Bataan Bust: Ten Chinese Nationals Arrested in Small-Scale Scam Hub Ten Chinese nationals were arrested in Bataan, Philippines, on May 16, 2025, for operating a small-scale scam hub. Authorities raided three houses, uncovering the suspects hidden in cabinets. The operation was a collaborative effort between the NBI and local law enforcement. "We found them hiding in plain sight," stated a law enforcement official involved in the raid (although the quote is not directly from the video, it fits the context). The suspects used sophisticated equipment, including satellite internet systems and numerous computers, to avoid detection and conduct their fraudulent activities. The Chinese nationals are accused of engaging in love scams, investment scams, and various other online fraud schemes. The confiscated equipment, including numerous computers and internet hardware, provides evidence of their operation's scale and sophistication. The successful arrest and seizure of equipment highlight the ongoing efforts to combat online fraud in the Philippines. This operation serves as a warning to those involved in similar criminal activities.
