Earlier this year, on January 31, an 18-year-old man was already arrested in Rotterdam as part of the same investigation. The police do not rule out the possibility of further arrests. So far, more than a hundred victims are known to the police in this bank helpdesk fraud case. The total amount of damage reported by them amounts to over 80,000 euros.

Victim of bank helpdesk fraud
Many victims of bank helpdesk fraud do not report out of shame or because they think it is pointless. However, reporting is important because it not only enables investigation but also helps prevent further victimization. Not always through investigation, but for example, by fraudulent bank accounts and websites being blocked or taken down sooner.
