Exclusive-Scammers’ abandoned Cambodia compound exposes brutality and banality of fraud

Among the documents were profiles of a 73-year-old Japanese retiree, complete with his phone number and bank account balance, and an American woman who disclosed that she was a victim of domestic abuse. Nearby were scripts to commit love scams and impersonate police, as well as a room set up to resemble a Vietnamese bank office. Police raids and military air strikes have forced criminal gangs to flee scores of scam compounds in Cambodia in recent weeks. The visit to the site, known as Royal Hill, was facilitated by the Thai military, which bombed it during a brief border conflict in December and has since occupied the surrounding area. Reuters is the first news organization to authenticate some of the papers, which document the sophisticated manner in which the scams are carried out.🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
