We choose our battles carefully in this very unfair world. If our conviction to bring awareness to the public regarding scrupulous scammers is strong enough, we find a way. Pity that it takes a more high-profile Chinese actor to make the authorities sit up and take notice.
I am from Myanmar. These Thai- Myanmar border scam cities are backed by Border guard force (BGF) of Myanmar. Saw Chit Thu is the leader of this group which is an ally of Myanmar Military and they are also part of Myanmar military. There are also scam cities located in Northen and southern Shan state of Myanmar. The northen scam city located in Laukai has been captured by China backed MNDAA forces and ceased to exist. But the southern scam city located in Tachileik is still operational since it is under Myanmar Military control. There are also scam hubs located in Yangon and Mandalay but these are smaller compare to these scam cities.
I forget to add that corrupt thai police and politicians are also involved in these scam business. Even some politicians from thailand are shareholder and that's why the scammers use Thailand as a cover to get their victims.
I'm Thai, and in our country, we often see news about Thai people going to Cambodia, Myanmar, or Laos to work in scam call centers and then escaping back. Even though they can't disclose who helped them cross the border, we all suspect it involves coordination between Thai authorities and authorities in Cambodia, Myanmar, or Laos. It's a corrupt world that we, as neighboring countries, live in.
Why does Thailand allow there to be a huge opening in their border where they know people are smuggled through? The world knows what is going on yet they just let the criminals park their boat there and don’t have anyone there. Seems Thailand is equally to blame
There’s no doubt that Thailand is involved in this matter. Electricity comes from Thailand, the internet comes from Thailand, and the people who were deceived into traveling came from Thailand. It’s impossible for Thailand not to know about this. From the clips showing border crossings, it seems very easy-there are no Thai or Myanmar soldiers present at all.
Also Chinese media, including those in Hong Kong and Taiwan, have downplayed China's involvement in this criminal and only blamed Thailand for the crime.
...Thanks for a great commentary on such an urgent and complicated subject, there are probably a high dark figure of activities that never gets exposed and yet protected the by government, and the more we can spread awareness, the more people will realize the fb/X/tt marketing campaigns are dangerous traps...Stay Strong!🧡
Ditto in Vietnam. I had a Vietnamese friend a year ago tell me he found a job in Cambodia, but that they were going to take his passport away when he got there. I told him I was going to drive over to his apartment and take his passport away from him if he didn't get that crazy idea out of his head. He is now working on an import/export ag business with China. One scam down, a million to go. Thanks for showing this, gabi.
I have liked your content for a while, and I really like the tone you've been taking on, doing more investigating and interviewing to give us a well-rounded view of the places you visit. Keep up the good work!
It's heart breaking what they have done in Myanmar. I was lucky enough to spend time in this wonderful country back in 2013. YT has blocked this video, shame on you.
Whenever I watch this type of content, I think about how we are still here as species. Humans have gone to the lowest level of morality. All in the name of power and money. I just wish this video can reach more people to prevent more innocent, desperate people to become victims of human trafficking. This breaks my heart. No one deserves to go through this hell. Thanks Gabi for making this documentary, putting yourself in a very risky position.
Ciao Gabi such a interesting sad story but thanks for showing us whats happening could have been very Risky but thanks. I really did enjoy your Dubai story which i had no idea what was going on there. Grazie molto.
As a Myanmar citizen, i wanna explain about it in details. It all began in 2019 and on 2020, Myanmar government created a investigation commitee for the scam city. At that time, the power was in the NLD and not in the military. But when the coup was happened in February 2021, all that investigation were gone. BGF aka kna is backed by Burma military. The military support all wages and weapons for the BGF because they don't wanna lose control over the border town (myawaddi) from the rebellion groups. Also BGF and Burmese military share the profit from the scam center half by half. If they military want to take action on the scam center, they would have to take action on BGF and when the BGF doesn't have control power on the city, the military will lose that border town. Thats why Burmese military doesn't have so much attention on there.
Oh no wonder the time when the Indonesian president saved 20 victims from Indonesia was so easy. The rescue was carried out by only 2 people without any escort and without any obstacles, in a short time they managed to bring 20 people. But This situation makes Myanmar considered a very unsafe country by other countries.
'The South Sudanese Civil War was a multi-sided civil war in South Sudan fought from 2013 to 2020, between forces of the government and Christian forces. '
