[pchelpers] News:Romainian authorities arrest cybercrime suspects

By Grant Gross , IDG News Service , 07/16/2008

Authorities have arrested more than 20 people in Romania who are
suspected of running online fraud schemes, according to media reports.

The Tuesday arrests were confirmed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of
Investigation, which has been working with Romanian officials on
cybercrime in recent months. The FBI would say only that the agency is
aware of the arrests and because "this is an ongoing matter, we will
have no further comment at this time."

Romanian news reports suggested the number of people arrested there was
between 21 and 24. Mediafax.ro reported that the suspects were accused
of stealing identities online, in apparent phishing or auction-fraud
schemes, and that they had taken US$640,000 from non-Romanians. Several
U.S. Web sites, including eBay, were targets of the fraud, according to
news reports
