congratulations to interpol for this achievement. I was a victim however the site continues to operate to this day. It is from social networks that they bait potential victims and then rob them of their money. I don't know if putting the link to this fake sports betting website is wise... however they cause a lot of victims from telegram and even sometimes Facebook.

Outstanding!!! These crimes have infiltrated every country, are heinous, elaborate, and continuously destroy lives. The greed and cruelty is astonishing. I have worked some of these cases. They are heartbreaking and infuriating. I am constantly concerned about people that will unknowingly become victims. In addition to being in law enforcement, I am personally so very grateful and proud of each one of you for this monumental achievement!!!

Good Job, Interpool. I have been scammed close to $90,000, and I am currently in debt. I am driving with Uber to pay back the interest on this money every day. I had never been in debt before in my life until I was scammed. These scammers are heartless. They don't care about anyone at all.

Very good to see and clearly international collaboration is the way to go - I was interested to see that this operation included “the dismantling of a sophisticated international scam network in the Namibian capital. In this operation, 88 local youths, who were forced into conducting scams, were rescued”. It shows this activity is spreading and not limited to South East Asia

A good result. And the asset seizures hint that maybe higher strata suspects were also targeted, rather than just those at the bottom level manning the phones and emails. But it’s nowhere near enough. Until countries such as India get serious about targeting and prosecuting the local police and municipal corruption that protects and tolerates these call centres, they will continue to blight our communities. The Indian government excuse is often that no one within India has suffered loss so there is nothing that it can do. In short: bullshit.

Great job!. These scumbags pick out the vulnerable, and cause so much pain and misery to innocent people's lives.

I sent all the details to your email more than 7 months ago in the year 2023, and to date there has been no response to my email? Note that I sent you phone numbers, pictures, and conversations. How long will my complaint be answered?

Interpol is doing a great job It's how important it is for interpol to put more effort on African society the rate of crime in Africa today is too high. Especially country Nigeria where a police officer is the most hate person. Please interpol do something.

Excellent results achieved, targeting transnational financial crime groups.

Good news, but I wish they would catch up to my scammers who are still deluging me with calls. I have current phone #s and other contacts, but none of the agencies I have reported to seem inclined to do anything with the information
