Hey There Am Texting U From Ethiopia Is The Work Bad Highly? They Cant Repatriate After The Contract Finished Pls Answer Me

Thank you for covering this story , the situation is actually far more worst

He is a lucky and wise person.

That is probably any african like u 🤣🤣🤣

That someone you know is not so much into Greed and can realise the situation fast enough due to this rational mindset, unlike most of the victims that prefers the wait-and-see strategy then ended themselves in a much worse condition that's much harder for them to escape such conditions, cos after they reach the den, all of their actions and communications will be monitored/controlled, like rabbits housed by wolves (the stories, the lion is the king, the tiger is the police, the elephant is the scholar, the wolves run in packs, the sheep sacrifices) This is too common when massive population meets capitalism One type of Greed meets another type of Greed for 'betterment' Mass breeding/population or the chasing for money/rich all over the world, which 'sadly'/'unfortunately' is fundamentally realised through slavery ,by taking advantage of the global environment(pre-built social structure), or/and the newbies that's going to get hard lessons learned, the lessons that's often (intentionly or unintentionly) omitted during their learning process, usually in schools, and also always in homes that prioritize money(the so-called 'wealth' by most) over anything else The global environment provides perfect conditions for such things to happen, this is the era of mass greed in human history, ppl are raised for slavery, just like the cattles raised for slaughter When you ask the parents in such regions, why they keep (popping) kids, most will answer for 'betterment', this betterment often means better than money for the vast majority, one that keeps bring money, is called never ending money, best investment ever, money printing machine is also realised/created under such environment in this sense that there will not be kids willing to keep bringing money after such scam is known globally/publicly as the new common sense, better print it 'ourselves', this is why you see never ending 'money' flowing into the 'market'/'society' during the recent century, and ppl keep falling into such 'scams', cos you have to get 'scammed' to get 'money', since 'money' itself has become 'scam' That's why you see they are often ignored by the 'authorities', as this is also seen as a driver for the 'economy', a necessarity to make 'money' 'useful', to 'realise' the 'scam' into 'money', therefore, 'scam' becomes 'money', 'money' becomes 'scam', this is a natural process and ppl will continue to get processed under this environment

@@huluqi3972 bro worte 10 paragraphs to say nothing

@@huluqi3972 , you realize that this greed you talk about is just a natural symptom of at the minimum, Capitalism right? Capitalism shoves people into the ditch and teaches us that the only way out is to get above others. It's no one's fault.. it is just how things are.

Its all propaganda, they didnt talk about the massive raid on their headquarters by the pla freeing thousands but here they spread propaganda on how its the chinese fault lmao,

Hahaha wake up.

@@d28k83 What forms of journalism would you suggest for people who want to be aware of what the world is, so they can perhaps know how to make the world as they wish it to be? (Or atleast improve their own ability to survive and thrive morally). Any news outlet is going to have biases attached, yet there are definitely still some real journalists or journalist-like content creators in the world today. The problem is: information is power, and journalism is not as profitable as manipulation is. Is that Awake enough for you?

Joe Biden did NOT wear his hat backward!

Only DW! Bbc is biased

If you paused at 22:13, the text don't even matched the narrative. There are good journalism out there, but not this one.

Don’t be ashamed. This is just a bump in the road. Whatever it is, look forward and onwards. Maybe you can use your story to teach others to be careful. Do good with the pain you’ve been through. You never know how many lives you’ll save ❤ stay strong

Please don't blame yourself, everything happens for a reason. Just guard yourself and move on

Seriously forgive yourself. I've also been scammed by a different deal but scammers are very good at gaining our trust. We're wiser now. It takes time to recover and not always easy to move forward but move forward we must.

You should be ashamed, it's your own fault. Hopefully you now know that.

​@@buildmotosykletist1987yes but no need to be so bitter

how\s that news.. these things are going on for decades already , in mid 2000s already.. online scam factories have always existed. not exactlyh scams... but in video game industries there's "gold farmers" , who use bot farms to generate currencies in the game... and sell those currencies for real money for lazy people... same kind of slavery work practically,. good example of late i can think of is the Venezuela runescape goldfarms.... where grandmothers and kids grind gold in Runescape videogame... and earn 2-3$/h can you imagine a videogame from 1998-1999 having better economy than your country, and earning more than your PhD educated doctors and scientists.... that's how fcked venezuela is.... baffling how latin-america still doesnt figure out how bad socialism/communism is....

Lies again? Contender Series Cold Storage

​@@NazriBStill truth? Warm Communicate Box Olives

What are you taking about we’ve had this in the U.S. in San Francisco for decades. They are now also doing it in BC Canada.

