According to a press release DIICOT searches occur simultaneously in Germany and Italy. Investigators say the members of the criminal group  acted in order to obtain substantial financial benefits from the activity of manufacturing / possession of counterfeiting equipment crafted for electronic payment instruments. The devices were made in Romania, transported by shipping companies to Germany and Italy and sold to other suspects for committing skimming activities. Card data thus obtained was used for writing blank cards and then for making fraudulent cash withdrawals from ATMs or make fraudulent financial transactions on POS in EU countries. Another charges is that defendants have launched phishing attacks, targeting customers and legitimate users of online payment service PayPal, in order to obtain the fraudulent data authentication / login (userid info and related passwords) and also the credit card information attached to the accounts. Another component of the criminal activity aimed to misleading many users of auction sites victimizing them through fictitious auctions. The members of the criminal group listed for sale on e-commerce sites mainly expensive jewelries and watches, known brands, goods never owned by the suspects. The suspects received the money from victims through the online payment platform PayPal, without the goods being delivered to buyers. The members of the criminal group were supported by a police officer from the General Metropolitan Police Directorate of Bucharest - CIS District 6, which provided to the members of the criminal group's personal information data of 55 Romanian citizens, data obtained by querying the police database. The information was used by fraudsters to counterfeit Romanian ID documents and to open bank accounts and paypal accounts.   In this case we've been assisted by  the Special Operations Division - IGRP, US Secret Service office from the  U.S. Embassy in Bucharest, authorities in Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France and also by the eBay company. 40 suspects will be brought at DIICOT for hearings who will decide at the end the legal measures.
