US authorities have uncovered a major healthcare fraud scheme allegedly involving five Pakistani nationals and a call centre operating from Pakistan.
According to details released by US health authorities, the suspects are accused of defrauding the US healthcare system of approximately $70 million, equivalent to around Rs200 billion.
Investigators allege that the suspects operated a fraudulent call centre in Pakistan under the name Hello International.
Five Pakistani nationals, including a woman, have reportedly been identified in connection with the case. The woman is believed to have fled the United States and may currently be in Dubai or Pakistan.According to the allegations, the fraud was carried out between 2023 and 2025 through fraudulent invoices and the use of stolen personal information belonging to US citizens.
Investigators further allege that the suspects obtained victims’ personal data and used artificial intelligence technology to replicate their voices.
The stolen information and AI-generated voices were allegedly used during verification and clearance procedures to facilitate fraudulent healthcare transactions.
US authorities have described the case as a significant healthcare fraud investigation and have placed the suspects on a wanted list as efforts continue to locate and prosecute those allegedly involved.
The case comes amid increased scrutiny of fraudulent call centre operations linked to Pakistan. In a separate development, the Federal Investigation Agency recently deported 20 foreign nationals over alleged involvement in illegal call centre activities.
The allegations in the US healthcare fraud case have not been independently verified, and the accused are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
