Andhra Pradesh Youth Trapped in Cambodian Cybercrime Scheme
Some people in India were tricked by criminals into taking fake jobs.
These criminals promised good-paying data entry jobs overseas, but they were actually sending the people to places like Cambodia to do illegal things.
The criminals used social media to find people who needed work and promised them high salaries.
Once the people arrived, they were forced to help scam other people.
The police caught some of the criminals, but others are still on the run.
Now, the criminals are using people they have already tricked to find new victims.
Visakhapatnam police arrested two individuals involved in an international cybercrime network.
The suspects lured unemployed youth with promises of high-paying data entry jobs abroad.
Victims were trafficked to Chinese-operated cyber fraud companies in Southeast Asia.
Chinese organizations are now using previously trapped Indians to recruit new victims.
Investigations began after two Visakhapatnam youth returned from Cambodia and filed complaints.
