In the past week, thousands of people — including victims of human traffickers — have left scam centers in Cambodia amid the authorities' fight against crime. This is reported by BBC.

Phnom Penh has begun a new round of restoring order in scam camps — large complexes where hundreds of people participate in fraudulent schemes, stealing billions of dollars from victims around the world.

According to experts, many end up in such places through deception, although some work there voluntarily.

On January 15, a businessman named Khuong Li was arrested in Cambodia on suspicion of illegal recruitment and exploitation of people, fraud, and money laundering. In March 2023, he was the subject of a BBC Eye investigation into fraudulent centers in Southeast Asia.

The program reported on a complex in the resort town of Sihanoukville owned by Li. People working there were lured into labor camps from other countries under false pretenses, forced to work at night, and engage in fraud.#Write2Earn $XRP $BNB $ETH
