The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has recovered Rs. 2.5 million for a woman allegedly targeted by an online spiritual healing scam.

The woman had reportedly lost the money to a fake spiritual healer operating through a Facebook page. The page was named “Qurani Wazaif” and allegedly offered spiritual services in exchange for payments.

According to an NCCIA spokesperson, the victim was identified as Syeda Arjumand. She approached the agency after being cheated through the social media account.

The woman operating the Facebook page allegedly attracted people by promising spiritual treatment. She also claimed to offer solutions to personal problems and assistance from supernatural helpers.

These helpers were described as Muwakkils. The victim was reportedly promised two such helpers to resolve her personal difficulties.

However, the promises allegedly resulted in financial fraud. The victim transferred a total of Rs. 2.5 million through multiple payments in November 2025.

The money was sent to several bank accounts. One of these accounts reportedly belonged to a man identified as Aafaq.

After receiving the complaint, the NCCIA Karachi Zone launched an investigation into the matter. Investigators traced the bank account holder during their inquiry.

The agency subsequently helped recover the entire amount for the affected woman. The recovered money totalled Rs. 2.5 million.

The NCCIA has confirmed that further investigation is still underway. Authorities are working to identify everyone involved in the alleged scam.

The agency may take action against the individuals found responsible. However, the investigation has not yet been completed.

The case highlights the risks associated with online accounts offering spiritual services for money. Fraudsters can use religious language and personal difficulties to gain people’s trust.

The NCCIA has advised the public to remain cautious when dealing with such social media accounts. People should carefully examine claims made by individuals offering spiritual healing or special remedies.

The agency has particularly warned against accounts demanding payments in the name of religious services. Users should avoid transferring money without verifying the identity and credibility of service providers.

The recovery also highlights the importance of reporting online financial fraud. Victims should approach the relevant authorities when they suspect they have been deceived.
