TOPIC: BATTLE AGAINST ONLINE-FRAUD AND SCAMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ASIA

A recent UN report estimates that hundreds of thousands of people from around the world have been trafficked
to Southeast Asia to run online scams. Individuals have been forced into working these scams. Most victims
are men from Asia, but some come from further afield, such as Africa and Latin America. Criminal gangs,
traditionally preying on less-educated individuals desperate for quick earnings, now target victims with
professional jobs, including those with graduate or post-graduate degrees. These on-line scams, fraud,
cyberbullying and sexual crimes generate billions of US dollars in revenue. Existing regulations in Southeast
Asian countries often fall short of international standards as authorities face challenges due to weak
governance and jurisdiction issues.