It was/is definitely sad and empathy to those who were trapped there unaware that they had/have to ended their life in these way. The question was why the Thai government did not even care to at least try to sealed up with metal fencing up some river area points over there.
As a Myanmar citizen I must say its all about global community ignoring our political regime . its a domino effect which will come and knock at your door one day. we must stand together
Although Myanmar’s BGF is leading on the Myanmar side, both Thai and Myanmar influences are present in the area. People there mainly use Thai currency, Thai electricity, and Thai SIM cards. Behind the scenes, there are likely many investors involved. I don’t live in that town anymore, so I don’t know the details. It’s complicated, but Myanmar’s ongoing political conflict has made the situation worse. I wish for the country’s politics to improve, but I can’t sleep peacefully, constantly worrying about what might happen next. If only our government weren’t so obsessed with power, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Recently a Chinese actor got tricked for an acting opportunity to fly over to Thailand. He immediately lost access of his passport, his girlfriend in China noticed that he was out of reach for 2 days and went to report and asked for help, some other famous Chinese actors / actresses helped out spreading words in social media, Chinese gov helped rescued him within 3-4 days, his hair was shaved, his leg was bruised. He said right after he landed at Thailand airport, he got on the car and it went to the Thailand-Myanmar border, they immediately shaved his hair (to make sure he could be easily identified within the village) and trained him on typing and scamming. He already looked so miserable within 4 days, it's hard to imagine how others look after they got tortured for months. Right now, people in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan all know that it's too dangerous to travel to Thailand right now, so the famous Hong Kong singer just cancelled the concert that's supposed to be in February. So the victims in those camp were forced to do scamming work, they got 4 hours of sleep, some pretty girls got captured to be prostitutes at the nightclub there, if the victims' family can't pay the money, the victims would get killed and their organs would be sold.
Actually you transfer a great message to society and vigilant information to job aspirants for seeking correct details before apply a job in a company. Appreciate to your efforts bro. Great👏👍
I visited Burma a few years ago as a tourist. It's a beautiful country with wonderful, welcoming people. I'm sorry to hear what's going on in Myanmar. I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out. I wish they could have peace. 🙏🏽🙏🏾🤷
No doubt, Myanmar is a beautiful wonderful country and Myanmar people are awesome. Burma: From century-long Anglo Western Colonialism to decades-long Anglo Western boycott/sanction to current Anglo Western sponsored civil war.. It never ends. 😔 I too hope Myanmar manages to sort things out.. Long-live, peace & prosperity to Myanmar and her people! ✌
This will not happen inside Burma. That horrible things always happen at the border because neighbouring countries like China, Thailand and Laos will always support criminals to ruins the country behind the scenes. Eventually, those countries will come up at the end like good guys to rescue. Those countries aren’t good at all to Burmese.
Which telecommunication company supporting those center? Why can't Thai government or Burmese government can not figure it out? Why can't any of governments can not figure it out or can not shut it down? Are those government also in it with those businesses?
Thank you for raissing awareness about this important issue that deserves more attention. You are truly brave for going to the region and documenting this.
@@izy_Boy Yes, it's within Myanmar, but that place is mostly populated by Chinese people. Now, the most common online scram are from Chinese people. Since that place is on the border of Burma, there is no government or law, so they do whatever they want.
The police and government play a vital role in combating abuse to create a safer community. They are raising awareness, improving law enforcement training, and forming dedicated units for effective case handling. Collaborative efforts with non-profits provide victims with essential counseling and legal support. By prioritizing these actions, authorities aim to strengthen response systems and focus on prevention and education to minimize future abuses, particularly in the realm of human trafficking. This multi-faceted approach not only addresses the immediate needs of victims but also fosters a culture of vigilance and support within the community, ensuring that individuals are empowered to report incidents and seek help. Ultimately, the goal is to build a resilient society where safety and justice are upheld for all.
I was horrified and so saddened by this video! 😔 I can’t even imagine how people could treat other human beings this way, and with no conscience!! You and Michelle are truly doing the Lord’s work! 🙏🏽 Her for being on the ground helping these people get their lives back safely and you for alerting the public about the atrocities happening in Myramar. Thank you Gabi, for all you do in educating us and bringing into the light the darkness that hides behind the beauty so to speak! ❤
