Background

Site BM06 is an unnamed property south of Poipet city, located directly on the Thai border. The building has likely only been operational for a short time as Google Earth imagery shows it was still under construction as of March 2024.

In July 2025, it was raided as part of a nationwide crackdown on scam operations. Police arrested 28 Chinese nationals and found evidence of sophisticated law enforcement impersonation scams.

The scam operation located in the building may only have been recently set up, and we have found posts on Facebook property pages advertising the property for rent as recently as May 2025.
