BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s embassy in Myanmar on Friday urged Chinese nationals to be vigilant against telecom and online fraud after multiple reports of citizens being lured to Myanmar’s border town of Myawaddy by online scams promoting “high-paying overseas jobs.”
The embassy warned citizens against falling victim to scams that could endanger their safety and property.
The statement follows a high-profile case involving a Chinese actor who went missing last week after traveling to Thailand. The actor was later found in Myanmar and is believed to have been a victim of human trafficking.
