Lately, I’ve been receiving 10 to 15 calls a day compared to the 3 to 4 I used to get, from completely unknown numbers, and from young ladies on WhatsApp asking me to update my resume or to add them to my contacts, um, something fishy is going on... read a bit here what Il Manifesto writes today: "Thailand, darkness falls on Scam City."
Report on Thailand's crackdown on Scam City along the Burmese border, a system of cybercrime and modern slavery based on deception, where even the "scammers" are victims. At some point, China, the first victim of the Scam Centers, said enough is enough. They forced the Burmese to free the "scammers" and compelled Thailand to cut off the electricity.
Thailandia, cala il buio sulle Scam City | il manifesto

a small excerpt:
...]At the beginning of March, the ministry responsible for Thai digital services announced that losses from phone scams have halved, from about 100 million baht a day (around 2.7 million euros) to less than half since Bangkok halted supplies beyond the Moei River.

According to The Economist, cyber scams in the United States could yield an average of 50 billion dollars a year. However, according to Interpol, criminal organizations in Southeast Asia have expanded to form a global network with a staggering turnover estimated at around 3 trillion dollars a year. Money that, once laundered through a cycle of "Russian dolls," even reaches Europe to be invested in clean activities.

and nothing...
