In Cambodia, authorities have confirmed that 80 South Korean nationals are missing after they disappeared from a scam centre in Sihanoukville. The centre, known for running tourist‑scam operations, shut down abruptly, leaving many workers without any contact.

The South Korean embassy in Phnom Penh is working closely with Cambodian police to locate the missing. Embassy officials urge families to report any information to the embassy and share details about any relatives who may have worked at the centre. The police have opened an investigation at the former site and have reached out to hundreds of South Korean citizens who were previously employed there.

Missing person reports list a mix of men and women ranging from their early twenties to mid‑fifties. The group’s sudden disappearance has sparked concerns about the safety of overseas workers and tourists in Cambodia. It also highlights the growing problem of illegal scam operations that target foreign travelers.

The Cambodian government has pledged full cooperation and is coordinating with the South Korean authorities. They claim that no evidence points to foul play, but they remain cautious as they seek any clues that might help rescue the missing.

This incident has drawn international attention to the risks that foreign workers face in the Southeast Asian country and has prompted discussions about stronger protections for overseas employees. The case also comes at a time when Cambodia is tightening its crackdown on tourism‑scam schemes, after a wave of scandals involving fake travel agencies and illicit activities.

If you or someone you know is a South Korean traveling or working in Cambodia, the embassy says it can provide emergency assistance and further updates as the investigation continues.
