Manx-based scammers prosecuted in China

Scammers made more than £4 million from a dozen victims through an investment fraud operated from the Isle of Man, a Chinese court has heard.

In China, six people who worked in Douglas for a company called Manx Internet Commerce have been convicted of fraud between 2022 and 2023.

The hearing was told they worked from a hotel in Douglas alongside almost 100 other people who'd come to the Isle of Man.

Experts say it's the first time such a con - relatively common in Asia - has been found in the west.
