30,000 Bank Accounts, SIM Cards Blacklisted

Law Enforcement Forces (LEF) said it has blocked 30,000 bank accounts and SIM cards suspected of fraud and illegal activities.
"Bank accounts and SIM cards are instruments used by [suspected] criminals for phone scams.  We have created a database in collaboration with the judiciary, the Central Bank of Iran and ICT Ministry containing criminal records. This has resulted in a 57% drop in phone scams in the past few years," said Colonel Mohammad Reza Akbari, head of the Office for Combating Fraud and Forgery of the LEF Criminal Investigation Department.
In another update, head of Iran's Cyber Police (FATA), said online fraud accounted for 30% of total cybercrime in the last calendar year that ended in March.
