Chinese & Philippines Police Arrest 417 Phone Scammers In The Philippines – Shipping 36 Back To China
Part of a Phone Scam Shut Down Campaign that Arrested more than 31,000 criminals
The Chinese Public Security Ministry escorted of 36 suspects who committed cross-border telecommunication network fraud from the Philippines to China, 417 suspects of telecommunication network fraud arrested by the Chinese police and the Philippine police through police law enforcement cooperation have been handed over to our side, including 7 online fugitives.
This is another important achievement achieved by the working group of the Ministry of Public Security in the Philippines to carry out police law enforcement cooperation and crack down on cross-border phone fraud.
In response to the grim situation of phone fraud in the Philippines, in March this year, the Ministry of Public Security organized and deployed public security organs in many places across the country to strengthen clue searching, pay close attention to key cases, and research and judgment found a number of dens entrenched in the Philippines to carry out cross-border phone fraud crimes.
Immediately, the Ministry of Public Security sent personnel to lead the people’s police of public security organs in Jiangsu, Guangxi and other places to form a working group to carry out police law enforcement cooperation in the Philippines. With the strong support and coordination of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, the working group actively cooperated with the Philippine police to carry out crackdown operations in the Clark Freeport Zone of Pampanga Province and Pasay City, Manila, and other places, and successively smashed a number of extraordinarily large phone fraud dens, arrested more than 31,000 criminal suspects involving many countries on the spot, and seized a large number of criminal tools such as mobile phones, computers, voice gateways, and scripts related to fraud. From June to July this year, the Philippine police handed over 6 Chinese suspects to the Jiangsu public security organs in four batches, and from September to October, they handed over 7 Chinese suspects to the Guangxi public security organs in two batches. At present, the case is under further investigation.
The relevant person in charge of the public security organ said that the public security organs will maintain a high-pressure and hard-hitting posture against cross-border phone fraud, continuously increase the intensity of work, strengthen international police law enforcement cooperation, resolutely curb the high incidence of phone fraud cases, and earnestly safeguard the property safety and legitimate rights and interests of the people.

Statement About Victim Blaming
Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and not to blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and help victims avoid scams in the future. At times, this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims; we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.
These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens, and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.
Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
