NCA to launch crackdown on cross-border fraudsters

CROSS-BORDER scams are costing Europeans billions of euro each year but a crackdown being launched today should make life harder for the fraudsters.

Up to now the Irish authorities trying to track down for instance on bogus lottery letters from Spain have run into difficulties making catching the con artists almost impossible.

From today the National Consumer Agency (NCA) in Ireland and the EU’s other member states will be able to work together to track the criminals cross-border and put them out of business.
