Chinese criminal organizations have reportedly made over $1 billion by targeting Americans through scam text messages. These scams often impersonate legitimate companies and aim to deceive recipients into providing personal information or money. The scale and sophistication of these operations highlight the growing threat of cybercrime originating from China.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in India has shut down 390,000 fraudulent tech support call centers operating from the UK. These operations were involved in scamming individuals under the guise of providing technical assistance, leading to significant financial losses for victims. The CBI's actions are part of a broader effort to combat cybercrime and protect consumers from scams.
