“If I had checked 668 in March when calls started, I would have caught this with just Rs. 50,000 fraud. I waited until Rs. 425,000. Check 668 at FIRST warning sign, not after legal notice arrives.”
What Triggered Her Action:
One simple suggestion from colleague: “Try 668”
One 30-second SMS
Changed everything

STORY #2: The Businessman’s Rs. 3 Million Partnership Fraud
The Person:
Tariq Ahmed, 41, Import Business Owner, Rawalpindi
15 years in business, looking to expand with new partner
The Situation:
January 2026:
- Met potential business partner “Khalid Hussain”
- Khalid proposed Rs. 5M joint investment
- Import business for auto parts
- Khalid would invest Rs. 3M, Tariq Rs. 2M
- Documents looked perfect
- CNIC verified (real CNIC, matched face)
February 2026:
- Partnership deed being drafted
- Lawyers reviewing
- Tariq ready to transfer Rs. 2M
One week before transfer deadline:
Tariq’s friend (who had read about 668) suggested: “Before investing millions, check his CNIC via 668. See his financial health.”
The 668 Check:
Khalid’s CNIC sent to 668 (with his written permission in partnership MOU):
Result:
Total SIMs: 0
Jazz: 0
Zong: 0
Telenor: 0
Ufone: 0
SCO: 0
ZERO SIMS?
For a “businessman” claiming 10+ years experience?
For someone supposedly running active business?
Impossible.
The Investigation:
Step 1: Verification via 667
Tariq asked: “Let me borrow your phone for 2 minutes for a call”
Inserted Khalid’s SIM → Sent MNP to 667
Result:
Name: Muhammad Aslam
CNIC: 37605-XXXXXX-3
Network: Jazz
Status: Active
NOT Khalid Hussain!
Step 2: CNIC Cross-Check
Tariq’s lawyer sent CNIC for NADRA verification:
NADRA Result:
- Name: Khalid Hussain
- CNIC: 35201-XXXXXX-7 (matched provided CNIC)
- Status: DECEASED (Died: August 2024)
THE PERSON WAS DEAD!
The Fraud Scheme:
What investigation revealed:
Real Khalid Hussain:
- Died in car accident August 2024
- Family grieving, didn’t monitor his identity
Fraudster (real name: Muhammad Aslam):
- Obtained deceased’s CNIC from family friend
- Got professional makeup/disguise
- Looked similar enough to CNIC photo
- Created fake business documents
- Approached multiple businessmen
- Scheme: Take investment money, disappear
Why 668 showed ZERO:
- Dead person’s CNIC gets flagged in system
- All SIMs auto-blocked within 6 months of death
- 668 shows 0 for deceased CNICs
- His actual working SIM (Muhammad Aslam’s real number) was on different CNIC
The Resolution:
Immediate action:
- Tariq cancelled partnership
- Informed police
- Muhammad Aslam arrested (was approaching 3 other investors)
- Recovered Rs. 1.2M from his accounts (from previous victim)
Police investigation found:
- 4 previous victims (total Rs. 8M stolen)
- Aslam had criminal history (fraud, forgery)
- Used dead people’s CNICs for multiple schemes
What Tariq Saved:
💰 Rs. 2,000,000 investment (would’ve been stolen)
⚖️ Legal battles avoided (previous victims still in court after 2 years)
💼 Business reputation intact
🕒 Years of stress prevented
👨👩👧👦 Family security maintained
His Advice:
“Before any major business deal, check 668. If someone is established businessman but 668 shows 0 SIMs, something is VERY wrong. Dead people can’t do business. That zero saved my Rs. 2 million.”
