China families appeal to free relatives held by scam gangs in Myanmar

Wang, 22, flew to Bangkok [..] after getting an unsolicited offer to join a film that was shooting in #Thailand
There was no movie
Instead, like hundreds of other Chinese men, Wang had been duped by a job offer [..] as part of a trap set by a criminal syndicate. [..] he was #kidnapped and put to work in one of the online scam centers [..] just across the Thai border in #Myanmar https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/22/asia-pacific/crime-legal/china-myanmar-scam-gangs-human-trafficking/ #SouthEastAsia
