Fake job racket operates from Myanmar
Actually, this fake job racket operates from Myanmar. (Myanmar) These people call people to different countries of Asia by luring them with good jobs. In this entire process, countries like Thailand and Laos PDR are used as transit points. After reaching these countries, passports are snatched from the people and they are tortured. If the target of any work is not completed, they are beaten up.
This game started after the military coup
Indian Ambassador to Thailand Nagesh Singh said that after the military coup in Myanmar, all these scams are being operated from this land. After the military coup, due to the absence of a government there, many rebel groups are operating in different areas.

Advisory has been issued
He said that the Indian Embassy also issues advisory from time to time for its citizens to not fall prey to these scams. Those citizens who despite this get stuck in other countries are evacuated from there. Amid the current situation in Myanmar, dealing with these fake job scam gangs has become a challenge for all the countries of South East Asia.
