Feb 27, 2014

GUJRANWALA: A scam of withdrawing money from various money transfer providers like Easy Paisa, Mobi Cash and UBL Omni by swindlers surfaced on Wednesday when two suspects were arrested who took away Rs1.1 million cash from a currency exchange on fake documents.

All Pakistan Stainless Steel Importers and Traders Association President Khwaja Shujaullah demanded of the government and the inspector general of police to make the person concerned presence with original CNIC compulsory at the time of sending and receiving money from the collection centre to avoid any fraud.

The local money exchange service Western Union had lodged a report with the Model Town police station that two swindlers, Imran and Irfan, withdrew Rs1.1m cash on fake documents.

The police raided and arrested both the accused.
