In March, a man was arrested in Spain on suspicion of acting as the head of a criminal network, targeting people with phishing attacks via Luxtrust.

The 34-year-old French national was extradited to Luxembourg authorities on Wednesday evening, and was brought before an investigating magistrate on Thursday. He is currently being held in custody in Ueschterhaff. A European arrest warrant had been issued prior to his capture in Spain.

The public prosecutor's office issued a reminder that no bank or service provider like Luxtrust would ask clients to give out confidential information or to validate operations.

In addition, these institutions do not visit customers' homes to collect bank cards or valuables, as was the case during many of these scams.
