The Maldives Anti-Scam Centre has officially joined “Operation Frontier+”, a significant international operation aimed at dismantling global scam networks. This initiative marks the third major international effort targeting cross-border scams and financial crimes, uniting national anti-scam centres from various countries.

The Frontier+ Alliance comprises 13 nations, including Australia, Brunei, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Africa, Macao, Malaysia, the Maldives, Dubai, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. This alliance was formed to enhance cooperation among anti-scam centres and enforcement agencies in member countries to combat transnational fraud effectively.

The operation, which commenced on March 10, 2026, and is set to continue until May 7, 2026, will particularly focus on investment scams, romance scams, e-commerce fraud, job scams, loan scams, phishing attempts, and impersonation scams targeting government agencies, police officials stated.

Authorities further announced that the results of “Operation Frontier+” are scheduled to be presented on May 13. A crucial international press conference, highlighting the operation’s achievements, will be held in the Maldives on May 20. During this briefing, the collective outcomes from all alliance countries, including the total number of arrests made and the value of funds frozen, will be revealed to a global audience, the police confirmed today.
