On July 24, Mr. T. was taken to Laos by another woman, then illegally entered Myanmar.

Upon arriving in Myanmar, Mr. T. was held in a building with many other Vietnamese people. They were forced to create fake game accounts to scam other people's money.

Mr. T. did not agree, so the user locked him up, beat him, and starved him for many days.

After that, Mr. T. escaped and contacted his family to report to Bac Lieu police.

The police force coordinated to rescue Mr. T. and brought him to Bac Lieu province on September 7.
