  • The moment a suspect associated with a UK-founded website used to defraud victims on an "industrial scale" was arrested at an airport was caught on police bodycam footage.
    LabHost, a scammer site set up in 2021 by a criminal network, obtained 480,000 card numbers and 64,000 PINs globally.
    The site allowed users to set up phishing websites intended to trick victims into giving away personal information such as bank details, email addresses, and passwords.
    Authorities have arrested 37 suspects across the UK and globally, including at Manchester and Luton airports.

      The very fact they have NOT disclosed thier identity tells you EXACTLY what they are ?? Not of the UK .
      If they were ?? They would have their faces , names , home addresses ETC plastered all over the planet .. FACT .

      Sadly you lose, he's an English Student from Essex.
      That's what makes it sus to me, this happens daily all the time, but when it's an English lad, let's make an example of him...

      Try doing the same with the amount of fights and destruction caused by holiday makers in other cities.
      You will find the UK people at the top. So civilised aren't they? Surely they don't go abroad and act like the arrogant animals they really are? Ask any European for the answer 😂
