I seem to vaguely recall that this is not the first time that a Lexus with Arabs/Indians was driving around the country trying to do the same thing.....

Re: Arabs in Lexus Accused of Going Around Scamming Locals in Cambodia (UPDATE)
UPDATE:
Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: Three Pakistani nationals, two men and one woman, were detained on 3 November 2018 for staying and working in Cambodia illegally. Lieutenant Cheat Chetra, chief of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court Procedures and Procedures, said that the three had entered Cambodia with tourist visas on October 14, 2018. [The date doesn't make sense, because it's less than one month ago, but that's what it says.]
They have been sent to the Department of immigration who will presumably organize their deportation.

Immigration procedures are slightly different for Pakistani nationals who wish to visit Cambodia, and they are not eligible for a visa on arrival.
