Cambodia Scam Compound Disrupted In September 2025
The suspected criminal group allegedly operated from a scam compound in Phnom Penh.
The premises were disrupted during a joint enforcement operation involving the SPF and Cambodian National Police on 9 September 2025.
Investigations into the group subsequently led to the identification of additional suspects believed to have participated in its operations.
The suspected syndicate allegedly targeted victims in Singapore through government official impersonation scams, in which scammers pretend to represent government agencies or officials to deceive victims into handing over money.
The authorities have continued coordinating with international partners to track down individuals believed to be involved.
Latest Arrest Following Deportation From Vietnam
One of the latest developments involved 27-year-old Singaporean Lam Yong Yan, who was deported from Vietnam and arrested by CID officers upon arriving in Singapore on 6 November 2026.
He was previously detained by Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security for immigration offences on 19 November 2025.
Lam is expected to be charged in court on 7 November 2026 for allegedly facilitating the commission of a serious offence in furtherance of the illegal purpose of a locally linked organised criminal group.
If convicted, he faces up to five years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to S$100,000, or both.
