Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

So 98% then? There are 1,200,000,000 Han Chinese in the PRC.

Your number might by low on the 39 million though. What is considered "overseas Chinese" doesn't always mesh with the actual ethnic Chinese population around the world. For example there are almost 10 million in Thailand alone, but you might not know it since they speak Thai, take on Thai names, and are at high levels of Thai business and government.

Anyway phising, vishing, and fraud seems to be some of the most common VoIP scams. It's not all casinos. Plenty of legal casinos around.

Two interesting posts about this news on CEO's Facebook page:

There are cases like this in the news every couple of weeks. Has anyone ever seen a follow up story about what happens to them? "Fined" and released to carry on or prosecuted/deported? If a few were deported as examples to face the Chinese authorities there could be a huge reduction in these scams.

The Chinese govt sent a plane over to SHV 3-4 years ago to deport a couple of hundred scammers. Within 48 hours all the remaining Chinese in SHV mysteriously vanished.










I heard from my travel agent friend that the same group of people that being deported asked her to do long-term visa after one year. So basically even if they being send back to China,it's not going to be difficult to get out of jail.
I think the really boss never being caught,and most of those who being caught are victims of another scam-being screwed up by job agents, low educated and without certain skill to make a good living, of course they fell for $1000/ month salary in Cambodia.

chinese courts proceedings are not open to public unless they wants to, to make a lesson out of it, like high profile graft cases, most of these criminals are blacklisted for life even after their jail sentence, it would be difficult for them to even apply for schools for their kids, let alone travel overseas again

yeah so when they are gone from kow, they wont be coming back anytime soon, unless extremely determined and well connected, which i doubt so if they are only low level voip scaming foot soldiers

In China there are 46[1] criminal offences that are eligible for the death penalty. Many of these offences are non-violent and economic criminal offences.[2][3] The following is a list of them. As of June, 2016, sixty-eight different crimes — more than half non-violent offenses such as tax evasion and drug smuggling — are punishable by death in China.[2

My wife tells me I'm treated differently because I'm a Laowai but I get away with all kinds of shit in China. I never had any problems getting weed or hash in China. Also the way Chinese people argue with police in the PRC - they'd get cracked in the head if they acted that hostile toward police in America.

I think China gets a bad rap sometimes. I find the Chinese to be the most chill and humane of all the NE Asians. The PRC itself is a strange mix of an oppressive but at the same time very permissive government.

All in all, I prefer living in China to living in the States but that probably has to do with the relatively high salary and low cost of living.

i think what u witness was a local who acted rough with local police, as in same village, these ppl hv mentality of "i hv lived in this village all my life, i know all the ppl here, so dont mess with me" these attitudes u can find anywhere, thailand, vietnam, kow etc

but when big city cops who dont give a flying rat ass who u are, then they be treated like a mouse

Cambodian Immigration Chief says the Chinese scammers are nothing to worry about.
24 April 2018
- Cambodian police have arrested 119 Chinese suspected of extorting money from people in China via a telecommunications scam, police in Phnom Penh say.
The arrests at two locations in Cambodia's capital on Sunday are the latest in an ongoing battle Cambodia has waged with China's help against criminal call centres.

Last month police arrested 100 Chinese at a seven-storey condominium in the capital.

Uk Haiseila, chief of the Immigration Investigation Bureau, said the raids followed a request for help from Chinese police and an investigation that lasted several months.

Chinese scammers often enter Cambodia on tourist visas, according to immigration police.

Despite the frequent arrests of Chinese and Taiwanese suspected scammers, Heisela said he believed Cambodia was able to keep a lid on the scams.
"We could control this. It is not very serious", he said.
