Oh no, Malaysians too, I've heard of many Indians, Nepalese, and also some Filipinos being tricked into these prisonlike apartments where they are forced to work as online scammers. It seems it's usually mainland Chinese mafia organizing these schemes, and it coincides with the loss of revenue from all the Chinese state-owned casinos here.
Just last week all the casinos in Cambodia were closed, so now all these bigshots will be seeking new alternative ways to get back their investment. I fear this online scammer prisons will be even more common in the next few years.
5 years ago the rich urban Chinese were tricking poor uneducated Chinese citizens into coming here, but now they seem to have switched their targeting to different nationalities. There have even been several cases of blood donor slaves being rescued, almost all of them illiterate and uneducated Chinese citizens lured here under false promises, so sad.
