A Russian citizen freed from a scam call center in Myanmar near the border with Thailand has been handed over to Russian diplomatic mission staff in Bangkok for repatriation, the Russian Embassy in Myanmar told TASS.

According to TASS calculations, over the past two years, 24 Russian nationals have fallen victim to online scams in Myanmar after being lured into the country by fraudsters. All were subsequently successfully repatriated with the assistance of Russian diplomats.
