Alicante police have arrested two 29 year old Spanish men, S.S.G. and F.B.H. on charges of computer fraud. The two sent spam and used other people’s bank accounts to bet in online casinos in a fraud which allegedly amounted to 280,000 €. Plane tickets and hotel reservations were also obtained by the pair often using the fraud techniques known as phishing and identity theft.
Police say they found the bank details of thousands of people from all over the world on their computer.
