TAK: During a border guard function on Monday morning, Thai authorities rescued 39 foreign nationals who had claimed to be survivors of a call center gang.

When they discovered the immigrants near a town, officers from several units, including the Naresuan Task Force and border police officers, were patrolling a Thai-Myanmar border region in Mae Sot city.

Of them, 32 were from Sri Lanka, five came from Nepal, and there was one each from Malaysia and Russia. Id papers were present for each. During a hunt, no improper things were discovered on them.

They claimed they had been duped into entering Thailand from Myawaddy, the border city in Myanmar opposite Tak Mae Sot, to operate on a project there. &nbsp,

Call center groups operate in the area, which is known as the “working bottom.”

They claimed they were made to work for a call center group that they alleged were Chinese. They made it across the Moei River to the Thai part before escaping.

After some food and drink, Thai officials said that all the immigrants who were found appeared relieved when they were discovered and recalled the tale of their leave.

According to the authorities, the party was escorted to the municipal immigration officers company where they will be returned home under the National Referral Mechanism after their individual diplomats have been contacted, according to the authorities.
