A doctor surnamed Zhang from mainland China was in debt and wanted to work as an interpreter in Singapore, but was tricked into Myanmar to engage in phone fraud and forced to work 18 hours a day. His girlfriend, surnamed Yang, said that at first the scammers asked him to release him if he paid RMB 120,000 (approximately NT$531,000), but the bank account was frozen after the remittance was completed. In this regard, the police in Zhang Nan’s domicile have reported the matter to the Chinese embassy in Myanmar.
Comprehensive land media reports, a netizen revealed that his friend surnamed Zhang was deceived to go to Myanmar on August 16, 2022. It has been a year since then, and he is forced to work 18 hours a day in a closely monitored environment. In this regard, Zhang Nan’s girlfriend surnamed Yang said that Zhang Nan graduated from the Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his family was ordinary but because of debts and his mother was bedridden, one day he learned that he could go to Singapore to work as a translator , Apart from anything else, he decided to apply for the job, but in the end he was tricked into Myanmar to engage in phone fraud.
Ms. Yang pointed out that Zhang’s last text message when he arrived in Myanmar told him that his old mobile phone could not be used, and he could only be contacted secretly through other numbers, and his daily job was to chat with others, and the working hours were quite long. Faced with the above situation, as a girlfriend, she was helpless, and said that at first the scam group asked Zhang to leave after staying for one year, and later asked to pay 120,000 yuan (about NT$531,000) before releasing him. As a result, the bank account was frozen after the remittance, and Zhang Nan was beaten and placed under house arrest.
Zhang Nan’s schoolgirl pointed out that Zhang Nan is friendly, but he is not talkative and wary of others, which may be why he was fooled. Because he was taken care of by Zhang Nan in his studies, he contacted him in July 2022, but he never received a reply. It was not until June this year that he was cheated to go to Myanmar. I was very worried about this and hoped that the relevant units could rescue him as soon as possible. .
The staff member of the Lushan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that Zhang Nan worked in the past mentioned that Zhang Nan, who is already a postdoctoral researcher, mainly studies ancient plants and has excellent English skills. Now that Zhang Nan’s elder brother learned the ins and outs, he chose to call the police, and the police at the police station in his place of residence said that he had reported the matter to the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar.
