A recent investigation has revealed a widespread network of online scams operating from Southeast Asia, where tens of thousands of individuals are reportedly enslaved. These scams have been linked to significant financial losses, with one victim, Norbert, losing over 200,000 euros over a period of 18 months. The criminals employed tactics to build trust, initially returning some of the invested money to encourage further investment. The investigation highlights the grim reality of cyber-slavery, with many victims being forced into labor camps. Additionally, the French medical authority has raised alarms about a rise in illegal cosmetic procedures, including botox injections, which have led to severe health risks, including a cluster of botulism cases. This situation underscores the dangers associated with unregulated medical practices and online scams, prompting calls for increased vigilance and regulation.
