Foreign Fraudsters Stole Money Using Fake Bank Website, Court Told

A team of five foreigners living in Cambodia used the fake website “canadiabank.com” to defraud a victim of tens of thousands of dollars at a time, the Appeal Court heard on Thursday. A morning session at the court heard a range of cases from drugs and robbery to fraud ­— all of which were delayed as court officials searched for the key to the courthouse.

That was the explanation as presiding judge Nguon Ratana opened the session about 20 minutes after the scheduled 8 a.m. starting time, explaining officials had not immediately been able to find the key.

Proceedings also hit a snag with a rush to locate interpreters and prisoners, some of whom were brought from prisons in Tbong Khmum and Pursat provinces. Court officials also could not find the lawyers for some cases, leaving defendants alone and prompting clerks and others to get on their phones to track down the missing participants.
