Meanwhile, Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet company, is the number one internet service provider in Myanmar, including to scam centers.

And roughly 25 new scam compounds have been constructed inside Myanmar since an enforcement operation at the Thai border in 2025. Scammers from about 13 of these areas used Starlink IP addresses to get online between early March and the end of May this year.

In many instances, scammers in Myanmar have routed their internet connections through the U.S.-based cloud services to conceal where they were really located before connecting to major platforms, primarily Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Furthermore, U.S. legislators and government officials have requested that American tech companies cooperate to cut scammers off from U.S. infrastructure, but on a voluntary basis.

In November 2025, District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro created the Scam Center Strike Force to target scam compounds.

The Associated Press reported that in May, the Strike Force collaborated with Meta, SpaceX, Google among others to interrupt over 1.4 million social media and email accounts, malicious IP address traffic, seize satellite internet terminals and remove servers and infrastructure connected to Southeast Asian scam networks.
