A sophisticated banking scam is currently targeting Meezan Bank customers, raising serious concerns about data privacy and cybersecurity in Pakistan’s banking sector. Scammers are now using “Caller ID Spoofing” to make phone calls appear as if they are coming directly from the bank’s official helpline.
This alarming trend came to light on November 25, when Islamabad-based journalist Ammar Khan Yasir exposed a fraud attempt that nearly cost him his savings.

The incident began when Yasir received a call from what appeared to be Meezan Bank’s official number. According to the journalist, the caller spoke with professional confidence and, shockingly, already possessed every single detail of his bank account.
