福克斯新闻独家报道： 联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔表示，该局正在扩大全球范围搜索，打击针对美国人的大型诈骗窝点。他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“熄灯行动”已查获与这些诈骗计划相关的约170亿美元资金。
“我今年71岁，年纪足够大，清楚像我这个年纪的人常常会成为目标，因为我们对某些新技术不太熟悉。非常感谢你们为我们保驾护航。”一名受害者对联邦调查局说道。
“我亲眼看着祖母将毕生积蓄都骗走了，我希望能将这些骗子全部绳之以法。”另一名受害者说道。
“熄灯行动”是联邦调查局发起的全球行动，旨在识别、破坏并捣毁针对美国人的境外诈骗窝点，该行动结合了海外突袭和资产扣押，同时切断诈骗网络的通讯渠道、解救被贩运的劳工，并将被盗资金返还给受害者。

帕特尔表示，这项由联邦调查局牵头的行动旨在打击在东南亚和中东地区运作的大型诈骗窝点犯罪集团，这些地区的被贩运劳工被迫为数千英里外的受害者实施诈骗。
“不幸的是，大多数受害者都是美国的老年人。”帕特尔告诉福克斯新闻，他指出这些诈骗计划通过社交媒体、电话、短信和Telegram实施。

这类诈骗的常见套路之一是，犯罪分子先与受害者建立线上友谊或恋爱关系，随后诱骗他们进入诈骗加密货币投资平台。
受害者最初可能会以为自己的投资获得了高额回报，最终却发现无法提现。
“这些就是城镇，这些就是城市。”帕特尔在谈及此次行动打击的诈骗窝点时说道，“它们是实实在在的村落，有各类建筑，他们强迫人们从事强迫劳动。”
据联邦调查局透露，8月份在柬埔寨占地约200英亩的奥兹马奇度假村诈骗窝点开展的行动中，执法人员在三天内搜查了28栋建筑，查获了113个硬盘、15台电脑和35箱证据。
该局还在努力阻止美国人在钱款落入诈骗分子手中之前就成为受害者。
诈骗分子正盯上你的钱。以下是你绝对不能做的一件事
作为国内预防分支行动的“升级行动”中，联邦调查局会主动识别并联系加密货币投资诈骗的潜在受害者。该局表示，他们已向10406名受害者发出预警，阻止了约6.6亿美元的损失，同时查获或冻结了另外1.22亿美元的加密货币。
联邦调查局称，他们联系的人群中有77%当时并不知道自己正陷入骗局。该局还将99名受害者转介至自杀干预机构，查封了584个诈骗网站，并将7670个诈骗账号移交私营部门处理。

今年9月，由联邦调查局火奴鲁鲁分局人员组成的美国司法部诈骗中心突击小组协助马达加斯加当局捣毁了13个由中国有组织犯罪集团运营的诈骗中心，并处理了超过3200台电子设备。
帕特尔表示，诈骗窝点的地理转移是犯罪集团整体迁移的一部分。

“这就是为什么我们看到这些诈骗窝点正在向中非和撒哈拉以南非洲转移，而我们已经提前部署好准备将它们一网打尽。”帕特尔说道。

Kash Patel reveals FBI has caught all 10 of top 10 Most Wanted fugitives
Kash Patel, testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee, reveals that the FBI has caught all 10 of the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted fugitives.

FIRST ON FOX: FBI Director Kash Patel says the bureau is expanding its global hunt for sprawling scam compounds that prey heavily on Americans, telling Fox News Digital that Operation Blackout has seized roughly $17 billion tied to the schemes.
“At 71 years old, I’m old enough to know that people my age are certainly often targeted because of our unfamiliarity with certain new technologies. Thanks so much for looking out for us,” one victim told the FBI.
“I watched my grandmother lose her life savings to scammers and I would love to see them all be put away,” said another victim.
Operation Blackout is the FBI’s global campaign to identify, disrupt and dismantle foreign scam compounds targeting Americans, combining overseas raids and asset seizures with efforts to cut off the networks’ communications, rescue trafficked workers and return stolen money to victims.

Patel said the FBI-led initiative is targeting criminal syndicates operating massive scam compounds across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where trafficked workers are forced to carry out fraud schemes against victims thousands of miles away.
“Unfortunately, the majority of the targets are senior citizens in America,” Patel told Fox News, pointing to schemes carried out through social media, phone calls, text messages and Telegram.

In one common version of the scheme, criminals cultivate an online friendship or relationship with a victim before steering them toward a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment platform.
Victims may initially believe their investments are generating significant returns, only to discover they cannot withdraw their money.
“These are towns, these are cities,” Patel said of the scam compounds targeted by the operation. “These are actual villages with structures where they force people into forced labor.”
An August operation at Cambodia’s roughly 200-acre O’Smach Resort scam compound involved searches of 28 buildings over three days and resulted in the seizure of 113 hard drives, 15 computers and 35 boxes of evidence, according to the FBI.
The bureau is also trying to stop Americans from becoming victims before their money ever reaches the scammers.
SCAMMERS ARE COMING FOR YOUR MONEY. HERE’S THE ONE THING YOU MUST NEVER DO
Under Operation Level Up, its domestic prevention component, the FBI proactively identifies and contacts potential victims of cryptocurrency investment scams. The bureau says it has notified 10,406 victims and prevented an estimated $660 million in losses, while seizing or freezing another $122 million in cryptocurrency.
The FBI said 77% of the people it contacted did not know they were being scammed. The bureau has also referred 99 victims for suicide intervention, seized 584 scam websites and sent 7,670 scam accounts to private-sector companies for action.

In September, a DOJ Scam Center Strike Force team that included FBI Honolulu personnel helped authorities in Madagascar take down 13 scam centers operated by Chinese organized crime syndicates and process more than 3,200 electronic devices.
Patel said the geographic shift is part of a broader migration by the criminal networks.

“That’s why you’re seeing the migration of these scam compounds to central and sub-Saharan Africa, which is where we are already pre-positioned to take them off,” Patel said.
