Six Arrested For Taking Student To Cambodia To Work In Phone Scam
In June last year, suspects allegedly deceived a then-21-year-old male student by promising him a monthly salary of more than 1.5 million yen. The following month, they brought him to a location in Cambodia believed to be a base for a phone fraud group.
According to police, the man realized upon arrival that his job involved making fraudulent phone calls targeting victims in Japan. About a month later, he managed to return home alone by claiming that a family member had died. Upon his return, police took him into protective custody.
Investigators believe that six suspects were responsible for recruiting “callers” and providing training at the Cambodian location. Authorities are currently examining possible links to a foreign criminal organization believed to be behind the operation.
