Consecutive detection of fraud groups overseas
In recent years, there have been many cases where fraud groups make calls from overseas that are difficult to investigate.
In March, a group calling a fraudulent phone call to Japan in a luxury home in Pattaya, Central Thailand, was caught by local authorities and nearly 20 members were arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department.
In September, a group of repeated frauds based in Jilin Province, China was caught by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Last month, 36 Japanese groups, allegedly making fraudulent calls to Japan in the Philippines' capital city, were detained by local immigration authorities.
