"From multilevel marketing scams to credit card fraud on an industrial scale, the increasing volume and sophistication of cybercrime attacks is of serious concern," said Valdecy Urquiza, Interpol's secretary general.
As part of Interpol's operation, authorities in Cameroon also arrested a group suspected of trafficking people from seven countries; the victims were forced by this group to run a multilevel marketing scam.
Many people who work in online scam operations are trafficking victims, according to a U.N. report. Earlier this month, Interpol officials discovered several other cases in Africa involving trafficking victims suffering 'physical and psychological abuse' who were forced to work in pyramid schemes.