STORY #3: The Property Buyer’s Rs. 15 Million Scam
The Person:
Hina Riaz, 38, Software Engineer (US-based), Buying Property in Lahore
Living in California, investing in Pakistan property
The Situation:
December 2025:
- Found “perfect” house in DHA Lahore
- Price: Rs. 15M (below market by Rs. 2M)
- Seller: “Colonel (Retired) Rashid Mahmood”
- Documents looked legitimate
- Property verified by agent
- Ready to transfer amount from US
Warning sign she noticed: Seller was VERY eager to close deal within 1 week. Pressuring for immediate payment.
What made her pause:
She shared details with cousin in Pakistan who said: “Sounds too eager. Check his CNIC with 668 before sending millions.”
The 668 Check:
She requested seller’s CNIC for “standard verification”
Seller initially hesitated, then provided.
CNIC sent to 668:
Result:
Total SIMs: 27
Jazz: 9
Zong: 7
Telenor: 6
Ufone: 5
SCO: 0
27 SIMS! (Maximum allowed: 25, but he had 27)
For a “retired colonel” claiming stable life?
The Investigation:
Step 1: Property Records Check
Her lawyer checked property records:
Discovery:
- Property owner: Late Rashid Mahmood (died 2023)
- Inheritance case: Pending in court
- 3 heirs fighting over property
- Property legally LOCKED, cannot be sold
Step 2: CNIC Verification
NADRA check on provided CNIC:
Result:
- CNIC belonged to nephew of deceased
- Not actual property owner
- Nephew had criminal record
- Multiple property fraud cases registered
The Fraud Scheme:
How it worked:
Real Story:
- Col. Rashid died 2023
- Left house in DHA
- 3 children + 1 nephew fighting over inheritance
- Case in court for 2+ years
Nephew’s scheme:
- Created fake power of attorney
- Forged seller documents
- Listed property slightly below market
- Targeted overseas Pakistanis (can’t verify easily)
- Pressure for quick sale (before victim discovers fraud)
- Would take Rs. 15M and disappear
- Property would never transfer (stuck in court)
Why 27 SIMs exposed him:
- Needed multiple numbers for scam operation
- Different loan apps
- Different communication lines
- Avoid being traced on single number
- 27 SIMs = professional fraudster
The Resolution:
Hina’s actions:
- Cancelled deal immediately
- Reported to FIA
- Shared info with 4 other buyers (nephew had approached)
- Nephew arrested
- Found Rs. 8M in his account (from 2 previous victims)
Nephew confessed:
- Had defrauded 2 overseas Pakistanis already
- Total stolen: Rs. 8M
- Spent on luxury cars, gambling
- Victims still fighting legal cases to recover
What Hina Saved:
💰 Rs. 15,000,000 (her entire savings)
🏠 Years of legal battles (previous victims still in court)
💔 Emotional trauma (losing life savings)
🛂 Multiple trips to Pakistan for court (time + cost)
⚖️ Property ownership headache (would never get house)
Her Advice:
“27 SIMs on one CNIC is a LOUD alarm. Normal stable person has 3-8 SIMs maximum. 20+ SIMs means either fraud operation or extreme financial distress. Either way, don’t do business with them. That 668 check saved my life savings.”
STORY #4: The Divorce Protection Success
The Person:
Sara Khan, 29, Marketing Manager, Karachi
Recently divorced (March 2025), shared CNIC copies with ex-husband during marriage
The Situation:
March 2025: Divorce finalized
Her worry: Ex-husband had access to:
- CNIC photocopies
- Passport copies
- Bank documents
- Had exhibited vindictive behavior during divorce

😰 Emotional trauma from financial harassment
🛡️ Future loan rejections (bad credit)
Most importantly: Caught fraud at registration stage, BEFORE any damage
For Guidance What Happens When a SIM Is Blocked by PTA in Pakistan — Complete Guide 2026
Her System:
Monthly monitoring schedule:
- 1st of every month: 668 check
- Screenshot result
- Compare with previous month
- Any change = immediate investigation
She continued monitoring for 6 months post-divorce:
- May, June, July, August, September, October
- Count remained stable at 3
- No further fraud attempts
After 6 months: Reduced to quarterly checks (feels safe now)
Her Advice:
“After divorce, separation, or relationship ending, monitor 668 WEEKLY for first month, then MONTHLY for 6 months. Minimum. Ex-partners with your CNIC copies are high-risk. Don’t wait for fraud to happen. Prevent it with 668 monitoring. It takes 30 seconds per month.”
