Mr. Qian Le Ping (Chinese citizen)

I came to Mongla from China on 12 March 2018 from the illegal route after I received a job offer letter, saying that I would be employed in Mongla and the salary would be high.

In Mongla, I had to work at Yong Le Gong online game company of a Chinese man, Xiao Mu, for five years. I arrived at Shwe Kokko via Mongla on 3 December 2023. There I worked at an online computer and game advertising section of Hing Tu Guo Ji company of another Chinaman, Xiao Duo Duo, from noon to midnight every day. I was paid a monthly salary of 7000 Baht for three months. I did not receive any monthly salary for the remaining  months.

Mr. Zhuo Li(Chinese citizen)

My job was to send scam messages from Jin Man Tang, a company owned by a Chinese person, and my working time was 16 hours per day. I worked there for about nine months. I was paid 5000 Baht for the first month, but did not receive any salary for the remaining months.

To get to Shwe Kokko, I first went to Laos from China. From Laos, I traveled to Bangkok, Thailand,by car. With the help of a Thai driver, I went to Maesot from Bangkok. When in Maesot, I crossed a river by a motorized boat, and arrived at Shwe Kokko under the arrangements of a Thai. I started my journey after I received a contact from a Chinese citizen, I know well, through an online message, saying that I would get a job with 10,000 Yuan monthly salary. I was detained on 15 February.

Mr. Xu Yuan Shun (Chinese citizen)

After I got an online contact from a Chinese citizen, I knew well, saying that I would be hired at a monthly salary of 12,000 Yuan per month, I arrived at Bangkok from China by air on 3 May 2024, From Bangkok, I was transported to Maesot by a Chinese driver the next day. I arrived in Maesot. From there I arrived at Shwe Kokko under the arrangement of a Thai. I had to cross a river to reach Shwe Kokko, where I was employed at a company owned by a Chinese person. I had to work for 16 hours a day, and my job was to find more workers for the company through an online scamming process. I received a monthly salary of Baht 2000, and I worked there for about nine months.

Mr. Phimsanduk (Thai citizen)

After I had completed my studies in electronics, I worked at my native town, Lam Phun. At that time, I received an online contact that offered a job with a high salary in Shwe Kokko from a  woman I met on  Facebook. She offered me a job to recruit staff online; and said that the salary would be 30,000 Baht per month. So, I started my journey from Lam Phun in Thailand by a passenger bus on 5 January 2025. On arrival at Maesot, a Thai man drove me to the bank of Thaungyin River. I crossed the river by a mechanized boat and when I reached the other bank a Chinese man took me by car to Hong Chu company in Shwe Kokko. I was arrested while learning computer science to work in the online game sector.
