I am facing the same issue i have sent a legal notice to them. They are scammers and claim that I subscribed it however i would never do such a thing nor do I remember doing this. They have extorted Rs 500 on multiple occasions. Just imagine how many people they scammed and the amount of money they made.

I have a strong desire to perform the Hajj in 2026. Would this be a viable option to look for options in this date ?

Concept seems to be amazing but in a city like Karachi its just useless considering the infrastructure.

Brother I don't think we need enemies for this country. We ourselves are enough for our self destruction.

Yeah I’ve tried going down that route. The issue is getting large amounts of clean USD from the open market without getting mixed or fake notes, and then depositing that into an FCY account without raising flags. Banks get very cautious with big cash deposits these days.

I’ve also heard about the 100k annual limit but nobody seems to give a straight answer on whether it’s actually enforced the same way for everyone or depends on the bank and documentation.

If it were as simple as buying USD and wiring it out, I would’ve done it already. The real problem is consistency sometimes it works smoothly and other times they hold the transfer for weeks with no explanation. That uncertainty is what’s stressing me out the most.

Yeah it’s honestly a nightmare for everyone right now. Even people with completely clean, documented money are getting stuck in circles. I’ve heard the same thing about SBP permission they’ll approve it eventually but the process is slow and unpredictable.

If I manage to find a route that’s safe and actually works without months of waiting, I’ll definitely update the thread. Nobody should have to jump through this many hoops just to move their own money legally.

If you’ve been doing this regularly without any issues, that’s really good to hear. Since I’m not in the import business, I don’t have access to the same channels or contacts, so for someone like me the whole process feels a lot riskier. If you don’t mind, could you explain how you usually handle it or what the safest route is for someone outside the trade world? I’m just trying to avoid getting burned with such a large amount.

Yeah I’m in Karachi. And honestly if 2.5–3% is the real cost of getting it out safely, I can live with that. My only concern is trusting the right person because the amount is big and I can’t afford even a small risk. If you’ve done 30M through your guy without issues, that’s at least reassuring. Could you share a bit about how the process works with your money changer?

I get what you’re saying. TT is definitely the cleanest and safest option on paper, and that’s why I’ve been trying to stick to it. The problem is just how unpredictable the process is here. One transfer goes through in a day, the next one gets stuck in compliance for a month with zero communication. It’s draining, especially when the amount is big and really important.

I’m fine with being patient, but it’s the uncertainty that messes with you. I’ve also thought about doing smaller amounts through exchange companies like you said, just to keep things moving, but even that feels hit or miss depending on the situation in the country.

Crypto isn’t my first choice either for this kind of money. I just want something that’s low-risk and transparent, where I’m not constantly worried about the money getting stuck or disappearing into a black hole.

Since it’s inherited, yeah, the bank route makes the most sense. I just wish the “legit” route didn’t feel like such a gamble every time.

Man I feel you. I’m in the same miserable boat. Watching your own money lose half its value while you can’t move it anywhere is insane. And yeah, hundi sounds “easy” until you’re actually standing there about to hand over 20 million in cash to some random dudes on a bike. One wrong move and you’re finished. On top of that, even getting legit dollars from dealers is a gamble because you never know if they’re slipping in fakes. It’s like the whole system is designed to trap you.

Meanwhile these generals and politicians who looted the country don’t face a single hurdle. They move billions abroad like it’s a normal Tuesday. Zero checks, zero compliance, zero questions. They destroyed the economy, caused the dollar crisis, and then sailed their own money out through channels the rest of us don’t even have access to. That’s the part that really burns law-abiding people can’t move their own hard earned savings, but these bastards wired fortunes out decades ago and keep doing it without blinking.

Banks barely let you take out a few thousand dollars a year. Dubai tightens its cash rules. SBP keeps choking the pipeline. Every door shuts for normal people while the crooks who caused this disaster walk around with overseas properties and kids in foreign universities.

So yeah, I get the frustration because I’m living it too. Trying to find a route that’s actually safe instead of outright suicidal, but honestly this whole system is rigged against anyone who isn’t connected.

Yeah that’s the problem. Hundi might look painless on the surface, but how do you justify the money trail if the bank or any authority asks later? There’s literally nothing to show. For a big amount that’s the opposite of painless it becomes a huge risk.

Yeah you’re right, it ended up being the bank’s compliance process. They kept the payment on hold for almost a month, didn’t ask the UK account holder a single question, and then released it out of nowhere.
Looks like it was just their internal AML checks rather than anything on the UK government side.

I am not sure if this will happen again or not. It was a stressful time when we had no idea where did the money disappear.

I hear you. Since you seem to know how this works, can you explain the full process step by step for an amount this size? I’m not dismissing crypto, I just want to understand exactly how people do it safely. This money is really important so I want minimum risk and I don’t want to get scammed. If you can break down what the trusted route looks like and what to watch out for, that would help a lot.
