Modern slavery: Human traffickers target naive, unaware, or desperate individuals and offer them higher paying jobs overseas. Then they are kidnapped and forced to become scammers. — TNS
If you talk to those involved, you will hear and sometimes see stories of torture, prolonged imprisonment, and modern slavery. Human traffickers target naive, unaware, or desperate individuals and offer them higher paying jobs overseas. Often times, the victims think they are going to get jobs in places like Dubai, Singapore or Thailand. Once they finally pack up and cross our borders, their fates essentially become entirely in the hands of the traffickers, who have little trouble moving them around as they wish.
It is the perfect base of operations for criminal organisations involved in scamming that can almost guarantee huge financial income, and need only a place to operate without being hassled by authorities. They are taught the basics of scamming operations, and given quotas to meet. If you’ve ever gotten a strange call in the middle of the day from someone claiming to be from a big bank or the income tax department, there’s a good chance the human on the other side of the line was calling from a place like KK Gardens.
Obviously, that is a less than practical solution. Efforts to bring home such Malaysians have been ongoing for years, with varying degrees of success. It is probably true that not every single Malaysian abroad involved in these criminal activities is someone that has been kidnapped. There has been talk that some of the highest ranking individuals in the criminal organisations are themselves Malaysian, as are some of the people recruiting victims in Malaysia.
