Electric shocks, beatings, threats with guns...... Dreaming back at midnight, Wang, who has returned from northern Myanmar, still has palpitations.
In April 2020, Wang, a "post-90s" guy in Xichong County, Sichuan, was lured to engage in telecom fraud in northern Myanmar. In the past three years, he claimed that he had been sold to five "companies", and had tried to cut his wrists and harm himself in order to go out to seek medical treatment and find an opportunity to escape, but the "company" only bandaged him briefly and ignored it......
Wang said that in October 2023, taking advantage of the decrease in the number of caretakers in the "company", he and more than a dozen people made an appointment to escape together, and in the end, only he and two other people successfully escaped. In the end, with the help of the police in his hometown of Xichong, he successfully returned to China. A few days ago, Wang told the police about his nightmare experience in northern Myanmar, and also warned everyone not to be lured by high salaries, not to smuggle abroad, "It has never been paradise!"
Wang recounts his nightmare experience in northern Myanmar
Sneaking:
Tempted by the high salary of his fellow countryman, he went to northern Myanmar and was caught in a wire fraud syndicate
Wang said that in April 2020, he made an appointment with his fellow countryman "Brother Huang", whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the other party invited him to go to northern Myanmar together, saying that it was easy to make money there, and the monthly salary was tens of thousands.
Faced with the temptation of a high salary, Wang, who had nothing to do at the time, was quite moved and readily agreed. Soon, under the leadership of "Brother Huang", he took a plane to Kunming. After arriving there, Wang learned that in addition to himself, there were 5 fellow Xichong fellows.
The next day, a driver picked up several people and arrived in Meng Lien County, Pu'er City, on the border with Myanmar's Shan State. Under the cover of night, the group climbed the hill, crossed the mountains and mountains, and trekked for nine hours, and several people smuggled to Bang Kham, Myanmar.
Wang was then taken to a local wire fraud group. "'Brother Huang' told me to give me a day to familiarize myself with the script first, and then I will go to work the next day. Wang said that when he realized that this was a typical "pig killing plate" fraud, he began to refuse, but "Brother Huang" changed his upright and generous image in the past, and threatened him, "You can't help it! You have to do it, you have to do it, you still have to do it! If you do it well, you have money to get, and if you don't do it well, you may die!"
Miss:
The mild was intimidated and the worst was electric shock, and he once cut his wrists and mutilated himself to escape
Out of fear, Wang began to live at the mercy of others and began to try to deceive his compatriots in China.
Wang said that the content of the work is very simple, according to the routine in the script, to create a handsome and successful man character, to trick female victims into having a good impression of him, and then use investment as a guise to defraud money.
"Here, I was beaten and scolded at every turn, from intimidation to electric shock. Wang said that he was "not good at learning and art", and his "performance" was very unsatisfactory, and he only received two salaries before and after, once 5,000 yuan and once 3,500 yuan.
The scars left by cutting his wrists when Wang tried to escape
Wang said that he was sold like a livestock in the local area, and that he had been sold five "companies" in three years, and that he had been trying to escape, but he was surrounded by guards with guns. He once tried to hurt himself by cutting his wrists, and wanted to escape by going out to seek medical treatment, "When they saw me bleeding, they didn't move at all, and simply bandaged my wrists, smeared a little iodine, and ignored them." He also saw a middle-aged woman jumping from the second floor......
Go home:
Taking advantage of the reduction in guards, he successfully escaped, and the hometown police helped him return to China
In October 2023, Wang found that there were fewer people who usually guarded them with guns, so he and more than a dozen people escaped together, but at that time, only he and two other people managed to escape, and the others were arrested again.
After escaping from the wire fraud group, Wang, who was penniless, began to wander and live by picking up garbage. He said: "I used the mobile phone I brought with me when I escaped to get in touch with a Chongqing netizen through an Alipay account, and out of sympathy, he transferred 100 yuan to Alipay. With this little money, I struggled to support myself. This netizen reminded me that I could get in touch with the domestic police through Weibo. ”
On December 7, through the Weibo of the Xichong Public Security, Wang got in touch with Officer Zhang Zhiwei of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Xichong County Public Security Bureau. "Officer Zhang personally transferred my living expenses and provided me with identification to assist me in immigration procedures. I'm really grateful to Officer Chang for giving me a new lease on life, otherwise I don't know if I would have died in northern Myanmar. Wang said that when he saw the word "China" on the border, he was so excited that he wanted to cry, and after 3 years, he finally came back.
He said that he would like to use his own personal experience to warn everyone: Don't be deceived by the temptation of high salaries, and don't smuggle people abroad!
On December 22, Red Star News learned from the Xichong police that the case is still under further investigation because Wang is suspected of participating in telecommunications network fraud.
