PHNOM PENH: Cambodia will deport on Friday (Oct 17) 59 South Koreans who worked in cyberscam schemes, police said, after Seoul sent a team to investigate the fate of dozens of its nationals.
South Korea banned its citizens on Wednesday from travelling to parts of Cambodia and sent officials to Phnom Penh to discuss cases of fake jobs and online scam centres that Seoul says have ensnared dozens of its nationals.
