More than 40 people from Malaysia have been rescued by police in Peru after they fell victim to a human trafficking syndicate operating a telecommunication fraud.
The Malaysians were forced to participate in the so-called “Macau scam”, making calls to companies in Malaysia and Taiwan to demand money while posing as banks, police or justice officials.
Malaysia’s foreign ministry said Peruvian police found the 43 Malaysians after raiding a house in La Molina in the capital Lima on 7 October. It said representatives from its embassy had visited them and found them in good health.
Six Taiwanese and two Peruvians were arrested.
