There is a great trend in Pakistan where little kids, and I do include immature men in that category, like to call people at odd hours and ask them to “make friendship with them.” In Pakistan, make friendship is to date them. First off, it takes a small man to call someone up and harass them, but then most of Pakistan’s male society is frustrated because of the Mullah code.
Now, since in Pakistan, the only thing that mobile companies will do is warn the person that is making these calls, we have created this Wall of Shame. If you are recieving harassing calls or SMSs, please post them on this site so that we can approach the relevant authorities for the permanent blocking of the number. Even if the number doesn’t get blocked, this will create a registry of stupid callers that can be referenced to PTA and the mobile companies, since they don’t believe that their connections could be used in this way.
I’ll start the list with the following Telenor numbers:
0346 – 263 -7787
0346 – 242 – 3506 – This person is a bi-sexual and has no problem asking men or women to join him in “friendship” so if you are looking to have some fun tonight give him a call. But be careful, he sounds all of 15 years old. Or maybe you can call him up and unload some pent up frustration.
If you are receiving harassing calls or SMSs from any of the mobile companies subscribers, feel free to list their cell number, what they said to you and the time of the call. We will push the mobile companies and PTA to take notice and action once and for all to rid our society of this trash.
And for the owners of the mobile numbers, you gave your right to privacy when you made your first harassing call or SMS. So don’t complain or whine that your number is posted on the internet for everyone to see what kind of person you are.

I would add a further dimension to this debate.
Recently got a Call from a Pakistani Bank, the caller wanted to know, if I needed a Credit Card. I politely declined (the caller was a recent graduate, with one month on the job). On asking the caller, how he got my number, was told that, as I was a customer of a Gora Bank, so they got my details from there (his Boss had given him the list).
Now, the issue is, this Bank got the information (i carry a credit card and my personal cell no) through an ex employee of the Foreign Bank, who copied the database & took it with him on leaving the Bank. He is now using the database to get clients for his NEW employers.
My problems with this are as follows:
a. Bank details are supposed to be CONFIDENTIAL and not to be shared with anyone.
b. I DONT share my Cell No with everyone, as I don’t want to be bothered with too many calls at wrong times (in a meeting, working on a project or with family). So this call was a shocker.
c. How can the new employer know, that this guy would not steal THEIR database, when he leaves for the next opportunity.
d. Where does the stealing end?

Hi… This is a good way to help peoples who are getting unwanted calls too much.. My Fiance told me that she is getting calls from a guy who harras her.
Number is 0321-9551655
Thanks
The problem in pakistan is you can buy as much as number of SIm cards – many complaints are coming but how to deal with them . is there legal law for such kind of harrasment or any punishment for harrasment.

