The US Department of Justice has taken control of a website connected to an online fraud ring operating out of Burma.
The seized site, tickmilleas.com, was reportedly managed from the Tai Chang compound, also called Casino Kosai, in Kyaukhat.
Officials stated that it was designed to look like a real trading platform, which helps scammers convince people to invest in fake schemes.

According to investigators, victims saw fabricated account pages that showed strong returns and growing balances. They were also given detailed steps on how to transfer funds into the system.
The Department of Justice said:
Despite the seized domain being registered in early November 2025, the FBI already identified multiple victims who used the domain in the last month and were scammed out of their investments.
A “compound scam” is a setup in which fraud operations are carried out from large buildings or enclosed sites, often by workers forced or tricked into the job.
These sites have become a regional problem and are spreading through countries such as Burma, Cambodia, and Laos.
After the FBI warned them, Google and Apple deleted mobile apps linked to the domain, and Meta shut down more than 2,000 related accounts on social media.
The Justice Department explained that scams of this kind often begin with random messages from strangers on dating apps, social media, or messaging platforms.
