BANGKOK - 14 JAN - Chinese families are seeking urgent help after relatives went missing in Thailand, suspected of falling prey to human trafficking through fraudulent job offers. One couple, Sun Maoxing and Wang Weiju, traveled to Bangkok in search of their son, who had sent suspicious money requests. Another case involves Wang Yaxin, who suspects his cousin fell victim to a loan scam. Both families have made public pleas outside the Chinese embassy.

These incidents highlight a growing trend of individuals being lured to Thailand under false pretenses and trafficked to neighboring countries. The Chinese and Thai governments, along with Hong Kong authorities, are collaborating to combat these scams and locate missing persons. Citizens have been urged to verify job offers and travel arrangements to avoid exploitation.