More than a year actually but many years already. In Asia many of those gangs are mostly from China

Not in Cambodia my dear. More than 30k Malaysian in Cambodia. Those who works as scammer is on their own will and walk freely after work hour.

Yeah, it's a huge industry on the Cambodian border. It's easy enough to search for the details.

@@kokoon2530 So what if it is their own free will, they are still scamming, how come the government is not doing anything?

Yes, and as a former Bangkok based journalist who frequently budget travels to Phnom Penh, I can name two well-known backpacker guesthouses that hosts South Asians who having just arrived in PP are, unknowingly, being trafficked. Of course, the gusthouse owners know exactly what is happening but turn a blind-eye. I know because I've been right there, seeing it happen first-hand.

​@kokoon2530 as an investigative journalist, I can ensure you, you are talking BS.

Chinese is not a language

@@WorkFromHomeAfrica How about deezenuts?

@WorkFromHomeAfrica "Chinese" (language) colloquially means the languages Mandarin or Cantonese in English. It is also referred to as Standard Chinese, the language spoken and understood by large segments of the populace. But usually if you are speaking of another language spoken in China or Taiwan, you refer to it by name - IE "Hokkien".

It most certainly is, with many diverse groups of dialects.@@WorkFromHomeAfrica

​@@WorkFromHomeAfricaneither is your mom.

Most of these scam compounds are located in lawless corrupted countries where there is little or no transparency among the elites in those countries like Cambodia for example where the scam ringleaders whom were mostly corrupted businessmen accused of money laundering and other scammers from China were facing charges as a result of China’s effective strong efforts to crackdown on these scam epidemics located within China’s borders. Acknowledging this, these ringleaders and all the other scammers then fled to other countries mostly to Southeast Asian nations most notably in Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos where corruption is a huge problem and these scam ringleaders and bosses often pose as “investors” gaining trust and confidence from the elites there in order to “invest and transform” their sleepy towns like Sihanoukville in Cambodia for example into a buzzing metropolis that will attract and encourage more Chinese investors and tourists in the form of gambling and 5 star retail and hotel hub. These ringleaders also changed their names and even acquired Cambodian citizenship and one of them even became PM Hun Sen’s right hand man. But in reality, these “hotels” and “retail hubs” are actually compounds for underground scam operations and the criminals can continue with their scamming activities and they recruit their workers via fake job offers and these unsuspecting job seekers were then kidnapped and locked in to those compounds and forced to scam and if they even try to resist, they would be met with brutal punishment like beatings, electrocution and even worse, being sold off to a different scam compound elsewhere. Not only Myanmar and Cambodia, these scam ringleaders and other groups of scammers also set up shop in countries like Philippines and Indonesia where they would operate in places and towns where it is isolated and less crowded so that nobody can suspect their whereabouts.

EXACTLY!! Most of the government members have tendency to corrupt af

I mean they literally said in the video that the government of Mynamar made a deal with these people to allow this to happen. So yea

Ironically, the rebels were the one who shut down some of the scam centers recently

wouldnt it actually be an overstatement

Wer are you from

How did you get out? Please help me. 😢 my son is there with a friend. And he is only 18. Please help me.

so sorry to hear that please contact your embassy, the people on this documentary Judah and the lady rescued me from there but they were contacted by my embassy after raising a distress call@@ytcBUBBLES-BOOM

@@ytcBUBBLES-BOOMthere is one way to escape..i escaped from there too

@@ranjitodari237 how is that? Because we don't have R50 000 to buy them out. Because now they want money for the release 😨

human trafficking and debt bondage slavery happen everywhere in the world; it's as common as the desperation and inequality that make poor people jump at job opportunities that are too good to be true

Modern world or not, greed and evil exists and always will.

I wouldnt call Myanmar and Cambodia very modern. But from some of the leaked photos, their living and work conditions seems like heaven comparing to construction workers in the middle east.

Greed and evil exists in many forms, slavery should NEVER be one of them in the modern world. We already have everything else like r*pe, m**eder, kidnapping, police brutality etc ​@@jamstagerable

It's all over the world, this one only went too far and too hurting

​@@patt5085probably because the people controlling them regularly have to go there too

I have also heard about this and there are the victims coming back from Cambodia have appeared in TV interviews about being kidnapped to do the “call center job” to cheat people.

So what the Philippines government do? They should have intervened Myanmar

​@@PissMennthe Philippine government is a circus right now. The government officials are fighting like teenagers.

@@PissMennthe same issue also happens in the Philippines. Last year a raid in a heavily guarded Chinese online casino complex exposed thousands of scam workers from allover Asia. The Chinese syndicate specifically targets non-locals because no ones going to check up on them in a foreign country. Very often we see in the news people jumping from buildings risking their life to escape. The complex even have its own hospital and market so nobody really can leave to ask for help.

