TL;DR: Китайская1 преступная группировка наняла индуса2 якобы для работы в IT в Тайланде3, перетащила его через границу в Мьянму4, откуда тот, изображая живущую в Солт-Лейк-Сити5 русскую6 женщину, разводил на деньги американцев7, британцев, бразильцев и мексиканцев.

...] It is in one of these compounds that Indian national Rakesh, 33, worked for 11 months as a scammer stealing thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims like CY.
In December 2022 Rakesh, who asked CNN not to use his full name to protect his family’s privacy, landed in Bangkok, Thailand, where he thought he was due to start a new job in IT. After spending a night in a hotel in Mae Sot, a second driver picked him up. A short drive later they crossed a river and arrived at a gated compound guarded by armed soldiers, he said. Without realizing it, Rakesh had been trafficked into Myanmar, to a compound named Gate 25.
His managers set him up with a fake persona and taught him how to scam. Posing as Salt Lake City investor “Klara Semonov”, Rakesh spent 16-hour days chatting with potential victims as a beautiful blonde, earning their trust and building a relationship. “Seventy to eighty percent fall for fake love,” Rakesh told CNN. His job was to make contact and get the victim hooked, working through the night to target Americans, Brits, Brazilians and Mexicans during their waking hours. Once they were ready to invest, they were handed up the chain to a manager or team leader who would secure the investment.
