Pakistan, April 21 -- The United Nations is sounding the alarm over a billion-dollar cyberscam industry expanding globally. Originally, these criminal networks emerged in Southeast Asia and have now reached South America and Africa. Despite intensified crackdowns in Southeast Asia, these syndicates continue to grow and adapt, effectively evading authorities.

UNODC highlights the urgent need for countries to unite and disrupt these gangs' financial operations.
