About 25% of BEC groups now work in the U.S., especially in California, Georgia, Florida, Texas and New York. About half the world’s BEC criminal gangs operate from Nigeria, a study by security firm Agari says. Money mules usually receive and launder the proceeds of the scams, the Agari report says. Since May 2019, Agari has identified 2,900 mule accounts in 39 countries. Through these accounts, scammers have siphoned $64 million in stolen funds from BEC victims.”]
