While individual operations shut scam centres down, the criminal leaders behind them remain difficult to identify, hiding behind intermediaries and shell companies. To help close this gap, INTERPOL is launching Operation Shadow Storm, a new international task force funded by the @ukhomeoffice. Using INTERPOL’s global network and tools, it targets the financial fraud generated by scam centres and their links to cybercrime and human trafficking for forced criminality. INTERPOL is also releasing new guidelines for member countries on the establishment and operation of National Anti-Scam Centres. These are integral to a robust national response.
