[Reporter Xu Guozhen/Taichung Report] Cases of Chinese people being tricked into Cambodia and other countries to restrict personal freedom are emerging one after another. In order to prevent human trafficking, the police in Taichung City have vigorously implemented the "Snake Killing Action". So far, 20 human snake groups have been cracked down and 36 people have been arrested. After investigation, in addition to about 30 victims abroad, 7 people were also rescued in China. The age group was 21 to 30 years old. The suspects and victims who are still abroad will continue to be tracked down. We also call on this age group to be careful when applying for jobs cautious.

The police investigation found that the transnational smugglers and smugglers all adopted "one-stop service". Members of the overseas group advertised "high salary" and "hotel service" on social software such as Facebook and IG, calling for unspecified women to go to Cambodia to serve as hotel escorts work, or use excuses such as "entertaining tourism", "no experience, free wealth, high salary, turning over" to lure the victim out of the country.

The members of the group in Taiwan are responsible for transporting the victim to apply for passports, air tickets, forged small yellow cards, etc., and send them to daily rented suites and hotels for centralized accommodation until the day of departure, and then the driver will take the victim to Taoyuan Airport for departure. On the grounds of applying for a visa, forcibly confiscated the passport and asked to sign a work contract, confiscated the mobile phone and detained it privately, in order to force the victim to engage in "prostitution and accompanying wine" and "fake investment and telecommunications fraud". Detention and abuse are used to control the victim and extort cryptocurrency ransom from family members in Taiwan.

Since August, the Taichung City Police Department has integrated 15 sub-bureaus and related units within its jurisdiction to form a task force to carry out the "Snake Killing Action". So far, 20 cases of domestic recruitment syndicate members have been seized and 36 people have been investigated. Hotels, lodgings and rental buildings have also been thoroughly investigated. In other places, 7 victims were successfully rescued recently and were detained in the head account case. Since some suspects and victims are still abroad, we will continue to expand the investigation through channels to completely eliminate the human-snake syndicate.

According to the analysis of the Municipal Police Department, the age group of the victims who went abroad was 21 to 30 years old, followed by 31 to 40 years old. The places of departure were Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and other places. , Going abroad to work and play, the Human Snake Group grasped the mentality of young people and continued to post, promote and broadcast on social dating software, etc., resulting in the "transnational piggy" incident.

Director Cai Cangbai once again appealed to those who apply for jobs in the workplace to be cautious and conduct multiple investigations to avoid falling into job hunting traps.

Recruitment information such as "experience-free", "high salary and easy money", "food and lodging included", "air ticket free" and other recruitment information on the Internet are all keywords commonly used by recruitment groups, and the methods are constantly changing and refurbished, reminding the public of false information The message should be vigilant, do not go there to avoid being deceived, if you have any doubts, you can call the 165 anti-fraud consultation hotline for consultation.

The police monitored the daily rented suites and grasped the identities of the members of the human-snake group.
