Port Phillip Crime Investigation Unit detectives have arrested a man after allegedly stealing more than $800,000 from victims via online scams across Victoria. It's alleged the victims visited fake websites purporting to be legitimate financial institutions offering investment opportunities between June and September 2022. After leaving their details on the websites, victims were contacted by a person purporting to be from the financial institution. Victims signed up to investments including term deposits and treasury bonds and were told to forward the funds to an Australian bank account where the money was removed.
