Title Chinese scam suspects took over 11-story block in Cambodia Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Reuters Media type Radio Country/Territory Australia Date 19/08/17 Description Scammers choose countries where they think law enforcement is weak and governments are unlikely to see them as a priority, said Lennon Chang, a criminologist and expert in telecoms fraud at Monash University in Melbourne.
"We might be able to call them criminal nomads," he told Reuters, saying they moved every couple of weeks.
The fraudsters sometimes posed as officials and tricked people into disclosing bank account details, he said.
"The leaders are not easy to discover. All are young kids. Even if the crime syndicates are discovered and dissolved, the leaders will be able to start a new group in a short period of time."URL https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cambodia-china-taiwan-idUSKCN1AZ033 Persons Lennon Chang
