Two from Karnataka rescued from Chinese-run scam compound in Myanmar
Two youths from Karnataka, India, who were trapped in a Chinese-operated cyber scam compound in Myanmar's Kayin State near the Thailand border, have been rescued and repatriated to India. The operation was coordinated by the Karnataka Cyber Command, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Indian Embassy in Myanmar. The scam compound is allegedly run by Chinese syndicates involved in large-scale online fraud, trafficking people under the guise of lucrative overseas jobs and coercing them into romance and investment scams. The Karnataka Cyber Command issued an advisory warning job seekers to verify overseas offers, especially high-paying positions in IT, customer support, data entry, or online marketing requiring travel to Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, or Cambodia. Suspicious signs include unsolicited social media offers, immediate travel arrangements, free accommodation with high salaries, and requests to surrender passports or cross borders irregularly.
