The Judiciary Police (PJ) and Macau concessionaires held an anti-fraud meeting aimed at preventing gaming workers from falling into the Southeast Asian job seeking scam.
The meeting was held on 18 August at the Judicial Police headquarters and was attended by representatives from the security departments, the table games departments and the casino marketing departments of the six concessionaires.
Recently, residents of neighboring regions and Macau have been lured into working in Southeast Asian countries and have been coerced into engaging in criminal telecom fraud activities. Some of the victims are former gaming industry employees.
Head of the Gaming-related and Economic Crimes Investigation Department, Sou Sio Keong, said, “overseas fraudsters are targeting people who have worked in the gaming industry, claiming to offer gaming-related jobs to lure them to work outside the country. The PJ urges gaming companies to remind their employees to be more vigilant.”
In order to enhance the vigilance of the gaming industry against various types of telecommunication network fraud, the PJ plans to add a “fraud prevention message” notification channel to its existing cooperation mechanism with the gaming industry, Their aim is to enhance the notification of police information so that police can disseminate the latest fraud prevention information to the gaming industry in a timely manner.
In response to the recent situation, the police have engaged in fraud prevention publicity work to remind the public to be more vigilant, especially targeting high-risk groups such as gaming industry practitioners and job seekers.
Earlier, the police pointed out that five Macao residents received job offers from fraudulent syndicates in Southeast Asia. One of the men already arrived in Southeast Asia but is now in a safe condition; two other women were appealed to by the police before boarding a plane and subsequently abandoned their journey to Southeast Asia.
