FIA Warns Public of Fake Airport Clearance Account

Federal Investigation Agency officials said a fraudulent Instagram account offered bogus pre-departure airport clearance to international passengers leaving Islamabad International Airport. A graphic told travelers to complete online immigration clearance at least one day before their flight to avoid delays and immigration problems.

The post gave a WhatsApp number, called it the contact for an FIA director, and urged passengers to use it for 24/7 support and clearance. Officials said the service has no connection to the FIA and is entirely fraudulent.

The agency has no system for clearance before the day of departure. Immigration clearance is done only at the airport, at the time of departure.

Director General Dr Usman Anwar said the post was fake. A spokesperson for the FIA Islamabad Zone called it impersonation and said the listed number does not belong to any FIA director.
