A major crackdown on scam networks across Asia has led to the arrest of over 1,800 people. Authorities from multiple countries, including South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore, collaborated to intercept fraudulent funds totaling $20 million. The operation targeted online shopping scams, telephone fraud, and investment schemes, freezing nearly 33,000 accounts in the process. Some victims were deceived using deepfake videos, while others were forced into scam operations under false pretenses. The effort highlights the growing global reach of organized cybercrime and the need for cross-border cooperation to combat it.
