A single "sorry, wrong number" message can drain half a billion rupiah. Behind it are buildings in Cambodia that divide the scam by floor, according to the target language. Who actually typed that message?
This video traces the online fraud industry chain that sent thousands of Indonesians to scam complexes in Cambodia and Myanmar. From fake job openings in Telegram groups, debt traps and confiscated passports, to a conglomerate with an honorary title and the US Department of Justice's indictment of Chen Zhi. We also unravel the difficult question: are those who return home victims of human trafficking or conscious perpetrators? And how the nearly 9 trillion rupiah loss affects ordinary people at home. Watch until the end to understand the patterns that may be circulating in your own family group.
