Shunda Park Scam Center Closed in Myanmar after Capture by Rebels

What Happened?

An office compound called Shunda Park in Myanmar, which had long been used to conduct systematic and well-organized international cyber scams, has been closed after the area it is located in was captured by rebels opposed to the Myanmar government. At its peak, the scam center employed over three thousand workers who conducted a wide variety of cyber scams on victims in the United States, Europe, and Asia. 

The scam center had long been allowed to operate by the Myanmar government despite international calls to shut it down. 

Why it Matters

Using generative AI tools and platforms to create convincing advertisements and promotional material, online cyber scams have been growing worldwide in the past three years. According to the Pew Research Center, seventy-three percent of all adults in the United States experienced or encountered some type of online scam in 2024. Federal Trade Commission data shows that online scams cost Americans sixteen billion dollars in 2024, an increase of nearly twenty-five percent from the previous year.

Myanmar has been racked by civil war for the past five years, and the growth of such a large-scale organized crime enterprise in its territory illustrates the danger of lawlessness in failed states. When governments collapse or are fragmented by ongoing conflicts, it creates a void that criminal organizations are only too happy to fill.

While some of the people who worked at the Shunda Park facility were forced against their will, many others worked voluntarily in the hopes of making far more money than they otherwise could since the civil war has ruined Myanmar’s economy.

While the Shunda Park facility is located in a remote section of Myanmar, the targets of the scammers were almost exclusively in the United States and Europe. Scammers tend to target citizens of wealthier countries because people there have more assets to steal so they offer fraudsters more lucrative opportunities and higher earning potentials. Many of the people who worked at Shunda Park treated it like a normal job, even though their activities were fraudulent and in violation of international law.

Victims of scams often wonder why the U.S. government isn’t doing more to stop organized fraud like the kind that took place in Shunda Park. But when those criminal activities are orchestrated from outside U.S. territory, the criminals running things are beyond the jurisdiction of American authorities. Law enforcement agencies can prosecute internet service providers who host online scammers, but frequently the scammers just pretend to be legitimate and move to a different server.

How it Affects You

Many modern online cyber scams look and sound authentic, so potential victims need to use caution when presented with investment opportunities through solicitation. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true. Red flags for potential scams are returns on investments that are far above the norm, and calls for secrecy when scammers tell you not to tell anyone else about the alleged opportunity they are offering.
