More than 230 suspected Chinese telecom fraudsters were repatriated to their homeland from Cambodia yesterday.

The suspects, 233 in total, were linked to more than 2,000 international telecom and internet fraud cases, reported Xinhua News Agency.

The cases affected more than 20 provincial regions in China and involved more than 63 million yuan (£7.1 million), the article said.

The repatriation has seen the largest number of telecom fraud suspects being sent back to China from a south-east Asian country in recent years.

It also heralded Beijing's year-long krackdown on telecom and internet fraud amid increasing international scams.

All of the 233 suspected landed in Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport at around 4pm in three charter aircraft provided by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

According to Xinhua, the suspects belonged to three fraud rings based in different Cambodian regions, including the capital Phnom Penh and the southern province of Takéo.

They were bust last month by the joint effort of the Chinese and Cambodian police.

It is said that the suspects had posed as officials from the Chinese police, courthouses and procuratorate authorities while making phone calls to their victims.

More than 700 telecom fraud suspects have been caught by Chinese police this year so far

They would first make threatening claims to the victims to scare them. For instance, they would pretend to be a policeman and claim that the victims had been suspected of money laundering or drug dealing.

They would then tell the victims that they could help safeguard their money before pressing them to transfer their savings from their bank accounts to an so-called 'secured account', which belonged to the gangs.

In a recent meeting in Beijing, the Chinese police authority announced that they would launch a year-long campaign from this month to December next year to curb the rising number of telecom and internet scams.

Such fraud is often conducted cross the border, with the victim in mainland China and the suspect - who is also Chinese - based in a nearby country.

Xinhua reported that the Chinese police had caught more than 700 suspected Chinese fraudsters this year during seven raids into south-east Asian countries, including the Laos, Indonesia and Cambodia.

The Chinese police have reportedly investigated more than 31,000 telecom and internet fraud cases this year so far.
