Authorities in Belgium and the Netherlands have arrested eight suspects linked to a sophisticated phone phishing ring that targeted vulnerable individuals across Europe. The operation, which has been described as a multi-million euro scam, involved criminals impersonating police officers and using fake banking calls to deceive victims. The gang's activities included sending phishing links and conducting door-to-door scams, leading to significant financial losses for those affected. The arrests were part of a larger international effort to dismantle such phishing operations, which have increasingly exploited individuals seeking rentals through platforms like Airbnb.
