Some young people in Bangladesh want to work abroad, so they look for opportunities on social media platforms and in chat groups.
Scammers post advertisements for high-paying jobs, claiming they can quickly arrange visas and using fake stories to prove that the jobs are reliable.
Job seekers pay large fees to middlemen, but after arriving in Cambodia, their passports are taken away and the jobs they were promised do not exist.
They are held in closed facilities and forced to carry out online scams involving romance, investment, and other schemes.
If they refuse to work, they may be threatened, beaten, or sold to other criminal groups.
The scammers may also contact the victims' families and demand money for their release.
Many families have already spent all their savings and find it difficult to rescue their loved ones.
Even if victims return home, they often carry heavy debts and find it hard to report the crime because they lack contracts and payment records.
When looking for work abroad, first check whether the recruitment agency is legal, read the contract carefully, keep proof of payment, and confirm job and visa information with reliable authorities. Do not rely only on online advertisements and the promises of middlemen.
