Image
Money scams are not only crossing countries but also happening inside the country. Both during and after the pandemic, scammers targeted Cambodians, particularly through social media.  While there are a variety of scams, this article will focus on two specific examples.

But is it wise to take out a loan from the bank to purchase a house?
