Incident 12911 Report
South Korean Fraud Ring Allegedly Used Deepfake Identities to Traffic Victims into Cambodia Scam Operations

2024-08-01

Authorities in Vietnam arrested three South Korean men alleged to have used purported deepfake identities in a cross-border romance scam scheme. Victims were reportedly deceived into travel and coerced into moving to Cambodia, where they reportedly were forced into performing scam operations after their passports were taken. The network allegedly obtained about USD $1 million in 2024 before the suspects fled Cambodia and were arrested in Da Nang on October 28, 2025.
