Europol has announced the arrest of 95 professional fraudsters and members of internet-based criminal networks suspected of online fraud activities as part of its 2018 e-Commerce Action. The suspects arrested during the operation are thought to be responsible for more than 20,000 fraudulent transactions with compromised credit cards, exceeding an estimated EUR 8 million in value. The 2018 e-Commerce Action was a joint law enforcement operation coordinated by the European Cybercrime Center from Europol\u2019s headquarters. It sought to combat card-not-present fraud through coordinated law enforcement action and an awareness-raising campaign. Europol received direct assistance from merchants, logistic companies, banks and payment card schemes during the action. They also supported national authorities by providing analytical services.<\/p>\n

Europol has also announced that this action marks the start of several investigations and that more arrests are expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n
