Cambodia has failed to dismantle much of its online scam industry despite a year-long crackdown that authorities said would eliminate it, according to an Amnesty International report that challenges official claims of success. The London-based rights group said it identified 86 scam compounds operating across Cambodia as of April, up from 53 a year earlier, and found evidence of state intervention at only 24 sites during the government’s campaign.

Despite a year-long government campaign, Cambodia has not effectively dismantled its online scam industry, according to a new report by Amnesty International. The human rights organization identified 86 scam compounds operating in the country as of April, an increase from 53 a year prior. Amnesty International's findings challenge official claims of success, noting that evidence of state intervention was found at only 24 of these sites during the crackdown. This suggests that the authorities' efforts have been largely ineffective in curbing the widespread operation of these fraudulent centers.
The persistence of scam centers despite official crackdowns highlights ongoing challenges in law enforcement and raises concerns about the safety and security of individuals targeted by these operations.
