According to an overseas underground worker still stranded in the capital, extensive raids throughout September and October against illegal online gambling and telecom scams have rounded up dozens of Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Chinese nationals. The aggressive enforcement has forced several illicit teams to suspend operations and explore remote telework instead.
In a submission, the worker described operating rogue mobile base stations to blast phishing SMS messages. Over a year ago, two fellow townsmen running similar equipment were arrested in the Philippines and unexpectedly sentenced to life imprisonment under espionage-related charges. Despite spending over 10 million pesos through various intermediaries to secure their release, both remain detained in the Bicutan facility.
Historically, the financial return kept such teams operating despite severe legal risks. Daily revenues once exceeded 2,000 USDT per person two to three years ago, and even in recent months, daily earnings remained close to a thousand dollars. Yet with local law enforcement relentlessly sweeping foreign criminal rings, the mounting likelihood of apprehension has finally outweighed the payoff.
With crackdowns showing no signs of slowing down, walking away and keeping a low profile has become the only practical option left for those still on the ground.