So brave of you to take the risk in filming this documentary, i hope and pray that the Myanmar gov't can come up with a solid solution for this problem. My heart goes out to all the trafficked victims of the scam city. Thank you for sharing this to the world!
I think Michele is doing an amazing job but extremely risky for her. Also why doesn't the thai army patrol that river. But I suppose they might already be and taking brown envelopes of cash. Stay safe michele
Visited the Golden triangle in September and was told about the scamming factories and heroin factories very disturbing to know this exists just a stones throw away from the Land of smiles, I am sickened and burdened by the human trafficking, torture and corruption on innocent victims how heartbreaking for their families and the scars they are suffering in the hands of these animals, I am praying God save their souls and deal with the evil that is actively destroying peoples lives as we live they are dying . God be with thise who are helping to free the victims and thanks Gabby and Michelle for your passion and support to highlight a troubled and sadistic society ❤
And today there was news that even a job advertisement claiming to work in Singapore ended up with the applicants being sold to Cambodia. There was also news that because this crimes in Thailand were already very high-profile, the KK park would move to Malaysia.
This is a real story! People who said it is the fake story are the people from the scam compound they are forced to say. I started to know that many kidnapped or scammed it started from Thailand then transferred to Myanmar. Maybe Thai people are involved too, seem like Thailand is not the safe place for the tourist.
While everyone talking about Myanmar-Thai Border cases, I'm just wondering why no one talk about the Makati City and Manila Bay in Philippines which the Central Government are covering for the Chinese Scammers who earnings much more profits than Myanmar -Thai Border cases.
I've read about people not just lured, but also kidnapped in Thailand and sold into these scam compounds. Thousands of Indians travelling to south east asian countries are reported missing. Is this true ? Because I was thinking of relocating to Thailand on a retirement visa. Now I have serious doubts that its not a safe place for a single guy to live long term. Atleast I'm safe & alive in my home country India
La seule chose à faire est de trouver du travail dans son pays … d ´origine . Inform people of the dangers of working abroad ; and avoid countries that cannot provide safety for all . There should be Thai police along this river … and educate people not to talk on internet to strangers
wow, watching this made me realise it happened to me twice! first time as said was looking for jobs in Cambodia for foreighners, got a reply, promissed 1,5k and bla bla....but the second the person said they will hold my passport i bailed (obviously) second time got a random text from a Cambodian number, a girl...said she thought i was Josh (her classmate :D ) that she lost contact with.....exchanged a few texts, and then she gave me a second WhatsApp number explaining the first one was her work number and the second one was her private! - just like they said when the person makes first contact he transfers the scam victim to a dif. department...and again obviously i knew its some dodgey shit so i blocked the numbers, but still......FFS. that's crazy. and very sad governments are not doing anything about this....
Thanks Gabi. Nobody wants to talk about that stuff and you will get trolled on socials by nationals but yes it is true about countries like Dubai doing that. And thanks for tackling this subject. I can't as I live and work here. If you want to meet a local here in Myanmar I can show you around. I live and work here along with thousands of other international teachers. I also have a small UA-cam channel but I don't upload lately as its hard to work full time and do UA-cam but you can find a lot of real stuff on Myanmar that you can not find if you see a lot of the news and rubbish on UA-cam all from people who don't live here. You will be fine and safe here. Its not like how they show in the news. My friend Niki Proshin a huge UA-camr was here recently and I can hook you up with the truth and all sides of Myanmar. Let me know Liza - oh yeah, forgot to say, lots of Italians in Myanmar and I also speak Italian ;-)
Yes Gabi, you are right. It's very sad and shocking to know that such a large number of people are being human trafficked, exploited and held against their will under the worst conditions unable to flee. Thank to Mechelle and you Gabi trying to help those people. I truly hope that something can be done to end their miserable situation.
These scams aren’t new. Initially they were carried out in their home of China or taiwan( I’ve lived there) but there was the pandemic and operations before or after were generally based in Cambodia. Cambodia shut most of that down hence why this is new in Myanmar. Operations moved to a new spot. Same people same scams
' It is estimated that today around 60% of South Sudan's population would identify as Christian. Among Protestants the Anglican Church and the Presbyterian Church ' - GOOGLE
I used to work for a company in Malta that was doing the same thing! I quit but the person in my previous role made over 100k exploiting these people, he was Maltese and he didnt even get a prison sentence! Disgusting
Gabi thank you for this important video 🙏

