  1. 我是一名中国人,我们自己国家的普通公民也正在承受来自东南亚哥哥诈骗地方的绑架诈骗,这些在东南亚从事诈骗的中国头目请不要于我们普通中国人民混为一谈,我们自己都恨不得扒他们的血肉,吸干他们的骨髓

  2. 欺骗同类是最可恶的事情,有钱有势又怎么样?失去了人性和最基本的道德,好像把别人关了起来,实际上自己才是深陷地狱的那个,成为一副行尸走肉。

  3. There is a new Chinese movie airing recently called “no more bets” that focuses on this topic… it is very realistic and horrifying, if anyone would like to explore further into the topic, I highly recommend it. The movie is phenomenal, and after watching, I came to this video and am amazed at the journalism here, thank you all for bringing more awareness to the issue of human trafficking.

  4. I am one of their victim until this day, They feared cambodia so until things settled they have changed us to Thailand and myanmmar border, I don't even know this places. But the name currently we are in is KK park, its been guarded with militias, Now when we want to go out they say pay $1500 and then they claimed $2500 is our transportation cost. but if you are sold for another chinese boss then its very hard to go our because they will ask more than $15k

  6. Not just Cambodia, the most famous place is north of Myanmar. Some areas controlled by warlords or the corrupt military leaders which no law at all. The local police station even got attacked by drones and the police were killed recently.

  7. We also have this in our country. They hire people from asia with a promise of good job and high pay but then end up becoming a slave Worker to scam people from around the world. They pose as something like a online casino but in reality They are a scam syndicate. Our authorities are tracking down this human trafficking activity in our country and it seems like they collaborator here inside. Immigration officer will let them in no questions asked and the crime syndicate will pay them depends on how many people they let in. The people are just evil.

  8. Number 1, Believe but verify.
    Number 2. Verification may not be possible.
    If Number 2 is not possible, don't fall for it. Value your life because they might take it if they can't take your money. Be smart.

  9. The local authorities don't care, in addition to their own collusion, this is in the end a Chinese on Chinese crime. Whenever there's a rich country boarding a bunch of poor ones, its a recipe for really bad crimes e.g. US and Latin and South America.

  10. It’s sad to know that my own country becomes famous for this horrible crime. Cambodian people are the victims too due to Rich Foreigners from China and Singapore using Cambodia as a place to laundering their black money.

  11. This is horrible. We have a lot of transnational criminal gangs around Thailand and we don't have this kind of documentary! You should at least educate people to defend themselves. You, stupid government!
