Human Traffickers Change Up Tactics 詐騙伎倆再翻新 誆導演組團隊柬國拍廣告

One director shared his experience on Facebook, saying that he almost fell trap to human trafficking when scammers tried to recruit him and his crew through ig messages for a job in Cambodia where accommodations and airfare will all be included. 

Binger is a director and photographer who takes on freelance work. He previously worked with several famous musicians. He has also become a target of human traffickers. Binger recently received an Instagram DM that was purported to be from a new Chinese brand. It said that its crew got infected with COVID-19 and it was trying to find replacements to do a job in Cambodia, and would cover accommodations and airfare. There was also a sentence that raised Binger's suspicions.

Binger, Director: “Usually, it takes more time to discuss a project. There were also details about the script and filming and budget and schedule that she didn't have. She only asked how many crew members I could take with me, and I thought that was very odd.”

Many people shared their own experiences with fraudsters on Facebook. Illegal organizations use the same tactics and words. They use simplified characters, and their social media accounts seem to be fake. They also offer high salaries and stress that the situation is urgent. They also encourage their target to bring others along. Human traffickers continue coming up with new ways to lure Taiwanese people to Cambodia. They have tried their tactics on directors, magicians, and dancers, hoping to defraud an entire group all at once.

The police from Thailand and Taiwan recently teamed up to rescue nine Taiwanese people tricked into going to Cambodia while they were transiting through a Thai airport and save them from the fate of being sold to Myanmar. One of the nine was an accomplice of a human trafficking ring.

Liu Wei-pi, Chief Judge, Taoyuan District Court: “He worked with locals and introduced others to Cambodia for work. Much of the data in his mobile phone was deleted. His crimes are major. For these reasons, it was considered necessary to detain him.”

The man deleted information on his phone that put him in league with human traffickers after returning to Taiwan. A court agreed to detain him on Aug. 15 due to the severity of his crimes and the possibility of collusion and destruction of evidence.

租下工作室，接案拍攝，導演兼攝影師的Binger，曾經和歌手吳卓源、蛋堡等人合作，如今也成了柬埔寨人口販運的新目標。收到IG私訊，說是中國新創品牌，因為拍攝團隊確診，急著找人配合，地點在柬埔寨金邊，提供住宿和機票，但明明細節還沒喬攏，接下來的這句話，更讓Binger驚覺有詐。

導演Binger表示：「通常我們在對接一個案子的過程都會比較花時間、費時，像是會對一些腳本，還有拍攝的細節、預算、還有時程，但她幾乎通通都沒有，她有問那我可以帶多少的劇組人員去，我就覺得特別奇怪。」

詐騙消息一出，立刻在臉書社團引發討論，許多接案人，紛紛留言，碰過類似情況。而不法集團手法、話術如出一轍，用的是簡體字、社群疑似假帳號、提供優渥待遇，最重要的，會強調很急，並鼓勵帶越多人過去越好，柬埔寨詐騙不斷翻新，這回更把觸角伸向導演、魔術師、舞者等職業，就是要一口氣騙一群人。

這類詐騙頻傳，日前台泰警方攜手，趁著國人過境泰國，救回9名被害人，免於從柬埔寨再被轉賣到緬甸，但這當中卻藏有加害人。

桃園地方法院庭長劉為丕指出：「跟當地的人分工，介紹其他人到柬埔寨去工作，他手機裡的資料，有多筆紀錄被刪除的情況，犯罪嫌疑已經重大，而且有以上羈押原因，認為有羈押必要。」

作為人口販運成員，何姓男子早知道出國做詐欺，就怕身分露餡，回台後，已經刪除手機多筆資料，法院認定涉嫌重大，有勾串滅證之虞，昨日裁定羈押。