STORY #5: The Job Applicant’s Hidden Truth
The Person:
Imran Farooq, 45, Restaurant Chain Owner, Islamabad
Hiring manager for cashier position (handles Rs. 300,000 daily)
The Situation:
February 2026:
- Applicant: Bilal Ahmad, 28
- CV impressive (5 years retail experience)
- Interview excellent
- References checked out
- Background verification by agency: Clean
- Salary: Rs. 45,000/month
- Ready to hire
Imran’s partner suggested:
“We handle Rs. 10M monthly. Check his 668 before giving access to cash. See if he has financial stress indicators.”
The 668 Check:
Employment application included: “I consent to CNIC verification”
Bilal’s CNIC sent to 668:
Result:
Total SIMs: 19
Jazz: 6
Zong: 5
Telenor: 4
Ufone: 3
SCO: 1
19 SIMs!
For a 28-year-old retail worker?
The Interview Follow-up:
Next day, Imran called Bilal back:
“Your application shows 19 SIM registrations. Can you explain?”
Bilal’s response:
Shocked. Didn’t know he had 19.
Claimed “maybe old SIMs I forgot about.”
Imran: “When did you last check 668?”
Bilal: “Never checked it.”
Imran: “Check it right now with me. Let’s investigate together.”
The Investigation (Conducted Together):
Step 1: Operator Visits
They visited all 4 operators together (Imran + Bilal)
Findings:
Jazz – 6 SIMs:
- Bilal recognized 2 (his personal + backup)
- 4 unknown numbers
- Registered 2023-2024
- He never registered these
Zong – 5 SIMs:
- Recognized 1
- 4 unauthorized
Telenor – 4 SIMs:
- All 4 unknown to him!
- Never had any Telenor SIM
Total unauthorized: 12 SIMs out of 19
Step 2: Investigation
How did this happen to Bilal?
2022: Bilal’s wallet stolen (contained CNIC)
2023-2024: Thief used CNIC photocopy to register SIMs
Why Bilal didn’t know:
- Never checked 668
- No one taught him
- Fraud was “silent” (no loans taken yet)
- Thief was building identity infrastructure
What thief was doing:
- Registered 12 SIMs slowly over 2 years
- Keeping them active
- Building trust with operators
- Planning large-scale fraud
- Would’ve executed Rs. 500,000+ loan fraud in coming months
The Resolution:
Imran’s decision:
“Bilal, you’re not a fraudster. You’re a VICTIM. But I can’t hire you with 19 SIMs. Here’s what we’ll do:”
The Plan:
- Postpone hiring by 2 weeks
- Help Bilal block all 12 unauthorized SIMs
- Reduce count to 7 (his legitimate ones)
- File police report about theft fraud
- Then proceed with hiring
They spent 1 week:
- Visited all operators
- Filed disowning requests
- Blocked all 12 unauthorized SIMs
- Filed FIA complaint
- Got blocking certificates
Week 2:
- 668 check again: Now showed 7 SIMs
- Clean record achieved
- Imran hired Bilal
What This Prevented:
For Imran (Employer): 💰 Potential employee theft (person under financial stress)
🔍 Hiring risky candidate (19 SIMs = fraud indicators)
💼 Business loss (employee fraud averages Rs. 500K-2M in retail)
For Bilal (Employee): 💰 Future fraud (thief would’ve executed soon)
⚖️ Legal liability (Bilal would be held responsible)
💳 Loan fraud (Rs. 500K+ was being planned)
👔 Job rejection (high SIM count = unemployable)
The Outcome:
4 months later:
Bilal is excellent employee (Imran’s trust was correct)
Bilal now checks 668 monthly (learned the importance)
Thief was never caught (police couldn’t trace) but fraud prevented
Imran now checks ALL employees’ 668 during hiring:
- Anyone with 15+ SIMs = rejected or must clean up first
- 10-14 SIMs = requires explanation
- Below 10 = acceptable
Imran’s Hiring Policy Now:
SIM Count (668) Hiring Decision
1-8 SIMs ✅ Acceptable (proceed normally)
9-12 SIMs 🟡 Ask for explanation
13-15 SIMs 🟠 Deep verification needed
16+ SIMs 🔴 Reject OR help clean up first
His Advice:
“Every employer should check 668 during hiring, especially for positions handling money. Not to discriminate, but to help. Bilal didn’t know he was fraud victim. We helped him clean up. Now he’s great employee and his CNIC is safe. Win-win.”
