Recently, Mr. Zhang, a post-95 generation in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, signed up for a seven-day tour of a Southeast Asian country online because he was greedy for cheapness, but he fell into a trap of electric fraud. He was sold to three different companies and eventually returned home after three years of suffering.
Mr. Zhang originally planned to spend more than 7,000 yuan to travel to a certain country in Southeast Asia, but he saw a **4,500 yuan travel agency on the Internet and felt that it was very cost-effective. So he didn't hesitate to choose this travel agency and paid the fee as requested.
However, when he arrived at his destination, he was picked up by a van and taken to a closed park. His belongings, such as his mobile phone, ID card and passport, were confiscated and he was forced to work as a gambling fraudster. He was subjected to electric shocks, beatings and intimidation, and was unable to extricate himself.
After being persecuted for more than a year, Mr. Zhang finally contacted his family and paid a ransom of more than 1 million yuan. However, instead of being released, he was sent to a second company. The same experience played out again, and he was once again forced to work in telecom fraud.
After being persecuted for more than two years, Mr. Zhang was finally rescued and returned to China after the efforts of the local **, the immigration bureau and the embassy. However, his family spent millions of dollars to save him.
This story is very shocking and heartbreaking. Mr. Zhang originally planned to spend more than 7,000 yuan to travel abroad, but because of greed, he was finally deceived into three different companies, and after three years of painful time, his family spent millions to rescue him back to China.
This story also reminds us that when choosing a travel product, we must choose a regular travel agency, and don't be greedy for small gains. At the same time, we must also be vigilant and guard against the traps of online tourism consumption.
