Nearly 400 from China and Taiwan arrested
18 August 2017
Cambodian authorities have arrested nearly 400 Chinese and Taiwanese nationals this month on suspicion of operating a telecoms scam to defraud victims in China, police said yesterday.

The move is part of a regional crackdown as China battles telephone and internet scams that have cost billions of dollars in losses, with fraudsters posing as government officials to target everyone from the elderly to businessmen with legal woes.

Police said 225 Chinese nationals, 25 of them women, were arrested in Phnom Penh on Wednesday. Immigration authorities said another 151 Chinese and three Taiwanese had been arrested on August 2 in the provinces of Siem Reap and Banteay Meanchey.

In recent years, Cambodia has deported to China more than 600 Chinese and Taiwanese arrested on suspicion of telecoms scams. In July, Cambodia deported 105 Chinese and Taiwanese suspects to China.
Last month, Indonesia detained more than 150 Chinese nationals accused of a scam that pulled in an estimated $450 million, by tricking victims into paying to make legal cases go away...
