The Consulate General of Pakistan in Houston has issued an important alert for the community about a growing number of scam phone calls and WhatsApp messages.
Scammers are pretending to be officials from the Embassy, Consulate, FIA, or Pakistani law enforcement agencies. In some cases, they are even using fake documents, uniforms, and caller IDs to appear genuine. Their main goal is to steal personal information, money, and peace of mind.
What You Need to Remember:
- The Consulate never calls to demand money, documents, or personal details.
- Ignore threats – no real Pakistani authority will try to intimidate you through phone or WhatsApp.
- Your safety comes first – protect your data and protect your family.
What You Should Do:
- ❌ Do NOT share personal details with unknown callers.
- ❌ Do NOT transfer money to anyone claiming to be an official.
- ✅ Report suspicious calls immediately with screenshots, call logs, or voice notes.
For reliable updates, always check the Consulate’s official social media pages or contact them directly.
Stay alert. Stay safe. Together, we can stop these scams.
