The US Treasury Department says Americans have lost more than US$16.6bil (RM70.11bil) to an online scam industry largely based in South-East Asia that targets victims around the world.
Scam centres rely on forced labor, and they proliferated during the pandemic. By some estimates they take in at least US$64bil (RM270.33bil) a year.
