Scam Wave Hits Malaysia and Singapore

Original: 诈骗

A string of scam-related arrests and warnings is drawing attention in Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysian immigration authorities raided a resort converted into a scam call centre, arresting 98 people, while police detained 12 foreigners, including Chinese nationals, over online investment scams targeting Central Europeans. In Singapore, police report at least 13 'daigou' order scams since September, with Lalamove delivery riders losing S$2,000, and a surge in gift card scams targeting couriers.

Why now: A cluster of scam crackdowns and warnings in the region broke at the same time, prompting widespread coverage.
