Scam hub in Cambodia found deserted, suspects believed to have fled to neighbouring countries
BANGKOK - South Korean media have uncovered a large scam operation centre in Cambodia that now lies deserted.
It is believed the operators fled to neighbouring countries — Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam — taking victims with them.
Cambodian police claim they could not catch the suspects in time, while experts urge swift action to rescue victims, warning that the “golden window” for intervention may last only this week.
A recent visit to the scam centre revealed an eerily deserted place.
Reporters described entering rooms filled with the lingering smell of cigarettes. Each small room contained two or three bunk beds, with clothes and towels scattered across dusty floors — clear signs that those who lived there had fled in haste.
The site, known as the Taizi compound in Takeo Province, around 40km south of Phnom Penh, had been managed by Prince Group — a company recently sanctioned by the United States and the United Kingdom for large-scale fraud and human trafficking.
Once known as “Yuanqu”, one of Cambodia’s largest scam hubs, the centre now stands empty.
The Taizi complex comprises 11 four-storey buildings, each containing around 120 rooms. Each room could accommodate four to six people.
