The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is intensifying its efforts against fraud networks involved in stealing money from consumer bank accounts and using “microtransactions” to conceal their activity. The DOJ has initiated two civil cases and multiple criminal cases as part of its crackdown on networks of fraudsters engaged in unauthorised charges to pilfer funds from consumers’ financial accounts.
