ChainCatcher news, according to Beijing Business Daily, the Ministry of Public Security announced at a press conference on January 10 that by the end of 2024, over 53,000 Chinese criminal suspects involved in telecom fraud from northern Myanmar have been arrested, successfully dismantling the 'Four Great Families' crime group in northern Myanmar.
The Ministry of Public Security pointed out that despite significant achievements in combating crime, the criminal situation remains severe. Fraud groups are continuously upgrading their criminal tools using new technologies such as blockchain, virtual currencies, and AI intelligence. These gangs are well-organized and engage in illegal activities such as app development, traffic promotion, and money laundering through cross-border collaboration.
Fraudsters customize scam scripts targeting different age groups, professions, and educational backgrounds, resulting in a wide range of victim groups. Although the telecom fraud parks near the Chinese border in northern Myanmar have been cleared, many fraud dens disguised as 'technology parks' and 'development zones' still exist abroad.
