The gang sent people fake court summonses, accusing them of viewing images of children being sexually abused.
Police in France and Belgium say they have arrested 19 members of gangs who sent people fake court summonses that accused them of viewing images of children being sexually abused.
The man had been stung by the scam on two occasions, first being made to pay 5,978 euros, then another 7,480 euros. "We thought that the fraud was being run by one central structure," said Col Andreu. "However, it turned out to be several little teams which were not linked." Authorities are still trying to understand how many people were affected and believe that six others who were targeted may also have killed themselves.
