The operation, which took three months of planning, saw the authorities simultaneously raid nine premises used as the scammers’ operating bases. Police also made a ‘bonus find’ during their raid, when they unexpectedly busted an online gambling syndicate operating out of the Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park. They were surprised to learn that it was an online gambling syndicate. The syndicate, which had been operating for about two years, had raked in RM300,000 a month from its activities. “This is the first time, we have come across an online gambling syndicate which fully operates through internet applications without having an operation base,” he said.
