International Scam Gang, Nigerian, Pakistani, Cambodian, Arrested by Cyber-Cops
Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On February 02, 2019, the department of Anti-Cyber Crime sent seven suspects to Phnom Penh court for online scamming: 3 Nigerian men, 2 Pakistani men, and 2 Cambodian women.
The scam was an old and well-used one, whereby the suspects email a victim saying that they are an old rich sick person with no descendants, who wants to leave all their inheritance to some random person on the internet, and guess what, the victim is the lucky winner ! HOWEVER, there is paperwork involved, or bank transfer fees to be paid, so please send some money because this millionaire who wants to make you rich, doesn't have enough money to pay the fees for some reason.
Not surprisingly, human nature being what it is, this scam is still having some success. In this case, the victim reported the incident to police, and after a search for the suspects, police arrested them on January 30, 2019.
The Anti-Crime Technology Department has warned the Cambodian population to be cautious of different methods of online scamming, such as winning a prize, or a relative in a traffic accident, where the suspect asks people to send money to them.

We probably need to see the video first before you get a answer to that Q.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Probably because you have an imagination that's stuck somewhere in the early 80s. I know people in that unit and they are very smart and educated and also multilingual.

This scam still exist? About 20 years ago we got a letter in our physical mailbox, from Nigerians with almost the same content.
