Ukrainian cops nab suspects accused of stealing $4.3m from victims across Europe
Ukrainian cops have arrested two suspects and detained 10 others for their alleged roles in a cybercrime gang that used phishing scams and phony online marketplaces to steal more than $4.3 million from over 1,000 victims across Europe.
The fraudsters created more than 100 phishing sites to obtain victims' bank card information and access their accounts, according toThese sites offered various products for sale at below-market prices. But when buyers entered their bank card information to pay for the scam products, instead of getting a good deal, they got their account information stolen — and likely their accounts drained of all their money.
As part of the scam, the fraudsters also opened up two Ukrainian call centers, one in Vinnytsia and the other in Lviv, and hired operators to convince customers to make purchases. Too bad they weren't helping defend their country rather than ripping people off. Police say the victims come from several European countries including the Czech Republic, Poland, France, Spain, Portugal. The crooks bilked them out of more than 160 million hryvnias, or $4.36 million.
