AFP reports that a number of complexes in remote online scam businesses have grown rapidly along Myanmar's borders. The criminal business targets citizens outside Myanmar with the mode of love relations and financial fraud.

Myanmar's border was loose in terms of security after a civil war triggered by a coup in 2021 erupted in the country.

Actions against online scam activity in Myanmar began in February 2025, when around 7,000 workers were repatriated from the country, and Thailand imposed cross-border internet blockades.

The Myanmar military announced this week that it had raided KK Park, one of Myanmar's famous scam online businesses and confiscated 30 Starlink satellite internet terminals.

According to the AFP investigation, this number is only a small part of the amount used at the location.

On the one hand, the investigation said construction related to the installation of Starlink devices continued and moved quickly in Myanmar.
