Thai woman exposes call centre scam gang, forcing sex services for freedom

[webfact]

A Thai woman filed a complaint against a Thai man who deceived her into working for a scam call centre in Cambodia and forced her into prostitution in exchange for her freedom. Her complaint led to the arrest of the deceptive Thai man and the rescue of two other victims.

 

The 25 year old victim filed a complaint against the 36 year old Thai man Noppadon Dee-in, also known as Mai Gao Yod, on the official Facebook page of the Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau (IDMB) after she was released from the call centre scam gang in Cambodia.

 

The woman revealed that Noppadon approached her on Facebook and offered her a job as an administrator for a gambling website based in Cambodia. She accepted the job offer and travelled to Cambodia with Noppadon. However, the woman was eventually detained and forced to work for a call centre scam gang, led by a Taiwanese man named Liang.

 

The woman refused to work and demanded to return to Thailand. The fraud gang demanded 50,000 baht in exchange for her freedom which she was unable to pay. The gang then forced her to provide sex services at 2,000 baht each time. She said she was repeatedly raped 25 times in exchange for 50,000 baht to buy her freedom.

Police conducted further investigation into Noppadon’s identity and discovered that he was one of the main gang members and had a close relationship with gang leader Liang. Noppadon targeted Thais who had lost their jobs, especially women, and lured them into working for the gang.

It is high time to get really tough on traffickers. I suggest bringing the death penalty back for such crimes, especially for people holding positions of trust like cops, politicians etc.

So she took the money for sex but wanted a raise?

She never got the money, what a utterly stupid comment.

Like to make fun of people being raped and kidnapped, do you.

Hope he gets a good long stretch in jail where he cannot contact anyone for a long time.

What a tragic story I’m sure it happens every day here. The Thai police usually won’t do anything unless you give them money first and then the Cambodian side support country so for sure the cops there are paid it’s just a repeating merry-go-round. Amazing, Thailand, TIT.
