🔥 JUST IN: Dutch Police Use Decoy “Grandpa” to Catch Scammers
Dutch police baited phishing scammers using a fake pensioner’s details. A scam call came in, and the courier who showed up to collect the money was arrested.
But an Amsterdam court acquitted him — the decoy knew from the first call the story was scripted, meaning he was never actually deceived. Under Dutch law, no deception means no completed fraud, and prosecutors had only charged completed fraud, not attempt.
