A Romanian citizen is one of the most wanted in the FBI cybercrime list. The federations offer 1.000.000 as a reward for information that will lead to his capture.
The name of the fugitive is Nicolae popescu and is alleged to be the leader of an organized crime group that organizes schemes scams on the Internet by posting fake notices purporting to sell various products from various online marketplaces.
Η εγκληματική ομάδα ήταν πολύ καλά οργανωμένη. Οι διαφημίσεις τους, περιείχαν εικόνες των προϊόντων που ισχυρίζονται ότι πωλούσαν και τα πλαστά τιμολόγια που είχαν εκδοθεί ήταν φαινομενικά από νόμιμες online services πληρωμής. Τα τιμολόγια αποστέλλονταν στους αγοραστές, μαζί με τις οδηγίες για την κατάθεση των χρημάτων σε ένα τραπεζικό λογαριασμό στις ΗΠΑ, ο οποίος φυσικά ανήκε στους απατεώνες.
According to the FBI, Popescu has won millions of dollars with cyber-scams targeting US citizens and appearing as auto market websites such as Cars.com and AutoTrader.com. EBay and other similar services were used to advertise cars, motorcycles, craft and other high-value items, ranging from 10.000 to 36.000 dollars.
Along with Popescu, Dumitru Daniel Bosogioiu is also wanted. The feds are offering $750.000 for information leading to his arrest. Together with these two, 11 others are accused, who managed to escape capture in an international takedown which took place in December 2012.
