目标
Cybercrime is NOW a multi-billion dollar industry in Southeast Asia (SEA), ruining tens of thousands of lives around the world. With powerful backers and protected havens in SEA, the 'fraud factories' there have spawned a secondary industry of human trafficking (HT) to feed their labor-intensive criminal enterprises.
Supercharge our mission against the multi-billion dollar SEA cybercrime syndicates!
Funds will be used for prevention, protection and prosecution. Empower GASO to better defend forward --to seek out, learn, report, and disrupt the SEA cybercrime industry.
Prevention
Awareness of developments in cyber scams in Asia and how human trafficking is affecting YOUR online experience is still low, due to language barrier, embarrassment of victims, ignored reports
Driving public awareness
- Website, social media, and media
- Interviewing victims, researching, translating for GASO's reporting
- Social media campaigns to include English
- Expose latest online scams and job scams leading to HT to scams companies
- Helping news media to penetrate more of the SEA cybercrime industry
Fraud site blacklist
- Updating and verifying each entry of GASO's web-searchable list of the latest reported fraud sites. It is now at 14,000+ fraud sites, with 10-30 added daily.
Live Chat
- To keep up with increasing queries from scam victims, HT victims and media (already at 8 - 12 reporters a week)
- In more than a dozen instances their direct intervention has prevented victims from sending millions of dollars to fraudsters
Translators
- Needed more for website articles, social media, news, and for human trafficking rescuers on the ground.
Protection
For protecting the physical lives of HT victims enslaved by SEA cybercrime syndicates.
GASO volunteer rescuers:
- Verify the sincerity and authenticity of a scam company worker asking for help
- Find, relay messages, and connect HT victims with their families so that their families can report their kidnapping
- Liaise with authorities, embassies of HT victims and local partners
- Strategize plans and ideas for exfiltration from guarded compounds
- Resist ransom demands and extortion; work with informants
- Properly document to ensure court-admissibility of any findings
- One rescue operation typically take ~2 weeks of interviewing, verifying, assessing, and planning, not counting police or embassy response times and final debriefing.
Temporary safehouse in Cambodia
- For approximately 35 HT victims.
- Victims who cannot afford to fly home yet can stay there
- Provides 2 meals a day
Financial Aid
- For travel costs of handicapped and other deserving HT victims
- Emergency aid for victims injured when escaping from cyberscams compounds (e.g. jumping off from the third level) or rape victims (one carried to term while still trapped)
- Legal aid to help negotiate with the immigration office of Cambodia to provide visa extension for HT victims who are continually fined for overstaying
Prosecution
Law enforcement everywhere is simply overwhelmed and overmatched. Outside China, none of the principal beneficiaries of SEA scams and HT have been prosecuted, and no victim have been made whole. The current state of affairs is unacceptable continuing indefinitely.
Group case consolidation
- Victims of same scam company are highly dispersed worldwide. We group them together and show to law enforcement. It has been done.
- Police generally do not / cannot investigate "small" cases
- Database management and security
Cryptocurrency tracing & freezing
- Law enforcement do not have enough personnel trained to trace for every crypto case, while lawyers & private investigators are not affordable, scalable and appropriate for a societal problem.
- Incoming reports to GASO will be traced by volunteer certified crypto investigators, who will immediately alert law enforcement for immediate freezing orders, at no cost to victims, except for a copy of a report.
- We have hotlines to FBI field offices, Secret Service, Dept of Homeland Security, California prosecutor Erin West, the CIB in Taiwan, CAD in Singapore, police in mainland China, and 2 major cryptocurrency exchanges.
- Cryptocurrency tracing tools have monthly costs (~$1,000/mo.)
Digital forensics
- Typing scam websites and apps
- Monitoring for changes and their suspected scam IT developers in Chinese
Scam compound entity research
- Research company registries, public documents and other open sources in Chinese, English and other languages
- Narrowed the search for law enforcement by "connecting the dots" between scam compound operators/owners and online fraud cases.
Intelligence Gathering
- Properly documenting criminal evidence from HT victims of SEA scam companies
- Cultivating industry insiders informants and monitoring public chats
- Scam baiting - Because most victims do not have complete evidence, post facto data by scam-baiting team can complete the chain of evidence. This also uncovers new tactics, tricks, websites, bank accounts, cryptocurrency addresses for fraud.
So far GASO has been getting by being self-funded and run by volunteers and victims. GASO, registered under Neosultancy Inc (EIN 88-1052652), is 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. If you find GASO's work valuable, please help sustain our momentum.

我以引我入虛擬加密貨幣投資黑網(m.xeddq659.com)的網友帳號名字縮寫捐款，希望他平安回頭，安全上岸，一生安康，就不枉我與他相識一場。與他聊天四個多月，我相信他的內心有盞良善的燈，祈願他護住此燈，永不熄滅，常保希望。 感謝 BBC NEWS 報導殺豬盤詐騙，我是看到這個報導才得知GASO的。感謝有您們的努力。功德無量。辛苦了。

詐騙的人很有問題 但有時被騙的人也很有問題！只要頭腦清楚、最重要不貪心,不貪便宜,很難被騙！有時候被騙的人也應該學會自省一下 。比如一個又帥又多金或外型亮麗的富家女為什麼會喜歡自己？對自己有沒有正確認識。生活沒有近路,只有自己多行善積德，努力工作，認識到造物主上帝才能鎮長改變自己。

平常遇到騙子都會反詐一筆，怎知最近這次被識破了。原以為結束，給了對方一句問候，她竟跟我說實話，講述了自身狀況。一開始求我幫她點業績讓她在那邊好過點，並承諾我匯過去的錢都一定會要的回來。我想著反正不是什麼大錢當做善事，她沒騙我，反而讓我賺了一點。之後就跟我說不想騙我，叫我不要再跟她聯絡了。 這次捐款是從詐騙集團賺來的錢，衷心希望那女孩能盡早順利平安回家。

Fate is by chance, also by choice. The black swain is inevitable. I love the sentence of the century “ There is no one who cannot be deceived, only the scripts do not fit”. I chose to forgive. That’s a part of my healing process. I’m very sorry for what happened to lots of us here. The pain is so surreal. Wish we will all heal eventually.

Came here from watching the BBC documentary on pig butchering. Truly inspiring how you have taken an otherwise traumatic and crippling experience as a driving force to create change in this world. Keep doing what you're doing. Thankful for heroes like you in the world.

看了BBC的纪录片，好想帮助那些被迫诈骗的狗推，但真的好无能为力。好想为他们做点什么，但除了捐款真的帮不上忙...遇到这种简直无解的困境，身为凡人真的好渺小，也只能向佛菩萨祈求庇佑了吧，阿弥陀佛！我为所有受害者和被胁迫的工人们祈祷！
