Europol paljasti ison verkkohuijauksen, Suomi mukana operaatiossa
Published
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, Europol, has revealed a large-scale online fraud. There may have been more than 50 victims across more than 50 countries. The investigation ended today with arrests.
Finland took part in the lengthy investigation operation. Finnish police cooperated with authorities of other countries. The aim of the operation was to determine who is behind the fraud and to stop its activities.
Online fraud is becoming more common across Europe. Fraudsters often use emails, text messages or fake websites, with which they try to obtain people's personal data or money. The police advise people to be cautious if someone suddenly asks for sensitive information.
More detailed results of the investigation are expected in the near future. Authorities will state in their press releases if assistance is available for Finns who have fallen victim to the fraud.
