<h1>Fake BPO running 'digital arrest' cyber-fraud scheme foiled; 16 arrested, servers, phones and networking gear seized</h1> Police dismantled a fake BPO that recruited workers to operate a 'digital arrest' cyber-fraud scheme targeting foreign victims, primarily in the United States; 16 suspects were arrested and computer hardware, phones and networking equipment were seized. The operation involved impersonation of law-enforcement agencies, use of live servers and scripts to fabricate arrest warrants and intimidate victims into making online payments. Investigations focus on offences including cyber fraud, criminal intimidation, impersonation, and extortion, with cross-border victimization raising potential transnational cooperation and evidence-preservation issues as inquiries continue.
