A recent post circulating online claims that a fraud syndicate is actively operating between the 8th and 15th floors of the Dongcheng Hotel, located roughly 100 meters down from the Dolphin Hotel in Sihanoukville. According to the whistleblower, around 80 workers are stationed there running Ponzi schemes and romance-investment scams targeting mainland victims. The report also alleges that about one-third of the personnel do not have passports, while pointing fingers at the company head and several operational managers. These claims currently remain unilateral allegations by an internet user and have not been independently confirmed by authorities.
Amid continuous crackdowns on telecom fraud compounds across Cambodia, large-scale compounds face mounting pressure, prompting some operators to break into smaller groups and hide within isolated hotels or leased apartments. The detail regarding missing passports often indicates a familiar pattern where lower-level workers have their travel documents confiscated and their freedom of movement restricted. This leaves trapped individuals facing severe legal and safety hazards while complicating municipal enforcement.
Job seekers are urged to stay vigilant against overseas employment pitches promising high salaries without formal qualifications. Anyone misled into these operations or facing threats to personal safety should seek an opportunity to contact the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia or reach out to local police for help as soon as it is safe to do so.
