Myanmar scam: A victim's story

Bbc World Service
About this episode

We hear from a Sri Lankan woman who was trafficked and forced to conduct illegal online activity, including cyber fraud against vulnerable victims.

Aneka Boram is one of thousands of people who've recently escaped from so-called scam centres. She talks about her captivity and describes the harsh punishments and conditions she was forced to work in.

The scam centres are offices inside Myanmar or Cambodia, where people have been forced to work scamming internet users from around the world.
