A female college student from Guangdong was lured to Thailand for the Songkran festival and is suspected of being sold to a telecom fraud park where a ransom of 30,000 U-dollars is demanded.

CoinFeed reported on April 23 that, according to China News Weekly, a 19-year-old female college student from Guangdong went missing on April 10 after attending the Songkran Festival in Thailand. Upon arrival, she was allegedly taken captive by a stranger and transported to the Three Pagodas area on the Thai-Myanmar border, where she is suspected of being sold to a telecom fraud operation in Myanmar. On April 13, her family received a call from a man claiming to be a "buyer," offering 29,000 USDT for her and demanding a ransom of 30,000 USDT (approximately 200,000 RMB). After the family paid, the man repeatedly delayed her release, citing reasons such as "the operation only allows entry, not exit." Police opened an investigation on April 15, and the education department has intervened. Currently, the man claims he can release her but has not provided a specific location, and negotiations are ongoing.
