A new report from the US State Department has highlighted alleged Cambodian government "corruption and official complicity" in human trafficking for the online scam industry.
The report said the government did not meet the minimum standards for eliminating trafficking and was not making significant efforts to do so.
Cambodia , Myanmar and Laos are at the centre of South-East Asia's online scam epidemic.
A high-level Cambodian delegation visited Australia earlier this month to learn about how to "fight against technological crime".
The State Department report said Cambodia 's ruling elite held significant interests in Australia 's real estate and financial markets while being vested in exploitative and criminal industries like online scamming.
The report cited as a "glaring example" Ly Yong Phat , an adviser to Prime Minister Hun Manet and powerful senator who owned the notorious O'Smach Resort and Casino near the Thai border, the report said.
Mr Sims said the State Department's report was "significant and warranted".
