On November 10, 2026, prosecutors indicted 27 members of a South Korean voice phishing organization based in Thailand, known as Longge Company, for defrauding approximately 705 victims out of 15.1 billion won. The group operated various scams, including romance scams and impersonating law enforcement, from January to July 2025. The organization, led by Chinese nationals, recruited South Koreans with promises of high earnings and luxury living but confiscated their passports upon arrival. Following police raids in 2025, the organization was reportedly reestablished within ten days. Prosecutors are also pursuing the extradition of Chinese leaders currently imprisoned in Thailand. The ongoing legal proceedings involve multiple indictments and trials for the members involved.
