Good luck and thanks a million exposing these. Thought they did only target Chinese who are living abroad, thru LinkedIn or other social. Now non-Chinese too.
Lots of Chinese has moved from Burma to Dubai to parts of Malaysia. They constantly evolve to new tactics. From love, investing, Telco, bank, police, logistics, gov agency, its keep changing and updating. I play with many of them wasting months on some.
I saw a passenger being stopped by chinese customs at the Shanghai airport because he is going to Vietnam without a valid work visa, so immigration was telling him this is pig butcher that you are going to. The guy was pretty adamant about going regardless of warnings so he was arguing with Customs. An hour late I saw him running through the gate, almost missing his flight. Speechless. Also my first time witnessing customs officials being so thoughtful. In the US that would’ve been a straight NO without an apology.
Sometimes scammers pretend to be your friends, or think you are the handyman, blah blah. People are taught to be nice and kind, therefore, may try to call back to let them know that you are not the person they are looking for. Rule of thumb, if you don't know them, block them.
Can I submit an article to the BBC? I encountered the same thing. I wanted to see how these people work. In the end, I felt sorry for this person and wanted to spend money to rescue him. I failed and spent a lot of money!😢
I don't trust sending messages to strangers on social media who look like Instagram influencers. These photos seem too fake, and my first impression is that they must be scammers.
“I really do feel for these people who are in this situation against their will” I don’t. If one doesn’t greedily fancy he/she can rapidly make a fortune without hardworking, knowledge and experience(this is written on those recruitment ad), he/she won’t fall in the trap in the very first place. So, no I pay no shit on what situation they’re in. They wanted that and they’re bathing in it.
As a matter of fact, if you are really a reporter, you should know these kind of organized crimes are located inside Cambodia . The only thing which is related to China is that the Chinese government has tried their best to ask the cooperation with the Cambodian government to terminate these kinds of crime organizations because a lot of Chinese citizens have been victimized by these organized crimes too !
The crime organizers are not usually people from PRC. They are the major powerful local families who live in Cambodia. Before the operation of the Chinese and Cambodian governments, there were four major famous families running these kind of organized crimes. They were so filthy rich that they even had their own armies to fight against the local government. But after the crackdown, I have no idea how many of those powerful families are still left behind or may be more new ones pop up since I did not follow up the latest news for a while ! The people from PRC were the ones sat behind the computers to run all kind of scam to trick the foreigners. And also were the people from Taiwan, Thai, Vietnam……and all other Asian countries. Some of these people were lured to Cambodia for high pay jobs. Some were tourists who owed the money from the casinos. Some were just kidnapped on the streets. As soon as they were locked up by these criminals, they were forced to lure their friends or schoolmates or coworkers ….to travel to Cambodia to be another victims. When these resources were running out, then they had to sat in front of the computers to trick the foreigners for money or ask their own families to send money to get them out from this hell hole. If they refused to do whatever they were told to do , then they would be tortured by beating or electrical shock or some other kind of cruelty . Of course, women would be raped constantly! If unfortunately they passed away during the brutality but their internal organs were still in perfect condition, then these criminals can make one more fortune from these victims by selling their organs ! If you have prejudice against PRC, then please search the old news from the medias of Taiwan to find out how many Taiwanese were saved from the last crackdown and be able to reunite with their families in Taiwan at last ! Or if you know some other languages of the other Asian Countries, search their old news to find out the real nationalities of the big bosses of these organized crimes!
@@Monica13888 Thx for the lengthy info which majority was widely reported and known, think last year, when at least two of the very powerful evil families with armies you mentioned (the big bosses) were cracked down by the Cambodian govt after critical pressure from the world. The head of one such families of Chinese descent was killed, two heads of another family of Chinese descent were despatched back to China. The two families were severely smashed, and hence the influence of the big 4 was at least temporarily curbed. But believe they might quickly reshuffle n come back.
