A woman was reportedly tricked into travelling to Thailand for a fake modelling job before being forced to work as a slave and killed so her organs could be harvested on the black market.
Vera Kravtsova, 26, originally from Belarus, flew to Bangkok to secure what she believed would be a modelling job, but was taken across the border to Myanmar by a brutal gang.
Typically, such victims have their passports and mobiles confiscated – and they are threatened with organ harvesting or forced prostitution if they fail to scam money from online victims.
Chinese gangs and the Burmese militia run the sinister call centre factories in a lawless border zone, where abducted workers are subject to torture and extortion.
As many as 100,000 slaves may be held in these places, it is estimated.
‘Instead of shoots and contracts, [Vera] was taken across the border to Myanmar, where she was made a captive of a scam centre,’ reported Mash news outlet.
‘The only requirements for her ‘job’ were to be beautiful and extort money from wealthy clients,’ it added.
‘When she stopped making money, contact with her was lost.’

Vera’s family was informed she was dead and that they would have to pay half a million dollars to get back her body, it is alleged.
Later they were told: ‘We cremated her.’
Russian online media outlet SHOT reported: ‘Beautiful women flirt with men on dating sites, offering them to invest in something.
‘The money is then transferred to the scammers.
‘Vera went silent in early October.
‘A little later, unknown individuals contacted her family, informing them that she had been sold for her organs and her body had been cremated.’
Vera had a university degree and had moved from Belarus capital Minsk to St Petersburg in Russia.
She had earlier travelled to Vietnam, China, and Indonesia, but allegedly vanished after arriving in Bangkok and being trafficked to Myanmar.
The woman had not been seen online since 12 September.
‘She flew to Bangkok for a job interview, but instead of working on the runway, she was taken to Myanmar and turned into a slave,’ reported Mash news outlet.
‘Her duties included being beautiful, serving her ‘masters’, and scamming rich people.’
Dashinima Ochirnimayeva, 24, from Chita in Siberia, was also recruited as a model and was ‘slated for sale for her organs’
The sinister centres in Myanmar are seen as being backed by the country’s authorisation military junta.
Another woman named Dashinima Ochirnimayeva, 24, from Chita in Siberia, was also recruited as a model and was ‘slated for sale for her organs’.
But she was successfully released from the hellhole by Russian diplomats.
She had accepted the ‘modelling job’ unknown to her parents who are taking part in Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.
She was then illegally smuggled across the border to Myanmar.
Back in Thailand after her rescue, she said only: ‘I would like to thank the Russian foreign ministry for rescuing me and sending me home.’
Her aunt told RIA Novosti: ‘She was very frightened, but she’s doing well now.
‘She’ll be home soon.’
One account said: ‘Upon arrival in Thailand, the Chita woman was taken to a special camp on the Myanmar border.
‘There, people become slaves and serve their ‘masters’.
‘They are forced to engage in fraud.
‘Young, beautiful women are recruited as ‘models’ to swindle people out of money with their faces and bodies, while the rest are trained in texts and extorting cash.’
Mash news outlet in Russian said: ‘Those who disobey are whipped and threatened with being sold for their organs.’
A source said the camp is home to many people from the former Soviet Union, especially Russians, but also Chinese and Southeast Asians.
‘Slavs and Europeans are favoured—the centre’s owners use them to scam videos.
‘But the Asians are unlucky—they can’t return home due to debts and criminal cases, so they’re beaten and paid in food for their work.’
The 24-year-old was successfully released from the hellhole by Russian diplomats
The Russian Ambassador to Thailand, Yevgeny Tomikhin, was personally involved in the successful attempt to free Dashinima.
He said the woman had been ‘deceived into traveling from Thailand to Myanmar in early September for alleged forced labour in the notorious call centres.
‘Initially, our compatriot was promised a modelling job in Thailand—she received the offer through an unknown Telegram channel and decided to go.’
Some of these scam centres are like ‘mini cities’ with restaurants, shops, spa and massage salons – but the workers cannot escape.
