The Dutch police's Game Over?! campaign has successfully identified 74 of its 100 most wanted scammers. Launched in March 2026, the campaign involved displaying blurred images of the suspects on billboards and social media, with a two-week ultimatum for self-surrender. After the deadline, the police unblurred the images, leading to 34 individuals turning themselves in and 40 more being identified through public tips. The campaign received over 500 tips and garnered significant public attention, with more than two million website views and nearly 90 million social media impressions. The identified suspects range in age from 14 to 42, with an average age of 22. The police aim to prosecute these individuals for various fraud-related offenses.
