Scam Compounds: Are You Aware Enough? | GASA Southeast Asia Chapter Meet-up – 2025-08-29

Date of Event: 29 August 2025 Event: GASA Southeast Asia Chapter Meet-up

The first webinar of GASA Southeast Asia’s monthly series focused on scam compounds — a fast-spreading global crisis at the intersection of human trafficking, forced cybercrime labour, and organized fraud.

Hosted by Chapter Advisor Rajesh Sandhu, the session shed light on how scam compounds are built, how victims are coerced into scams, and how these operations fuel a transnational economy of fraud. Participants heard a first-hand account from a survivor, alongside deep investigative insights into criminal structures, financial flows, and the law enforcement challenges of tackling such cross-border crime.
