Уникальный заголовок: Почти 700 жертв мошенничества бегут из Мьянмы в Таиланд после военного рейда Translated to English: Nearly 700 scam victims flee from Myanmar to Thailand after military raid

Nearly 700 individuals escaped from the fraudulent KK Park complex in Myanmar following a military operation. They crossed the Moei River and found themselves in Thailand, according to the Bangkok Post.

The information was confirmed by the governor of Thailand’s Tak province. Local military sources report that among the escapees are 618 men and 59 women. The majority are citizens of India and China, with some also hailing from Vietnam, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

KK Park is one of the largest centers where internet scammers deceive people through fake investment and romantic schemes. Such complexes have proliferated along the Myanmar border due to the ongoing civil war in the country.

Thai authorities are providing humanitarian aid to the escapees. They will be screened to determine whether they were victims of human trafficking or crossed the border illegally. Some workers end up in these centers involuntarily, while others voluntarily seek higher wages.

In February, officials attempted to combat the scammers by shutting down cross-border internet access. However, an AFP investigation revealed that the construction of such complexes continued. To access the internet, they began to heavily utilize Starlink satellite internet.

On October 22, SpaceX’s Vice President for Business Operations, Lauren Dreyer, stated that the company disabled around 2,500 terminals following reports of their illegal use.
