South Koreans are back from Cambodia, but their troubles are just beginning. Sixty-four people arrived home recently, and most will likely face legal trouble. This comes after a South Korean student was killed in Cambodia in a case tied to job scams.
The group was met by police at the airport. Some wore masks and caps, and their hands were cuffed, though covered with cloth. This is part of a bigger problem. Over 1, 000 South Koreans are stuck in scam operations in Cambodia, according to officials.
South Korea has taken action. They issued a strict travel warning for parts of Cambodia and sent a team to help those trapped in scam compounds. The president even ordered the removal of illegal job ads to stop more people from falling into these traps.
Cambodia and South Korea are working together. Cambodian authorities agreed to send arrested South Koreans back to face justice in their home country. Officials are also focusing on uncovering the bigger picture of these scams, which often involve phone scams.
These scams are a global issue. The United Nations says scam centers in Southeast Asia make billions each year. They target people worldwide through phone and online tricks. This is a serious problem that needs attention.
