Several that I'm aware of in recent times - although they are cases
where people have lost money, not the initial spamming exercise. I
understand that new cases arise rather more frequently than you'd
expect, but for various good reasons the officers are publicity-shy.
NICS have a number of officers full time on the intelligence gathering,
and the Met handle the operational side.