What was your job?

@@barbarasara4033Arabs don’t work they are all lazy lol nice try

I'm glad that today you are a free man.

Same here bro

Same here bro

Yes. You can see them in town eating in chinese restaurants (phnom Penh for instance). They are very noticeable, move in groups, full of tattoos, short hair cut; and manners aren't exactly like genuine businessmen. There are gangsters.

People who have Pol Pot's blood.

India 🇮🇳 also has too many scammer…😂

Yes. Well said

Isn’t that the definition of abduction? 😂

Of you know you're being abducted, know they have weapons, etc. 😢

​@@kaakampuchea They do this to ALL foreign nationals in Dubai. Glad my brother and his wife and child came home to Australia. 😮

*from Taiwan (actually). the Chinese authority is actually the one that is tracking the money source and arresting the culprits. the reason why those organizers are called Chinese is solely because of the one-China thing

​@@eatdawontonsouphow do u know

@@madden12 cause I’m from Taiwan and scammers can be seen pretty much everywhere

​@eatdawontonsoup after a little investigating, I found out that the scammers were linked to the Macau syndicate and tasked with scamming Taiwanese and Malaysian companies. So your statement seems unfounded.

@@GenuisInvictus Tell me how you did your research? Please look at my reply to @madden12 . It has nothing to do Macau. The problem with Taiwan is the court release these scammers quickly and they roam from one country to another.

The authorities don’t care because they get paid to look away…aka 3rd world, overt corruption.

I'm guessing the Indian Government SUPPORTS the scammers, otherwise, they would have employed BRUTAL methods to CRUSH these criminal networks. I can't think of another reason.

Scam has integrated in the culture. Scammed been used there for a long time. It dates back to magic time. Magician used magic trick to trick people get money. Deep rooted

​@Transparenhaul01 You are just denying the truth

Cause it's easy business, there are occasional police raids on call centres too.

Do you think this situation not happen to Cambodia also ?? A lot of Cambodia work abroad especially in Vietnam and Thailand illegally and most of them never seen again

@kaingchhaylong2762 So what, countries in that part of the world just scamming each others people, promising them jobs and then slaving them when they show up? Or is it a 3rd country like china setting it up in all the countries?

And break more teeth? 😁

The Americans.

Most people who are scammed are their families, friends and acquaintances.

same here.. next time I would not mess around with them.

I suppose it's best to encourage them to get a different job. But don't pay them anything.

Same, I'll normally insult them not knowing they're slaves. But I will still report them any chance I get as it's also sad that people will be scammed out of their life savings... it's a sad state of affairs for both the slave scammers, and the scam victims who are both just looking for a better life

What did you do to prevent from being hurt?

Yeah, it's everywhere, especially dating apps

@@goodcommunitylife I am not the person that you asked your question to. I want nothing from you. Don't bother responding. (See: this step would be in the scammers playbook...build trust). Don't trust me. Trust yourself and think critically.

Social media companies need to be held responsible for, they do nothing to stop it, some even run paid advertising on facebook

We appreciate your support!

please save my brother from there today 5 June 2024 he is still there ​@@DWDocumentary

Exposing?🤔🤓🫡👍

Nah we will always hate scammers

No one this kind of cheap attention

But it’s always bad kind of attention 😢 our sad sad country being exploited by china

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

i was one of those😭

Yep very strange sounds like they traffickers found them

Dident RU-vid take away the count for downvotes ? I cant see any except upvotes. Its only visible for the creator

I'm so sick of these Chinese and Russian propaganda trolls being allowed on YT without a significant solution by YT to reduce their numbers. They flood comments of anything related to politics with their garbage. We can't have organic discussions on YT without these idiots contributing their literal 2 cents, which is their payment per post.

could be done by the ch 🐀🐁🐁

plugin bro@@Funkywallot

Thank you for your support!

Praying 😂😂😂

Africans should worry about china and ruSSia, the West has been bad, be it's absolutely nothing compared to them.

because their bosses are either elected councils or straight working in the governments

Ohh 😮

The CCP is the real devil

The title has literally Asia in it.

As in ehn, the narrative of Nigeria being a land for scammers is gradually changing. God help all victims

You know many nigerians are working with those triads? They are very easy to find in Hong Kong. One offered me to work with them online.

Wouldn't surprise me if the guards are also hostages, probably not willing to risk their lives

scam, self-scam and mass scamming at all levels, is what brings it to this point

Call on the commonwealth of independent states to handle this

Because some are backed by the Government. We have an ongoing senate hearing case here in the Philippines similar to this.
