ImageIn a massive operation, Philippine authorities raided a suspected online scam farm in Manila, arresting around 400 foreign nationals, mostly Chinese, who were allegedly involved in online scam operations targeting victims abroad ยน. The raid was conducted by the national immigration agency, which had been monitoring the company's activities for some time. The arrested individuals will be temporarily detained while awaiting deportation. This crackdown is part of a broader effort to tackle online scams and human trafficking in the Philippines, which has been a major concern in recent years. The country's president, Ferdinand Marcos, had announced a ban on Philippine online gaming operators, which were being used as a front for organized crime groups, by the end of 2024. It's great to see the authorities taking action against these scam operations, which can have devastating effects on people's lives.
