Eight people who allegedly ran online scams to pilfer personal information from Internet users worldwide were arrested in Bulgaria last week.

Bulgarian law enforcement agents conducted raids in three cities and dismantled what is believed to be an international phishing operation, Microsoft said in a statement Friday. The Redmond, Wash., software giant helped investigate the alleged cybercrimes, which played off its MSN Web property, it said.

The phishing group allegedly crafted e-mails to make them appear as if they were sent by MSN customer service representatives and created dozens of fake Internet Web pages that mimicked the design, logo and trademark of official MSN pages, Microsoft said.
