About 2,000 South Koreans are estimated to have been ensnared in online scam operations in Cambodia.
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet agreed on Monday to form a joint task force to combat scams targeting South Koreans, in response to growing public concern over recent abductions and detentions of Lee’s compatriots in Cambodia.
The task force, which begins operations next month, will include South Korean police officers, according to presidential spokeswoman Kang Yu-jung.
