Up to 100,000 still work in Myanmar fraud centers – and not all victims, Thai police say

“Many people use Thailand as a way to infiltrate Myawaddy to find work, and this is not only the communications center gangs but also gambling online and other professions,” Tachai said in an interview.
His comments contradict large -scale reports that the Miadoudi fraud center workers were victims, and attracted to go there by criminal chiefs.
Jason Tower, an analyst at the American Peace Institute and an expert in regional fraud centers, said many people who traveled to Tayeb to areas such as Myawaddy were trapped in fraud.
“Many have gone a good mind, and they only discovered that they had been traveled at a later time,” he said.
Many former fraud workers describe they are trapped in vehicles, as they were forced to deceive strangers online to transfer large sums of money, and they often pretend to be romantic interests.
