How it works
Scammers approach tourists at standalone ATMs and offer to "help" them navigate the machine or avoid fees. Their real goal is to use a hidden card-skimming device and watch the PIN being entered, then drain the account.
How it works
Some Lahore exchange offices advertise a 1.5% commission rate to attract tourists, but use digitally rigged calculators that secretly apply a 20–25% commission. The display shows a favorable rate but the amount handed over is far less than it should be.
