Asia's Tinder Swindlers: Exposing Love Scam Rings In Cambodia | Talking Point | Full Episode

  • In 2021, Singaporeans lost over 10 million to “pig-butchering scams”, an emerging hybrid of romance and investment scams. Victims are groomed for weeks to months before losing their fortune in bogus investment schemes or illegal gambling sites.
    Women make up more than 60% of the victims. As the scams become more sophisticated, so too are the targets, who are younger, and more educated.
    In this Special episode of Talking Point, Diana Ser enters the world of fake romance. Why do women keep falling for it? Her investigation leads her to Cambodia, where she uncovers the shocking truth behind some of the men scamming women across the globe.
    Editor’s Note: Since the release of this programme, the Deputy Governor of Sihanoukville has written to Talking Point to say that all cases of frauds and scams reported by victims are thoroughly investigated by police with full confidentiality. The Governor also says police are unable to take action if such crimes are unreported or are lacking in evidence.

    One important aspect you missed to cover is that most victims initially find the proposal suspicious but they would start out with a small amount of money to test the platform. Next, they see their money grow and the scammer would let them withdraw the profits a few times to gain their trust and drive their ego. Then one day, the scammer will tell them that the trend is very good now and ask them to invest much larger amounts of money but only that time, they won't be able to withdraw and both the scammer and the platform will disappear.

      Wow. I remember feeling super suspicious myself and slightly (ever so slightly) considered doing a very small investment to test the platform. But then I decided that I didn’t want to mix business and pleasure. But had I not had that thought, I could have also fallen into the trap. Scary when I think about it.

    Thank you CNA for making this brave reporting. Love scammers are flourishing since several years, and they are becoming more & more sophisticated and organised. That means anyone of us can be scammed any day and any way. I know of people who were scammed and were too embarrassed to share with their families and friends. One of them has her family broken up. Let's not shame the scammed victims, they are not "stupid". The scammers are just too sophisticated & organised in their syndicates. Let's be empathetic towards the scammed victims. Again, thank you CNA for daring to make this report. My hat off for you!

    One thing for women to keep in mind when a seemingly-perfect Tinder "match" becomes interested in them: what do you have that they would look at you? And why would these "successful" men be on Tinder where eligible women would practically be throwing themselves at them?
    This is not to insult anyone. Rather, a relationship needs both parties to pull their weight. A rich, charming and successful man would fall for a downtrodden and lonely woman only in fairy tales. If more women would be honest with themselves, the number of victims would drop significantly.

      Yes, because they are vulnerable. It's a shock to the body and mind when someone goes through divorce. They'll often feel like a failure, deceased self esteem, crave for some type of real connection and attention from others. Scammers can go to hell tbh.

    This sort of crime is a staple in Nigeria and has a lot of Nigerians perpetrating or scamming people home and abroad. It has reached pandemic levels and thankfully is being addressed both by the legislative through the passing of bills to effectively deal and direct the judiciary in their duties and also by ant-graft agencies through investigations who track down and trace the laundered proceeds of these crimes. It is sad that a person's honest feelings and emotions are used to hurt them in such a manner when they sincerely are vulnerable and human. There's no excuse for such manipulative behaviour.

    I was talking to this guy that I matched on Hinge. Because I almost got scammed by something like this a couple weeks ago, I got more cautious. I read through this guy profile and knew right away he is a scammer. I decided to match with him and play along. After about an hour texting, he thought I am his fellow scammer. He told me to stop pretending and asked me how much I made this month. Needless to say, I reported him on Hinge and his profile was removed. Funny thing is I got likes from 4 Asian men that day and they were all scammers. Such despicable people!

The impact is not only on the victims but also includes human trafficking from Indonesia, where people are taken to that country and forced to work. When asked why it has to be in those country, the answer is because gambling is legal there, so it doesn't violate any laws... truly a disgusting fact.
