In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, some illegal elements in northern Myanmar have spread negative ideologies such as money supremacy, hedonism, and armed violence to China through platforms such as short videos and online games. They have used the names of going out to work and make money to lure young people into illegally crossing to northern Myanmar, leading to a series of flower season "tragedies". In handling relevant cases, the People's Procuratorate of Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province discovered various forms of black hands reaching out to teenagers.

Weaving Dreams of Burmese North with the Story of Wealth

Ah Bin has many fans, and I have watched some of his videos. His home is full of luxury cars, as well as big villas and lawns. "Xiao Hao accidentally met a man named" Ah Bin "while surfing the internet. Through the internet cable, the other person described him as a fake Myanmar North where" money is everywhere and every day is advancing ".

Simple Xiaohao believed it true, and under the guidance of "A Bin", he also met some "users" from northern Myanmar through short video platforms. Unlike official warning propaganda, in the videos posted by these users, the houses in northern Myanmar are magnificent, the beauties in Myanmar are passionate, and the stories in Myanmar are dreamy and mysterious

The carefully woven dreams of illegal elements in northern Myanmar made Xiao Hao lose himself. With the dream of becoming rich overnight, he secretly crossed to Myanmar with several friends. Several young people with an average age of less than 20 years old fled all the way to their "gold mining holy land" in their hearts, but everything in front of them stunned them.

The empty and dilapidated rough buildings, the ferocious armed security guards... The so-called "job" that Xiao Hao and his team received was to engage in online "pig killing" scams. They finally realized that they were trapped in an electronic fraud gang.

The story of Xiao Hao is not an exception. In recent years, relevant departments have continuously carried out online and offline warning propaganda to expose the true face of northern Myanmar. However, there are still some illegal elements relying on the Internet to flaunt the luxurious houses, sports cars, beautiful women, etc. in northern Myanmar through short videos, creating the illusion of overnight wealth, packaging northern Myanmar as a paradise for "wealth, love, and double harvest".

Teenagers have limited social experience and lack discernment skills. If they are immersed in such an online environment for a long time and become curious or even yearning for the 'gold rush' story in northern Myanmar, it is easy to distort their values and fall into the trap of illegal elements in northern Myanmar, "said Cao Li, a prosecutor at the Xiangcheng District Procuratorate.

Using online games to bring relationships closer

At the beginning, Xiao Hao met 'Ah Bin' in the game. I heard that 'Ah Bin' was very generous and cared about Xiao Hao very much. Over time, Xiao Hao became more and more convinced of him. When he heard that he could make a lot of money, he went without any doubt and even asked us to go together. "Xiao Fan and Xiao Hao illegally crossed to Myanmar. Although he had been returning home for a long time, he still had lingering fears when he remembered his experiences at that time.

The online games that teenagers love have become another "breakthrough" beyond short videos due to their social functions such as private chat with friends, public chat rooms, and forums. Illegal elements will use a large amount of "krypton" in the game to shape the image of "wealthy" and "big shots", attracting the attention of teenagers.

Most of these teenagers leave school early and work and wander alone outside, without healthy relationships with classmates or teachers. They are lonely and confused, pouring their hopes for life into the game. Suddenly, a wealthy and enthusiastic "big shot" appears, willing to make money with themselves. Naturally, they are very moved, and even develop a sense of dependence.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping, these fraud dens are mostly guarded by security guards, and if you want to leave, you need the approval of a "superior". Under such high pressure, many young people who have been scammed into Myanmar can only be timid every day, and at an age when they should have laughed in the sunshine, they are locked up in remote fraud dens in Myanmar, engaged in hidden cyberfraud crimes.

Using acquaintances and classmates to 'accurately set'

Xiao Fang and I were friends and used to play and play games together. Later, Xiao Fang suddenly went to work in Southeast Asia and said he wanted to recruit a team and asked if I wanted to join. Xiao Yun was also one of the members of a scam gang in northern Myanmar, and he initially refused his friend Xiao Fang's invitation. But under Xiao Fang's difficulties, he chose to trust his friends. Not long after, Xiao Yun dropped out of school and followed Xiao Fang to the China Myanmar border. He thought he was going to work in Yunnan until he crossed the border and realized that he had been taken to Myanmar.

Later on, I chatted with the people around me and found that everyone had similar experiences. Some were deceived by classmates, while others were brought over by fellow villagers. I don't understand. How could such a good friend become like this? "Xiao Yun said.

In fact, the values of teenagers are not yet fixed. Once they are deceived into criminal groups such as the Myanmar North Electric Fraud Group, under the "words and deeds" of illegal elements, they are easily distorted in their values. They not only actively integrate into criminal groups, but also change their mindset and turn their focus to China, encouraging and deceiving former friends to go abroad together.

Compared to the advice of teachers and parents, teenagers are often more willing to believe the words of their peers, especially those who have known each other for a long time, as well as classmates and fellow villagers, and pay attention to the so-called 'brotherly loyalty'. Therefore, once similar cases occur, in-depth investigation of the underlying reasons will reveal that these teenagers are often one by one, and they are gradually deceived into Myanmar, falling into a trap. "Prosecutor Cao Li analyzed.

There are many traps for the "gold rush in northern Myanmar". Cao Li reminds that it is necessary to strengthen the ability to distinguish and guard against the "gold rush" traps in northern Myanmar. It is necessary to be vigilant against the complex information materials on the internet, strangers who ask for warmth and comfort through internet cables in games, and so-called "friends" who advocate and shout under the banner of "going to Myanmar to make money", and to be wary of the traps in northern Myanmar.
