Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams have stolen millions of dollars from businesses and individuals. The bulk of arrests took place in Nigeria, but also in the United States, Turkey, Ghana, France, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) calculated that BEC fraudsters have attempted to steal a staggering US $9 billion since September 2016. Organisations and individuals who have fallen victim to such scams are urged to complete a form on the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) website to help recover lost funds.”]
