**Executive summary:** OTP Agency was a fraud-for-hire service (launched November 2019) that automated calls to trick targets into revealing SMS one-time passcodes used for account logins; three UK operators pleaded guilty after investigators linked the service to roughly 12,500 targeted victims over 18 months, the site briefly tried to relaunch before arrests, and several similar OTP-interception services remain active.
