70 people in Romania were arrested yesterday following Police investigations into Ebay scams that left approximately 800 victims worldwide without the luxury items they had bidded for.
The expensive items auctioned by the scammers (a group thought to consist of people from three seperate gangs) included cars, motorbikes, rolex watches and recreational aircraft. A total amount of €800,000 was handed over to the gang members by bidders and no items were exchanged after the transaction took place.
An investigation by the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) tracked down the men and used 101 search warrants to collect numerous laptops, computing devices and thousands of euros from several different properties.
