The UK’s biggest ever fraud sting has brought down a phone number spoofing site used by criminals to scam thousands of victims out of millions of pounds.
Members of British law enforcement were part of a global operation to bring down ispoof.cc, a website described by police as an online fraud shop.
They worked with Dutch investigators who tapped the website’s servers in the Netherlands to secretly listen to phone calls.
At one point as many as 20 people every minute were being targeted by callers using technology bought from the site.
