Keyword: "online scammers"

Thailand's Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry has introduced a draft bill aimed at better protecting people from online scammers.

With the help of technology, scammers tricked Vietnamese out of an average 391.8 trillion VND (16.23 billion USD), or 3.6% of the nation’s GDP in 2023, according to the report “The State of Scams in Vietnam” by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA).

Philippine authorities announced on September 30 that police have rescued 29 Myanmar and Chinese nationals who were allegedly trafficked and forced to work as "online scammers" for a gaming company in the capital Manila.
