Introduction: The Luring Trap of False Employment
Scams and fraudulent schemes are evolving, taking hostage not only victims but also their perpetrators, coerced into criminal activities under duress. One man’s testimony offers a chilling insight into the dark and dangerous world of scam operations. Robiin, a 42-year-old Indonesian survivor, recounts his harrowing 18-month ordeal in a scam center known as KK Park, located in Myanmar. His journey, like many others deceived by fake job postings, began with false hope and led him into a nightmare of physical and psychological abuse.
