Myanmar authorities keep hitting telecom scam operations in Shwe Kokko and KK Park near Myawady, tearing down sketchy buildings where online fraud gangs ran their schemes. The crackdown demolished five more structures in KK Park Section 3, bringing the total to 288 buildings flattened out of 635 illegal ones. Officials sealed another batch of properties in Shwe Kokko after finding 169 sketchy buildings there.
The raids netted nearly 2,000 undocumented foreigners and mountains of gear like thousands of computers, phones, satellite receivers, and routers. Authorities shipped out 411 people from various countries through the Thailand border, part of a larger operation that deported over 10,000 illegal entrants since late January.
The government framed this as a long-term mission to kill off scam operations completely, saying it'll keep working with neighboring countries to shut down these criminal setups for good.
