Another call-center fraud center was discovered in Tirana , as part of operations against computer crime.
The police, with the help of the show Piranja, have located and raided an environment in the Bërzhita area , where citizens, mainly foreigners, were being defrauded.
During the search of premises owned or managed by Franc Korteshi , evidence was found suggesting the exercise of illegal activity in the form of a call center .
Call centers are moving from Tirana's towers to suburban villas in the capital.
In the village of Bërzhitë, where a resort surrounded by greenery has been set up, a fraudulent call center has been set up, with around 150 employees.
In reality, after an inside tip, we had been keeping an eye on him for more than a month, documenting his entries and exits, and the work that was done every day, with the sole purpose of defrauding foreign citizens with fictitious online investments.
And the camouflage of this activity was dental tourism in Albania.

This villa was divided into 15 office spaces , in which about 100 people operated, including operators and financial consultants.
During the search of this premises, the police seized several computer units and mobile phones, which will undergo specialized examinations to reveal their role and use in this suspected fraud scheme.
Investigators have also uncovered how the subject attempted to evade checks.
According to documents obtained by VoxNews , the facility was registered as a business in the field of medical tourism, which is suspected of being used as a cover for illegal activity.

Disguising as a legitimate business
The company registers as a dental tourism, call-center service, or online marketing and obtains formal licenses that look regular on paper.
Employees are trained in sales and call clients outside Albania ( Italy, UK, Germany and the USA ) where they present themselves as "financial advisors" and use psychological scripts to convince clients to invest.
Clients are asked to open accounts on unknown platforms and deposit money ranging from 100 euros, 100 thousand or even more, depending on the person's budget.
When the client wants to withdraw money, they are asked for additional fees, another deposit, or their account is closed and the money "disappears".
We recall that this was the second attack in a few days in Tirana. Not long ago, during an operation in the capital, 3 call centers were attacked.
The action led to the arrest of 7 people and others being sought.
Specifically, 7 people with the measure ' prison arrest ', 2 with ' compulsory appearance ' and ' detention abroad ', as well as 5 others arrested in flagrante delicto.
The 2-year investigation began in Austria , where the main fraud activity was carried out, and the operation was carried out jointly with SPAK and the State Police.
According to investigations, this activity has caused the victims losses that allegedly exceed 50 million euros .
