in Fraud & Scams, Security & Risk

On January 8, 2025, Philippine officials carried out a major operation in Manila, arresting around 400 foreign nationals suspected of being involved in online scams targeting people around the world.

The Bureau of Immigration shared that the raid uncovered individuals believed to be part of fraudulent online activities, with many of those arrested being Chinese nationals. They are currently in custody and awaiting deportation.

This action reflects rising global concerns about the increase of scam operations in Asia. A report from the United States Institute of Peace in May 2024 revealed that online scammers have tricked millions of people worldwide, resulting in an estimated $64 billion in yearly profits. The report also pointed out that many workers in these scams are victims of human trafficking, forced to promote fake cryptocurrency investments and other scams under threats of violence.

The scam industry is estimated to employ around 500,000 people, including about 15,000 in the Philippines. Many are recruited through social media with false promises, only to find themselves trapped in forced labor in these operations.

In response to these issues, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced a ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) in July 2024, citing their exploitation by organized crime groups for human trafficking, money laundering, online fraud, kidnappings, and even murder.

This recent enforcement action shows the Philippine government’s determination to fight online fraud and related crimes in the country.
