LAHORE: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) on Sunday warned citizens applying for civilian arms licenses to remain vigilant against unverified websites and verify web addresses before sharing money or identity details.
The warning comes after reports revealed that citizens in Punjab were being defrauded through fake websites operating under the pretext of facilitating arms license applications. Applicants were being charged exorbitant fees while placing their sensitive personal data at risk of misuse.
According to NADRA officials, applicants must strictly verify the official website address prior to submitting applications or making payments to protect themselves from financial fraud and potential identity theft.
The authority urged the public to rely solely on official, verified platforms for all license-related transactions and report fraudulent online activities to relevant law enforcement agencies.
