Man lured to Cambodia for work abandoned by scam syndicate<\/h2>\n

A 51-year-old man from Sichuan, China, was lured into a scam syndicate in Cambodia only to be nearly resold to another compound because he could not type.<\/p>\n

Authorities would later find him abandoned and stranded without documents in the country.<\/p>\n

He was believed to have been in Cambodia for more than 20 days since mid-November.<\/p>\n

Lured overseas by false job opportunity<\/h3>\n

The man, known as Zhang Quan’an (name transliterated from Chinese), travelled from Sichuan to Laos in search of a higher-paying job.<\/p>\n

His friend had invited him to the foreign country with the promise of a role in construction work.<\/p>\n

Zhang later realised he had been deceived when he was taken across the border into Cambodia.<\/p>\n

He recounted travelling through Yunnan, Laos, and finally to a scam compound in Cambodia.<\/p>\n

Abandoned during police inspection<\/h3>\n

When he arrived at the compound, Zhang discovered that he was expected to work in telecom fraud.<\/p>\n

However, in an unexpected twist, the boss would soon find out that his newest “employee” was not proficient on the keyboard.<\/p>\n

As a result, they prepared to resell him to another compound.<\/p>\n

While being transported for the transfer, the vehicle encountered a police checkpoint.<\/p>\n

Fearing arrest, the scammers reportedly pushed Zhang out of the car and let him flee on foot.<\/p>\n

Zhang said he continued walking towards the Chinese Embassy in Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n

He eventually came across a guesthouse and used their phone to seek help.<\/p>\n

Chinese authorities have contacted Zhang and are providing him with support.<\/p>\n
