Police bust global cyber gang accused of industrial-scale fraud Police have taken down a gang accused of using a technology service that helped criminals use fraudulent text messages to steal from victims.
They have arrested 37 people worldwide and are contacting victims.
I don’t understand this, did they tell you that they were sending it to the DC for no reason and they later delivered it to your door? Or they expecting you to go to the DC to pick it up?
Their m.o. for the non-international shippings is they send you an sms telling you’re expected to go somewhere else to pick up your package (problem is they don’t always choose their service points very carefully imo), even though you expected that delivery to your door. I can only assume it happened the same to bowlie.
Been going for a while. Earlier versions last year were a real person, leading to ‘there’s a warrant for your arrest, your bank account will be frozen, transfer all your money to this safe place’.

I just went to amazon.de to order something and in the top left corner that usually has my delivery address, there is Lebanon 66952. I was not able to change it.

Quick thinking by an elderly man in canton Zurich has netted a group of fraudsters and police have recovered half a million francs in cash.
The man got a phone call, supposedly from the police, which said that some cash he recently deposited was fake and he needed to withdraw it and give it to an officer who would be visiting him shortly.
The 79-year-old agreed to the offer on the phone – but instead of taking out the cash, he told the police.
The tip off allowed officers in Zurich and canton Solothurn to make several arrests and recover a large amount of cash.
Four people three men and a woman aged between 24 and 43 are now in the hands of prosecutors.
