After the COVID-19 pandemic, fraud crimes have surged, especially the "Cambodia Chaos" incident, which has attracted police attention. The police have been raising awareness at the airport, warning the public about overseas work scams. According to statistics from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, since the level three alert of the pandemic began in 2021, fraud cases have continued to soar. Scammers have been using online platforms to defraud the public, leading to total fraud losses reaching over 100 billion NT dollars for the year. The police have implemented an anti-fraud dashboard, showing about 600 cases of fraud each day and an average financial loss of 400 million NT dollars. The number of cases has declined earlier this year, indicating the effectiveness of prevention efforts.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, fraud crimes have significantly increased, leading to the "Cambodia Chaos." The police have set up signs at the airport to remind the public of overseas work scams. Domestic fraud cases continue to rise every year. According to investigations by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the COVID-19 pandemic has become a critical turning point. Since the implementation of a Level 3 alert in 2021, fraud cases have started to surge dramatically, with the Cambodia Chaos, which treats people as "pigs" for human trafficking, reaching its peak.

Due to the significant gap between statistical data and actual victims, the National Police Agency reformed the criminal case recording system last September. On the "Fraud Dashboard" webpage, the number of fraud cases and financial losses is publicly reported every day, allowing the public to realize that thousands of billions of dollars fall into the hands of fraud groups each year.

Analysis indicates that during the COVID-19 pandemic, people's time at home increased, and their reliance on the internet intensified, leading to more frequent online transactions. As a result, fraud groups have actively exploited online shopping platforms, social media, dating apps, and text messages to carry out their scams. In addition, the pandemic caused massive unemployment, and many people hope to earn income through online investments, coupled with the rise of virtual currencies, resulting in rampant fake investment scams.

Fraud groups take advantage of young people's urgent need for work due to unemployment, enticing them to go overseas for scam jobs, and even selling them off, leading to the Cambodia Chaos. Besides continuous public education, the police have established slogans at the airport to encourage vigilance among the public and are doing their utmost to rescue victims, leaving them overwhelmed.

To help the public understand the real threat of fraud to their property and to raise awareness about prevention, the National Police Agency launched the Fraud Dashboard last September, showing statistics that indicate about 600 fraud cases occur daily nationwide, with an average daily loss of about 400 million NT dollars. If calculated based on this average, the total financial loss from fraud for the entire year will exceed thousands of billions. In January and February this year, the number of fraud cases has dropped to around 400 daily, with the average daily financial loss reduced to 260 million NT dollars.