I agree with farzana’s comments that there is no way to stop people to buy and use multiple SIMS from same or different companies. Its a nice initiative and people MUST use this forum to highlight the people creating disturbance in the society
Completely agreed. We have seen some motion from the PTA on stopping the issuance of pre-activated SMSes due to the terrorism problem, but we would like to see a law added to the Pakistan Penal Code for those who use mobile phones, and landlines for that matter, to harass people.
Going back to Kamran’s comment, it’s not just the banks that are doing this. I have personally stopped giving my cell number to any business, unless they are clients of ours. When you give your cell number for deliveries from fast food places and stores are bigger targets for cell phone harassment.
If we start being more responsible about WHO we give our numbers to, it is easier to make sure that we don’t get harassing calls. We have landlines so it’s not really necessary to give a cell number, in my humble opinion.
hi i am so upset because i have been getting unwanted calls/smses for almost two-three months and most prolly this person got my number through cv which i might have dropped somewhere because once he smsed my address/landline number/company name. I am really scared, i replied to his only first call because at that time i did not know that it was an unwanted call but after that the series of unwanted calls/smses from different numbers have started off. His number is 0331-5346530. My friends were asking me to register complaint to Telephone complaint cell but i am little reluctant about it since he has my landline number and address as well.I dont want to create any scene infront of my home or even at my workplace. i don’t understand what kind of fun people have by harassing others specially when the other person is not your type.I am pissed off , I am scared and I am upset.
ABC,
I really wish that people wouldn’t behave like children in Pakistan. Around the world, people are granted an amount of privacy in everything they do. In Pakistan, places like McDonald’s have the stupidity to think that asking customers for national ID card numbers for their database is acceptable. I personally called McDonald’s to place a delivery order to have them ask me for very personal information about salary, rental/property price, education, etc. Without privacy laws, this will continue. Sadly, when we ask for feedback in terms of issues and social problems, there are no responses.
A few suggestions that we learned work from this post.
First, write a letter to the concerned cellular company. If a formal complaint is logged with the cell company, they must look into it. Also, provide the same letter to your cell company, so that they also follow it up and work to resolve the problem. You will most likely be asked to fax them the letter. Please send it via courier so that you can confirm that it has been received. Pakistani companies tend to “lose” complaints.
Next, write a letter to PTA, including a copy of the complaint. Most of the time, PTA is never notified of the complaint thereby assuring that it is never resolved. The reason that you notify PTA is because they can blacklist the subscriber who harassing you so that they can’t get a cell in their name, prepaid or postpaid, from any cell company.
In both of these letters, please put as much detail about the time/date of the call, what (if anything) was said, and how many times it has happened. This information is important so that the cell company can confirm the information and take action.
Now, in terms of him having your address and landline number. If you feel this person is a dangerous threat, you should contact CPLC. CPLC is the best equipped to handle dangerous threats and getting the best resolution. CPLC will also take care of making sure there is security at your home and that your landline is monitored by a live person from CPLC, so that any threats are handled immediately. I don’t count on the police to do anything pro-active about it, CPLC will.
I wish that we could provide more assistance, but this has to be handled correctly and that can only be done by professionals.
hey there guys!!!
just recently i started having calls from a number: 03085637183
dont know who that crap is but he only likes to give miss-calls rather than talking out loud.
so his this attitude is quite irritating.
any suggestions to get rid,
This is great. I really appreciate you idea of creating a Wall of Shame. However, in truth, putting up people’s numbers would not do any good.
The main reason behind this is the fact that so many cell-phone operators have opened up in Pakistan and with so low rates for calls and sms. Besides, it is now a sort of “fashion” to have cell-phones even with kids. With the rates they are charging and no proper monitoring from the parents end, such prank calls are bound to happen.
Even worse is the fact that due to the enormous competition, the ridiculously low rates at night time are encouraging this type of behavior.
I don’t think that putting up someone’s numbers like this can actually help because it is very easy to get another number from another operator (or the same operator) and the culprits can continue doing what they do.
What we actually need is proper supervisions in cases of kids and for the cell-phone operators to monitor who they are giving out the numbers to and how many numbers on a single CNIC. Unless these companies put a leash on their rates, I don’t think an effective solution can exist for this problem.
Yet, this is a very good idea.
Slam, plz note someone stupid guy has been having volgure messegaes and unwanted calls at my fiances’s cell no. the numbers are 0300-4794610 & 0321-8801075. please do somthing to teach a seriouse lesson to such bad guys. Thx.
Hello everyone,
I totally agree with you guys that we don’t have any kind of law to stop these harassment calls / SMS except a polite warning, even if you are complaining to the any law enforcement department they will say, ” itna masla hay to sim change karlo”.
The thing is when will we have the complete law policy about these types of harassments and when will get rif off them.
Flood the PTA with letters, telephones and emails telling them to stop this stuff and they will
ASALAM O ALIKUM everyone…my opinion is that if any1 who has lot of free time and enjoy teasing others,besides going to poor autorities and beging thm fr help why dun we figure out sum solution by ourself?.
so if ur girl, whn eva 1 calls u recive the call n gv to ur father/brother/frnd….or any male 3 4 times aftr talking to guy he wnt call again.
its my personal experience…
n if u wnt to really enjoy thn whn eva 1 calls ,recive the call n put it on mute,most ppl r poor in our country so definetly 1 wll nt do aftr havn ths thing 3 4 times…enjoy
ALLAH HAFIZ

when ever i get such a call i just recieve it and let him do the talking and after a while when the caller realizes that i am not hearing his call and he is wasting his time and money he wont call again if he does i would just repeat what i did before …surely the result would be in your favor …
