BBC – Hundreds were rescued from a scam center in the Philippines, where they were forced to pose as single individuals seeking romantic relationships online. The raid freed 658 people, including Filipinos, Chinese, and other foreigners. The center, disguised as an online gambling firm, was part of a larger trend in Southeast Asia where victims are lured into criminal activities like love scams and crypto fraud. The operation was exposed by a Vietnamese escapee who revealed the extent of human trafficking and abuse at the facility.
