Wang Xing, a 31-year-old Chinese actor, found himself in a harrowing situation after being lured to a scam center in Myanmar under false pretenses. Held against his will, Wang was forced to participate in online fraud schemes along with hundreds of others in heavily guarded compounds run by Chinese crime syndicates.
Fortunately, Wang was rescued by Thai police just days after being reported missing in the Thai border town of Mae Sot. His safe return to China has sparked a movement among Chinese families to seek help in locating their missing loved ones believed to be trapped in similar scam centers.
