Gambling syndicates based in South Asia are now targeting diaspora communities living in the Middle East Europe and North America. Using WhatsApp and Telegram, they offer “VIP investment groups” that lead to illegal betting platforms.
Victims are often Bangladeshi or Indian expatriates looking for extra income. The scams promise daily returns and show fake dashboards to appear profitable. Some users even recruit family and friends, unknowingly spreading the fraud.
Authorities in the UAE and UK have issued warnings and are coordinating with Bangladeshi agencies to track the origin of these scams.
