ABOUT Diary of Seville reports in Spain that FC Porto and Anderlecht are part of a group of European companies that have been swindled by a computer scam. The newspaper reports that the dragons lost 90 thousand euros and that the Belgians “delivered” half a million to the scammers, who were supposed to be based in Seville.
The scheme, known as “Man in the middle”, consists of intercepting electronic communications between suppliers and customers in order to access exchanged documents, usually invoices.
The criminals then pose as suppliers and demand payment of their bills by providing a new bank account. When money is deposited there, it is transferred to a second account, a third account, or even withdrawn. Thus, fraudsters appropriated more than two million euros from various companies in Europe.
ABOUT Diary of Seville he also writes that the Spanish police detained seven people as part of an operation called “Lucus”, which began with a denunciation of a chain of perfume stores that lost 200 thousand euros on this scheme.
