Parents of two youths allegedly being held captive by a Cambodian online scam syndicate are pleading with the authorities to rescue their children.
The two Malaysian men, aged 18 and 24, had been duped into going to Cambodia by phoney job offers as telemarketers. Now, they are being held captive and forced to scam people over the internet, the parents claim.
One of the parents, who only wished to be known as Madam Wong, said her son had called several months ago to tell her that he was in Cambodia.
