Be extremely cautious of any overseas job offers that promise high pay for modeling, photography, or other creative work—especially in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, or nearby border regions.
Criminal groups frequently use fake job postings to lure talented individuals with promises of lucrative opportunities, only to trap them in forced labor, illegal online fraud operations, or other dangerous situations.
How to Stay Safe
- Independently verify the company, recruiter, and physical location.
- Never send personal documents (passports, IDs, financial details) before confirming legitimacy.
- Research the offer thoroughly—check for online reports, reviews, or news articles about scams in the region.
- Share your plans with trusted friends or family before agreeing to anything.
- Be skeptical of any offer that seems unusually easy, high-paying, or urgent.
Even educated, experienced, and highly skilled professionals have been deceived by these operations. Staying aware and cautious is essential to protecting yourself.