Dit you se that TNT ( Thailand News Today)
Had you mention on this ?
We choose our battles carefully in this very unfair world. If our conviction to bring awareness to the public regarding scrupulous scammers is strong enough, we find a way. Pity that it takes a more high-profile Chinese actor to make the authorities sit up and take notice.
I wondered why it wouldn’t let me download it. Such a shame they police content like this and censor it. Hope it gets the views it deserves Gabi.
Sei un Grande.🙏🏽
The Thai government have cut power to the scam centres so don't underestimate the reach of the video. Awesome job
Give this man a Netflix series. The quality keeps getting better. Shame on UA-cam for restricting this video, so much for the free speech dream.
Wow❤

Not Only Saw Chit Thu , there are many investors behind the sense.
Why Thailand government release this issue for long time.
But all are connected to CCP chinese criminal party.

Thanks for sharing this story with us. It’s so sad😢 I will share this video on my platforms.
Thank you very much 🙏

Silly comment. Should Thailand build a wall like what Trump try to do wit Mexico border? 😂😂
@you must be one of the scammers forced to say that. Sorry the Thai government couldn’t save you
@@DigitalOrchidThailand should at least strengthen border management
There’s no doubt that Thailand is involved in this matter. Electricity comes from Thailand, the internet comes from Thailand, and the people who were deceived into traveling came from Thailand. It’s impossible for Thailand not to know about this. From the clips showing border crossings, it seems very easy-there are no Thai or Myanmar soldiers present at all.
thank you for the informative videos. really like what you shared compared to other ytbers. all is real and helpful
Thank you very much for your information. Hoping more and more people realise how the scam or human trafficking works.
🙏
It’s insane that all this is real. Kudos to you for shedding light on the situation
thanks for your video!
Good job ❤
Also Chinese media, including those in Hong Kong and Taiwan, have downplayed China's involvement in this criminal and only blamed Thailand for the crime.
Thank you for your video. From Thailand.😢
Good Luck Gabi
Very disturbing indeed. @Gabi it seems this cannot be shared… it would help so much 🦋
So strange, I couldn’t find the function to share this video. I wish I could share it with friends and families to raise awareness.
Unfortunately UA-cam restricted and demonetized this video. 😓
Gotta wonder why....
Very well documented, very sad had no idea this is even a thing. I hope and pray someone can help the people and close down the compounds
...Thanks for a great commentary on such an urgent and complicated subject, there are probably a high dark figure of activities that never gets exposed and yet protected the by government, and the more we can spread awareness, the more people will realize the fb/X/tt marketing campaigns are dangerous traps...Stay Strong!🧡
i can't imagine why this is happening
Can’t share this ? Wanted to send to my kids and thanks Gabi you please take care while doing these videos thanks Godbless 🙏
What a ride 😮
Thank you. I am a Thai and I am ahamed and furious of how our land is a gateway to the trafficked people on the other side !!!
Very interested...don t know about that... very sad...
God bless you myriad times
God bless to her for humanity
Your vlogcuemntary is great. Can I help you create a Thai-subtitle ?
This should be everywhere. It's beyond me how is it possible, that only less than 10k people watch this video.
Much respect, really underrated!
😢😢 ตลกร้ายที่คนไทยที่ว่าเก่ง ฉลาด เป็นคนดี ไม่รู้เรื่องนี้
Ditto in Vietnam. I had a Vietnamese friend a year ago tell me he found a job in Cambodia, but that they were going to take his passport away when he got there. I told him I was going to drive over to his apartment and take his passport away from him if he didn't get that crazy idea out of his head. He is now working on an import/export ag business with China. One scam down, a million to go. Thanks for showing this, gabi.
Shit you saved his life. 😢 Sadly he is one out of trafficked manys
Gabi government of these countries know too-should do something .Thank you for posting.❤
Vietnam also have human traffic business. The whole asean. Shit hole countries

