The recent surge in bank account freezes in Pakistan has left many people confused and struggling to find solutions. Most of these cases are tied to cryptocurrency transactions, where scammers take advantage of unsuspecting individuals through sophisticated fraud schemes.
How the Scam Works
Here’s how the typical crypto scam unfolds:
Too Good to Be True Offers: Scammers approach people with offers to buy cryptocurrency at unrealistically high rates.
Victim Participation: Believing it’s a great deal, the victim receives payment, buys cryptocurrency on peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms, and transfers it to the scammer.
The Fallout: Soon after, the victim’s bank account is frozen because the payment they received came from a stolen source. When the fraud is reported, all linked accounts in the transaction chain get blocked, leaving innocent traders in trouble.
A Growing Problem: Key Stats for 2024
Frozen Accounts: Over 11,000 accounts have been frozen this year. Alarmingly, 90% of those impacted had no idea they were part of fraudulent transactions.
Restoration Challenges: Only 15% of frozen accounts were unfrozen, and that too after proving legitimate business activities.
Crypto Risks: Declaring crypto-related transactions can result in permanent bank account bans.
How to Stay Safe
Protect yourself by taking these precautions:
Beware of Suspicious Offers: Stay away from crypto deals that seem too good to be true.
Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all transactions to prove their legitimacy if needed.
Stay Informed: Educate yourself about potential scams and the legal risks of trading cryptocurrency in Pakistan.
Why Regulation Matters
The State Bank of Pakistan hasn’t established clear guidelines for P2P crypto transactions, leaving traders exposed to fraud and account freezes. Stronger laws and better enforcement are needed to protect individuals and ensure financial stability in the crypto space.
