 The incident was uncovered by a single call to the police.
 He said, &#8220;I was abducted to a hotel and forced to commit a special fraud. I need your help.&#8221;
 It was in mid-January of this year that the Japanese Embassy in Cambodia received an anonymous &#8220;SOS mail. Local police contacted by the embassy searched a resort hotel in the southern province of Sihanoukville based on the information in the e-mail. They detained 19 Japanese who were inside the hotel on suspicion of illegal stay.

 They allegedly called a 62-year-old woman living in Tokyo&#8217;s Nerima Ward and told her that she had unpaid fees for a pay site, and cheated her out of 250,000 yen worth of electronic money. She stayed at a hotel from last December and reserved 10 rooms for one month. It seems that she was engaged in a special fraud to steal money by making false phone calls. About 60 smartphones, several computers, and a booklet containing a crime manual were found in the room.
 On April 11, the fraud group was transported from the capital Phnom Penh to Japan on a chartered plane. The Metropolitan Police Department&#8217;s Anti-Gang Division arrested all of them on board the plane. They were found to have committed more than 70 other crimes, and the police are investigating the actual damage.
 Most of the arrestees were &#8220;callers&#8221; who were attracted by comments on social networking services such as &#8220;resort jobs&#8221; and &#8220;high income for simple work,&#8221; and applied for the jobs.

 According to an April 12 report in the Asahi Shimbun Digital, when Kakeko arrived at the airport, his passport and cell phone were confiscated by the officer who gave him instructions. Without being told where they were going, they were put into a car and abducted to a hotel.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The Kakekos were placed under house arrest in their room and were forced to perform fraudulent acts halfway. They were forbidden to leave the house and were hardly allowed to move freely. They also had their personal information, such as home addresses and family members, in their possession. The main suspect, a man with tattoos on his arms, is said to be related to a gang.
 According to the statement of another scam member who was caught in the Philippines, Kakeko was threatened with violence and told, &#8220;You don&#8217;t know what will happen to you if you fly! and sometimes violence was used against him. Meals were delivered, and he slept on a mattress instead of a bed. Even if they wanted to quit, they couldn&#8217;t get out of it, and it was a miserable situation.
 On the other hand, the main suspect and a few of his directing officers seemed to be living a luxurious life.
 The main suspect has been moving from base to base in Cambodia since December 2009. He is said to have been going out freely even from his hotel, sometimes throwing parties and having a great time. He was also said to have used the hotel&#8217;s swimming pool to relax. They lived a completely different life from the &#8220;Kakego&#8221; girls.
 In Southeast Asia, where the cost of living is low and police crackdowns are relatively less severe, special fraud groups are increasingly establishing bases. According to the National Police Agency, &#8220;fictitious billing fraud&#8221; by kakegoes amounted to 10 billion yen last year nationwide.
