first I saw of it in french
and in english

A total of 1,090 people were rescued who had been recruited to run online scams.

Their passport confiscated upon arrival and made to work up to 18 hours days scamming (fake romance and cryptocurrencies) over the internet after being lured by some dodgy adverts.
probably just a tip of the iceberg thing as well :/

There have been quite a few stories about Chinese nationals being lured to Cambodia and being forced to be phone scammers. Apparently a lot of money had been poured in to resorts on the coast, and when Covid happened and tourism dried up, some of them turned to other means.

It is an unusual story because common is stories of Philipino women being held in servitude in other countries, like Arabic countries.
