The National Database and Registration Authority issued a warning to residents across Punjab on cyber platforms, cautioning individuals to watch out for deceptive websites that target people seeking civilian arms licenses.
Reports indicate that fraudsters established fake internet portals mimicking official arms license application services. These fraudulent sites demand exorbitant fees from applicants and expose private personal details to potential misuse.
Authorities advised applicants to thoroughly check web addresses prior to submitting forms, sharing identification details, or sending funds. People must steer clear of unverified services that offer help with obtaining licenses.
The agency stressed the necessity of confirming a site is genuine before typing in personal details or sending money. Individuals who neglect to check platform legitimacy risk losing money and exposing their identity records to abuse.
This alert points out the dangers tied to dishonest digital services and urges people to stay careful when requesting official documents online. The agency instructed applicants to stay watchful and rely only on approved digital portals for requests.
