China Executes Four More Accused Myanmar Scam Centre Leaders
Channel News Asia ^ | 02 Feb 2026

China has executed four leading members of Myanmar-based scam syndicates, a Chinese court said on Monday (Feb 2), the second such announcement in less than a week as Beijing ramps up a crackdown on cross-border telecom fraud.

Fraud compounds where scammers lure internet users into fake romantic relationships and cryptocurrency investments have flourished across Southeast Asia, including in Cambodia and the lawless borderlands of Myanmar.

Initially, largely targeting Chinese speakers, the criminal groups behind the compounds have expanded operations into multiple languages to steal billions of dollars from victims around the world.

Interesting!! I was up to over 30 of those by last year and they all suddenly stopped in the last six months! (Now, if only India would start killing their scammers!)

It won’t happen. They would have to not only execute the scammers directly but the police and politicians. The cancer is everywhere.

Whew! My arms were getting tired holding up this sign outside the airport baggage area! (Two months is a l-o-n-g time!)

And it doesn’t hurt the ‘victim’.

The US should try it.

And then they send a bill to the family for the bullet. At least that's what I've heard. Can this be true?

Make it hurt. Hands, feet and head on spikes.

China got something partly right.

This was in the bad ol days of Mao Tse Tung. The CCP has loosened up since then. There is no post-execution “bullet fee” any more.

Instead of “Coinbase” calls now I get “American Express” calls but the volume is still the same. I get about 100X scam calls for every real call. Telecom providers should understand that the way their product has been made virtually worthless for legit use is lethal for them in the long run if they don’t find a way to block these. When you get 100 voicemails with the same exact message for example, the provider should be able to just delete those and prevent any more from being logged.

The appropriate punishment for all scammers, Ponzi artists, any any white collar criminal stealing more than $5K.

Every single day for months now, I receive the same voicemail message about a loan offer I never applied for. Various phone numbers (obviously spoofed) with subtle differences in the message. The calls usually go right to my voicemail, I read the transcription, and dutifully mark it as spam… but nothing happens. Similar spamming on text messages, marking as spam does nothing. I’m on the ‘do not call list’ which seems to do nothing also. It’s annoying. Very annoying.

I was in the previously telecom industry and while not an engineer understand much about how these calls can be generated. What I don’t understand is why large mobile network operators are not doing a better job at stopping it. It would seem a competitive advantage and differentiator to win and keep customers.

Ponzi artists, eh?

I can find you 535 of them, all gathered together in two "chambers".
