Moroccan Man Arrested in Spain for $5,600 Phishing Scam Targeting Bank Customers

The 35-year-old individual used the "Phishing" method to obtain the confidential codes. He sent fake emails to his victims, pretending to be a bank employee. He asked them to enter their banking information on the fake website of their bank.

Thus, the Moroccan national had managed to steal the banking data of four people and to use it to withdraw nearly 5,200 euros, according to the Spanish channel, Abc.

To avoid pre-trial detention, he was released after paying a bail of 4,000 euros. The local police announced that they had nevertheless seized his car as a guarantee, and that an investigation had been opened to find other possible victims.
