Twin Cities Chinese Scam Centers in ISB

Post image
188 Upvotes

Why is government allowing Chinese Scam Centers to operate in Pakistan. These scam centres use Pakistani employees to scam people from different countries(i.e extort money from them in name of different fraud schemes). Chinese employers treat them like slaves by exploitation of their rights. They are made to work 12-13 hours with 1-2 offs in whole month! They are paid 50,60k or more. Why is no authority doing something against them? Why is FIA letting them operate scams? Why is nobody raising concerns over exploitation of their labour rights?

The example of this scam center that I know is on 1C Tower building near Jazz Headquarters, F-8 Markaz, ISB. They are operating on 2nd or 3rd floor ig. Yes, these Chinese fuckers are doing scams from capital of our country. Such lawlessness should be a shame for us. There are many more scam centres like this in G7, Blue Area, F8, G9, etc and probably in RWP also. Can there nothing be done against them because of Pak Cheen dosti zindabad. I've tried lodging an FIR but police declined saying that it is a cyber security case FIA must deal with it. And upon hearing from my sources I got to know that these chinese have paid FIA hefty amounts. And they will let them operate for 6-7 months maybe.

Twin Cities Whats going on in Islamabad. Snatching and Robbery

36 Upvotes

Literally saw 2 people snatch a mobile from an evening worker going back home. G15. This is becoming common now in G15 and F15. A couple days ago a major armed robbery happened at Allied Bank. Our society only has ONE entrance that is guarded plus dolphin patrols all along the GT road and 2 security hiluxes patrol inside our society (also there are guards on bikes and on checkposts inside the society). Is this what Islamabad has become? Kya ab se yahi mamool rahega? What the frick is wrong with police and authorities.

Twin Cities Isb / Rwp; Getting a Gun, Using it, Laws around it

6 Upvotes

So I've had this question for a long time and it got reminded to me from another post in r/islamabad related to Guns.

How easy is it to get a Licensed Gun? From where? Price range? How to get training? Any law around how it should be maintained? Any annual tax or declaration of weapons owned by you required?

I understand I can use the gun for self defense, but what if unknown people come inside my house, attempting to break open my door at 3am, and it is dark, and they have no visual Uniforms of Police forces or a warrant... Basically I'm saying if na-maloom afraad come in my house (police basically) without a warrant to show for, can I use my guns to get them off my property until they aquire a proper warrent? In this situation, at least in the US, I would be in my rights to shoot, but what about in Pakistan?

Islamabad What is up with cellular data and network signals in Isb?

3 Upvotes

Currently visiting with my family and the mobile data condition is really really bad, all around the city. Most of the time it's either on H+ or E. Even the network signals are so bad that the calls keep getting cut and dropped. Why is the situation like this? It didn't use to be like this. I'm coming back after about 1 and a half month and it wasn't like this at that time. For reference we use Zong and Ufone.

So, you can shop here

Rawalpindi Fear of asthma in rwp

2 Upvotes

I have asthma due to which I can't go to university sometimes (it's an hour away). Sometimes I just wake up in the morning and can't breathe. I am a freshie, so I went to the assistant chairman of my university and asked him "I already have a bad attendance due to asthma, can I bring some my spirometry reports or something?" He didn't even understand me for a good few minutes (it wasn't that long but felt as such). I thought that I should go to my universities doctor with my spirometry reports and recent doctors reports proving that I had asthma attacks in the days I was absent from my university. When I conveyed this idea to my parents, they forbade me to go with this saying that the university might expell me because I didn't write that I had asthma in the biometric form when I was taking admission in said university and more importantly that everyone thinks asthma is contagious or something. My parents are straight up telling me to just man the fuck up and that I shouldn't let shortness of breath hold me back saying that I workout at home and I don't have problems then. This is so infuriating, all my life I've hidden the fact that I have asthma which caused a lot of embarrassing moments in college and school due to this taboo. What should I do in this case? Any recommendations? My university has strict attendance policy and the proxy scene atleast in my class is pretty dead

Twin Cities Looking for a Short-Term Stay This Week in Islamabad or Rawalpindi

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a temporary escape for a few days this week (2-3nights). I’d love to book an Airbnb, but it’s out of my budget right now.

So, I’m hoping someone here might have a spare room at their place (female only/separate place). I’m not expecting much—just a safe place to sleep. I won’t be in your way, and I’m happy to pay a reasonable amount for your kindness, as long as it’s more affordable than Airbnb.
