An IT specialist from Russia ended up in slavery in Myanmar — the guy fell for a tempting offer, but ended up working for food and scamming his compatriots over the phone.
Details of the incredible story:
• Vadim receives a tempting offer from a Chinese businessman. However, when his bosses reject the option of remote work, he packs his things and goes to Myanmar.
• On the spot, his documents are taken away and he is forced to work 20 hours a day. His "work" boiled down to telephone fraud.
• Vadim worked for six months exclusively for food, facing threats of violence and hunger if he dared to refuse.
• During his captivity, he became friends with his colleagues. Together they rebelled, escaped and were able to get to Thailand.
Vadim is now in Bangkok, waiting to be sent home.