I talked to my colleague about this, he couldn't believe it. I don't understand why the UN doesn't do anything.
Why UN don't do this because China back scammer that is answer

How can other countries intervene Myanmar political situation. Especially, the countries in south east Asia that also have their own country problems.
This video should get more attention and need millions & billions of viewers.

Dont tell anyone your personal details over the internet. Not your name, your contact, or address.
what if they pay for my plane ticket, i decide to not meet the driver and go have holiday in bangkok instead?
wahhh you’re risking your life!

first time as said was looking for jobs in Cambodia for foreighners, got a reply, promissed 1,5k and bla bla....but the second the person said they will hold my passport i bailed (obviously)
second time got a random text from a Cambodian number, a girl...said she thought i was Josh (her classmate :D ) that she lost contact with.....exchanged a few texts, and then she gave me a second WhatsApp number explaining the first one was her work number and the second one was her private! - just like they said when the person makes first contact he transfers the scam victim to a dif. department...and again obviously i knew its some dodgey shit so i blocked the numbers, but still......FFS. that's crazy. and very sad governments are not doing anything about this....
OMG. already know where is the place. why do any action taken by authority?
Thanks Gabi. Nobody wants to talk about that stuff and you will get trolled on socials by nationals but yes it is true about countries like Dubai doing that. And thanks for tackling this subject. I can't as I live and work here. If you want to meet a local here in Myanmar I can show you around. I live and work here along with thousands of other international teachers. I also have a small UA-cam channel but I don't upload lately as its hard to work full time and do UA-cam but you can find a lot of real stuff on Myanmar that you can not find if you see a lot of the news and rubbish on UA-cam all from people who don't live here. You will be fine and safe here. Its not like how they show in the news. My friend Niki Proshin a huge UA-camr was here recently and I can hook you up with the truth and all sides of Myanmar. Let me know Liza - oh yeah, forgot to say, lots of Italians in Myanmar and I also speak Italian ;-)
Followed already; interesting content; keep'em up. BTW, where are the UN's and NGO's human's rights?
Thanks for sharing this and raising awareness. You helped me to be more vigilant.
Interpol is not working in that region
Thank you for doing this. Thank you , Michele, for your work. You are very brave to do so. Stay safe, Gabi.
So no retirement package then
Obviously NO clue about Thailand. It's NOT 'Mai Sot'! Just look at every map and read what you see there! 'MAAAAEEEEE SOT'.
greatest achievement of human is their ability to innovate, they innovate for good but the worse part is they can innovate for evil too.
Yes Gabi, you are right. It's very sad and shocking to know that such a large number of people are being human trafficked, exploited and held against their will under the worst conditions unable to flee. Thank to Mechelle and you Gabi trying to help those people. I truly hope that something can be done to end their miserable situation.
ทุกอย่างเริ่มต้นที่ประเทศไทย
These scams aren’t new. Initially they were carried out in their home of China or taiwan( I’ve lived there) but there was the pandemic and operations before or after were generally based in Cambodia. Cambodia shut most of that down hence why this is new in Myanmar. Operations moved to a new spot. Same people same scams

I had no idea about this, hope this goes viral. God bless!
I used to work for a company in Malta that was doing the same thing! I quit but the person in my previous role made over 100k exploiting these people, he was Maltese and he didnt even get a prison sentence! Disgusting
Wow 😳😳thanks for sharing this!
