Police in China, the United States and the United Arab Emirates have arrested 276 telecom fraud suspects in a joint operation to crack down on fraud gangs operating in Dubai, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported on Sunday.

The operation was the first of its kind between the three countries and “successfully busted nine fraud dens,” the report said.

Victims were duped into non-existent investments in cryptocurrency, the report further stated.

“Chinese police will deepen pragmatic cooperation with more countries in cracking down on wire fraud,” the report said, citing China’s public security ministry.

China has also worked with Burma to extradite a large number of suspects involved in transnational cyber fraud gangs in recent years.
