Nearly 4,000 Arrested In Global Police Crackdown On Online Scam Networks
Operation First Light was conducted by police officers from 61 countries and targeted phishing, investment fraud, fake online shopping sites, romance scams, and impersonation scams, according to a statement by Interpol.
@ecksmc Soooo, did they get those pesky Nigerian Princes'?
@Kittiekatt53 seized suspects' real estate, high-end vehicles, expensive jewelry, and many other high-value items and collections & froze 6,745 bank accounts used for transferring money obtained through illegal operations.
So, mighta just had a Nigerian prince, or two, in the haul 😆
Namibia, for example, the police rescued 88 local youths who were forced into conducting scams so, that alone is a good win on a good day 😉

#BRAVO, Operation First Light!
