DANNY : DE HEK

Today I have something big for you, my fellow avengers. The scale of this is hard to wrap your head around. It involves publicly listed criminal organizations in Pakistan, fentanyl trafficking, and a large fraud network in Texas.

Abtach Ltd (now known as Intersys) claims to be Pakistan’s fastest-growing IT firm, with operations across the U.S., UK, UAE, China, South Korea, Dubai, and Texas, and its headquarters in Karachi.

Touting itself as a global digital powerhouse, Abtach offers services like book publishing, ghostwriting, logo design, mobile app development, SEO, and branding to what it claims are over 211,000 clients. But behind the polished marketing and glowing testimonials, a very different picture begins to emerge—one that raises serious, potentially criminal concerns.

I’m publishing this blog not just to expose what’s already been alleged, but to ask a simple question:

Have you had any dealings with Abtach, Digitonics Labs, or one of the many front companies or brands run by this group?

If so, I want to hear from you. Because the deeper we dig, the more this looks like a global scam network masquerading as a tech firm — with possible ties to some of the most notorious criminals in Pakistan’s history.

What Are the Claims?

From their own (Now Archived) website, they boasted:

  • 100% customer satisfaction
  • Unlimited revisions
  • A team of over 1,500 staff
  • Offices in five countries
  • 300% turnover growth in a single year

They call themselves ethical, innovative, and client-obsessed, offering everything from animated videos and social media marketing to content management.

But the fine print tells a different story:

  • Their refund policy? Full of loopholes.
  • Their privacy terms? Vague and evasive.
  • Their terms of service? Designed to give them all the power—and you none.

What Investigators Found

Now here’s where it gets serious.

In a bombshell report by Brian Krebs, Abtach and Digitonics Labs were named as part of a transnational criminal network. These groups have allegedly defrauded victims in the U.S. and globally, using schemes like:

  • Ghostwriting scams
  • Fake trademark registrations
  • Logo design fraud
  • Advance-fee fraud involving fake oil shipments worth hundreds of thousands of dollars

One of the most shocking discoveries: Digitonics Labs, run by Junaid Mansoor and Burhan Mirza, operates ExportHub.com, a site that—at the time of writing—lists fentanyl citrate and carfentanil, along with other active pharmaceutical ingredients such as Alprazolam, Amphetamine, and Ephedrine.

This isn’t just sloppy oversight—this is dangerous trafficking disguised as digital services.

The Shell Company Web

Dozens of shell companies, often traced to the same addresses, form the infrastructure of this fraud empire. Many include “360” in their names—a clear pattern.

Some of the companies include:

360 Digital Marketing LLC, 360 Digi Marketing LTD, Digitonics Labs, Retrocube, Retrocubes, Intersys Ltd, Intermarket Securities Ltd, Supernet Technologies Ltd, eWorldTrade, Abtach DMCC, ExportHub, Octa Group Technologies AU, Talented Ghostwriter, Vox Ghostwriting, and Majestic Ghostwriting.

And it doesn’t stop there—add:

Creative Ink Labs INC, Proficient Helper LLC, Octaverse LLC, Max Mind Tech LLC, Texona Marketing LLC, Technado Pvt Ltd, Sky Soft Tech Pvt Ltd, Lezio Consultation & Technologies, and even QuranMasterOnline.com.

These aren’t just businesses. They’re tools of deception in a well-oiled transnational scam machine.

The Axact Connection

Confused by the similar names? Let me clarify.

Axact was a Pakistani company exposed by The New York Times in 2016 for running a $90 million fake degree mill. Many believe that after Axact’s exposure, Azneem Bilwani—a diversified businessman—saw the opportunity in fraud-based “software house” models and built Abtach in Axact’s image.

And he didn’t build it alone. He recruited Axact insiders, including Muhammad Salman Yousuf, now a senior figure in Abtach operating out of the UK.

According to leaked FIA reports, this network has laundered millions through upselling scams, fake publishing, and blackmail.

What Makes This So Dangerous?

