A Chinese scam syndicate believed to have operated in Cambodia for nine months has turned up at an abandoned resort in Malaysia, running a 24-hour call center powered by generators and 11 Starlink satellite internet systems. Malaysian immigration authorities raided the remote property in Sungai Lembing earlier this week, arresting 98 people, including 88 Chinese nationals, one Cambodian woman and three Malaysians. Investigators seized 120 computers and 100 phones. The syndicate had reportedly been operating there for three months, paying RM30,000 a month in rent and using guards to monitor access to the property. According to immigration officials, passport records indicate the group had previously operated in Cambodia and spent time in Vietnam, moving between countries to avoid detection. Employment contracts recovered during the raid offered workers RM3,000 a month, with commissions for meeting targets and penalties for falling short. Authorities are now investigating whether some of those arrested were recruited through fraudulent job offers and forced to work at the compound.
