''Federal police say they believe the two used technology to hide their phone numbers, deceiving people into thinking they were speaking with their bank, a government employee or police staff.

Cybercrime investigators raided the suspects’ residence, seizing a “trove” of items including “electronic devices,” police said in a press release. The RCMP says they are aware of 570 victims of the phone scams and hope more will come forward now.''

''Mansouri and Alouah are believed by police to be among the world’s most active subscribers on a website called “iSpoof.cc,” which allowed criminals to impersonate corporations by displaying a fake caller ID.''
