Police say an international fraud group based out of west suburban Naperville is out of business.

The Naperville Police Department arrested seven people from the state of Georgia.

They are believed to be part of a larger crime group that operates out of Eastern Europe.

Authorities reveal they posted fake ads on Craigslist to commit fraud.

Officials found more than 50 phony wire transfers along with dozens of fake IDs and passports.

All are charged with ID theft and forgery.
