Bangkok, Thailand (DT) ā The Embassy of India in Bangkok has issued an urgent advisory regarding the trafficking of Indian nationals to scam centers located in countries bordering Thailand. These centers are engaged in cybercrime and other fraudulent activities, where victims are forced to work under harsh and inhumane conditions.
Reports indicate that Indian nationals are being lured with fake job offers from non-existent companies in Thailand. Once in Thailand, they are illegally trafficked across land borders to neighboring countries where they are exploited. Both online and offline recruitment through social media platforms and agents have been reported, targeting individuals from various Indian states and overseas.
The Embassy reminds Indian nationals that the current visa-free entry to Thailand is strictly for tourism purposes and does not permit employment. Individuals considering job offers in Thailand are urged to thoroughly verify the legitimacy of recruiters and companies, and ensure they have the appropriate visa for employment.
The Embassy assures it will continue to provide necessary support in repatriating rescued victims. However, victims and their families are cautioned against engaging with unauthorized agents or making any payments during the repatriation process.
