Authorities have made significant strides in combating cyber fraud and human trafficking in India and the Philippines. In a recent operation, police apprehended two suspects, including a Chinese national, linked to a call center syndicate involved in extensive online fraud. The operation led to the confiscation of 100 SimBoxes, mobile phones, and over 20,000 registered SIM cards. Concurrently, the National Investigation Agency in India charged five individuals in connection with a cyber fraud and human trafficking racket that involved a consultancy firm in Delhi operating through fake call centers based in Laos. In another case, police in Agra arrested four individuals, including a top engineering student, for a digital arrest scam that defrauded victims of ₹2.73 crore by falsely implicating them in money laundering and drug cases. Furthermore, a Chinese man, believed to be a major operator of scam farms in the Philippines, was arrested by Manila authorities. These incidents highlight the ongoing battle against sophisticated online scams and the international implications of such criminal activities.