Common Patterns Across All Stories
Pattern #1: Ignored Warning Signs
- Ayesha: Ignored harassing calls for 2 months
- Everyone: Could’ve checked 668 earlier
- Lesson: First warning sign = check 668 immediately
Pattern #2: CNIC Copy Misuse
- Ayesha: Landlord’s son
- Sara: Ex-husband
- Bilal: Thief after wallet stolen
- Lesson: CNIC copies in wrong hands = fraud risk
Pattern #3: 668 as Detective
- Caught fraud at different stages
- Prevented future fraud
- Provided timeline evidence
- Lesson: 668 isn’t just counter, it’s fraud detector
Pattern #4: Speed of Action
- Those who acted fast (Sara, Hina) = prevented damage
- Those who delayed (Ayesha) = fought Rs. 425K fraud
- Lesson: Immediate action after 668 alert saves money
Pattern #5: 668 Evidence Wins Legal Battles
- All 5 stories: 668 screenshots were key evidence
- Courts accepted 668 timeline as proof
- Police used 668 for investigations
- Lesson: 668 is legal evidence, not just information
What You Should Learn From These Stories
Lesson #1: Check 668 Monthly (Minimum)
If these people had checked regularly:
- Ayesha: Would’ve caught fraud at 1 SIM, not 7
- Bilal: Would’ve discovered 12 unauthorized SIMs earlier
- Sara: Caught fraud within 2 weeks (perfect example)
Monthly checking prevents:
- Small frauds becoming big
- Emergency situations
- Legal liabilities
Lesson #2: High SIM Counts Are Red Flags
Normal person: 2-8 SIMs
Business person: 8-15 SIMs (with good reason)
WARNING ZONE: 16-20 SIMs
ALERT: 20+ SIMs = fraud operation or victim
Red flags in stories:
- 19 SIMs (Bilal) = victim
- 27 SIMs (property fraudster) = criminal operator
- 0 SIMs (dead person impersonator) = fraud
Lesson #3: 668 for Due Diligence
Before major decisions:
- Marriage: Check partner’s CNIC
- Business: Check partner’s CNIC
- Property: Check seller’s CNIC
- Hiring: Check employee’s CNIC
- Loans: Check your own CNIC
Why: 668 reveals financial health, fraud history, identity issues
Lesson #4: Combine 668 + 667
Best protection:
- Monthly 668: Check CNIC count
- Monthly 667: Verify each SIM ownership
- Compare: Should match exactly
This catches:
- Unauthorized SIMs (668 shows extra)
- SIM swaps (667 shows different name)
- Fraud patterns
Lesson #5: Act Within 24 Hours
All successful resolutions:
- Discovered via 668
- Visited franchises same day or next day
- Filed complaints immediately
- Blocked SIMs within 48 hours
Delayed action:
- Ayesha waited months = Rs. 425K fraud
- Others acted fast = minimal damage
Rule: 668 alert → visit franchise within 24 hours → block unauthorized SIMs
