It is noteworthy that the methods and tricks of these subjects are very sophisticated and increasingly complex. Instead of approaching victims directly as before, these subjects now take advantage of social networks to approach victims and offer many attractive “traps” such as: luring them to do light work with high salaries; setting up closed groups to adopt children, surrogate mothers; sending women abroad to get married…

According to the initial investigation results, in early 2024, the two arrested subjects went to Cambodia to work for Chinese-owned companies. The company owners raised the issue of finding Vietnamese people to bring to Cambodia to work.
Every day, the two subjects go online to lure and scam Vietnamese people to go to Cambodia to do “easy work with high salaries”. After bringing the workers there, the company will pay for travel expenses and other expenses up to 300 USD. When the workers arrive in Cambodia, they sign a 6-month work contract and meet the targets, the company will pay an additional referral fee of 500 USD.
In addition, the two subjects also received 5% of the total income that the victims earned. Although they knew that the working conditions of workers in companies managed by Chinese people were very harsh, they were confined and beaten when they did not meet the requirements of the job. However, these two subjects still contacted Vietnam, created a scenario of “easy work, high salary” to bring the 4 victims to Cambodia.
According to Tay Ninh Provincial Police, in order to effectively combat human trafficking crimes, the unit has advised the Provincial People’s Committee to direct the Police and Border Guard forces to launch a peak campaign to attack and suppress human trafficking crimes. Departments, branches, unions, People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities, according to their assigned functions and tasks, coordinate to deploy solutions to prevent and combat human trafficking crimes.

The Criminal Police Department of Tay Ninh Province Police has also proactively coordinated with the Provincial Border Guard and Cambodian authorities to arrest and prosecute 2 cases and 10 subjects for human trafficking and fraud in cyberspace. Of these, 2 leading subjects recruited Vietnamese people to Cambodia to sell to fraudulent Chinese companies for criminal activities.
