Eighty-two Chinese people, including 52 Taiwan residents, have been arrested in Izmir in western Turkey on allegations of fraud.
Turkish police say the group are suspected of installing monitoring cameras near ATM machines in order to steal people's passwords, most of whom are Chinese tourists, and then scamming them from a call center set up on the Chinese mainland.
The credit card details belonging to 3,000 Chinese tourists were reportedly stolen. Turkish police say an investigation is ongoing. Dozens from Taiwan were arrested for alleged telecom fraud in Kenya and Malaysia earlier this year.