This isn’t your average scam—it’s a weaponised enterprise. Investigators found:

  • Abtach and Digitonics use U.S. visas to import operatives into Texas
  • These operatives launch fake businesses backed by slick websites and Google Ads
  • Victims are blackmailed and extorted
  • Google has shut down hundreds of accounts, but many are still active
  • HSI, FBI, DOJ, and Pakistan’s FIA are involved in ongoing investigations

In 2024 alone, they’re estimated to have spent $40 million on Google Ads—raising the question: Where is all this money coming from?

The Book Publishing / Ghostwriting Scam

This is psychological warfare disguised as publishing.

They impersonate major publishers like Amazon, Penguin, or even The New York Times. Victims are baited with low upfront costs—$1,000 or less—and huge promises of 300% returns, bestsellers, and movie deals.

Then come the upsells: marketing, editing, promotional packages. Victims are pressured and groomed, like in pig butchering scams, until they’re drained emotionally and financially.

Some lose over $100,000, left humiliated and broken.

The Trademark Registration Scam

They offer trademark services at unbelievably low prices—$50 or less. Reps pose as government officials or legal experts. Then they pile on fake fees, threats, and forged documents.

The USPTO itself formally sanctioned Abtach and Digitonics—a rare move that confirms the brazen scale of this fraud.

What You Can Do

This blog is bait—I’m casting a line into the murky waters of global fraud.

If you’ve worked with, been scammed by, or helped expose Abtach/Intersys or Digitonics Labs, get in touch. I want to know:

  • Why are they running POS system companies in the U.S.?
  • Why do they have trucking/logistics companies registered in Texas?
  • Who’s funding this global web?

You can remain anonymous. But your voice can help others.

Let’s Blow the Whistle

If you’re a journalist, law enforcement agent, whistleblower, or former employee:

Now’s the time.

Let’s shut down this fraud factory before more people lose their money, identity, or peace of mind.

Community Response & Next Steps: Help Us Blow the Lid Off This Operation

Since publishing my investigation into Abtach, Intersys, Digitonics Labs, and related scam software houses, I’ve received an overwhelming response from insiders, whistleblowers, and victims — far more than anything I’ve seen in over four years of exposing Ponzi schemes and corporate fraud.

More than 40 people have reached out privately via my LinkedIn Article to share details, express support, or offer assistance — and not a single message came from a satisfied client. That alone speaks volumes.

Some brave individuals have offered to appear on Zoom and speak openly — but given the risk to their safety and livelihood, I’ve decided not to put anyone in that position.

Instead, I’ll be recording a comprehensive follow-up video where I will lay out the tactics, technologies, and threats these organizations are using — based on a growing body of evidence, insider leads, and technical analysis. The goal is clear: to disrupt their operations, expose their bullying and blackmail strategies, and offer victims a secure, anonymous channel to come forward.

What We Still Need to Uncover

If you have any inside knowledge or documentation, please consider contributing. Your identity will never be revealed — but your insight can help bring these networks to their knees.

Here’s what we’re actively trying to learn:

  • How are victims trapped into upselling cycles?
  • Are there known cases of suicide or severe trauma linked to blackmail from Abtach, Digitonics Labs, or affiliates?
  • How exactly does the upselling/blackmail funnel operate inside these companies?
  • What are the new names or front companies Digitonics Labs is using now?
  • Why is P@SHA still associating with Intersys/Abtach — and what’s stopping them from denouncing these operations?
  • Which fraud vertical is the most profitable?
    • Trademark registration scams
    • Ghostwriting/book publishing fraud
    • Impersonation schemes (e.g., AT&T-style fake customer service)
    • Exam cheating services
  • What new scams are emerging from the same playbook?
  • What are the links between Intersys and VSCO Tek?
  • What role does Vinky Bashir play in this network?
  • What is the nature of the relationship between Irsa Faruqui and Azneem Bilwani?
  • How much protection has Adil Rahmani provided to Digitonics Labs from legal action?
  • Which of these scam software houses is the worst in terms of employee abuse and exploitation?

If you have any insight — no matter how small — I want to hear from you. You can Message Me Directly on LinkedIn in total confidence. I will never reveal your name, identity, or location.

This investigation isn’t just about one company. It’s about shutting down an ecosystem of fraud, intimidation, and exploitation hiding behind glossy websites and fake professionalism.

Let’s blow the whistle — together.
