With my ability to speak Mandarin and English, she assured me I could get a better pay than an average Indonesian worker,\u201d Miracle said.<\/p>\n<p>The offer was an online marketing position with a monthly salary of US$ 1,000. It was a huge salary for Miracle. With the job, her dream of saving money and opening a small business would come true soon.<\/p>\n<p>Her old friend, a broker, told Miracle that by working eight hours a day, she would get meals four times a day with free accommodation. Moreover, the agent would pay for the airplane ticket and visa. Equipped with all the offered facilities, Miracle never thought it would be the beginning of a miserable experience in Cambodia.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<section  id=\"block_0dd70a126e29853eb883b82984413fc9\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n      <div class=\"col-xl-6 col-lg-7 col-md-9 col-sm-10 col-12\">\n        <div class=\"story_brave_content\">\n                    <div class=\"story_content\">\n            <p><strong>Forced to create fake social media profile to scam people<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we arrived at Cambodia, the employers withheld our passports and phones. Since then, we have never left that place. We ate, slept, and worked at the same compound building,\u201d Miracle recalled the events.<\/p>\n<p>Miracle realized it was not a standard marketing job since she had to create a fake profile on social media to scam people. \u201cI had to introduce myself and pretend that I was rich. I brainwashed innocent people until they trusted me. After I\u2019ve done my part, some real female models would conduct video calls with the targets to gain their trust and invite them to invest in cryptocurrency,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the targets were wealthy people between 45 to 90 years old from Europe or Asia. Every day, Miracle was forced to scam three people. If she failed, she would receive physical punishment like forced push-ups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worked more than eight hours a day. I usually start my day early and return to my dorm late at night. If I miss one target, I\u2019ll be forced to do 50 times push-ups. If two missed targets, 100 times push-ups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to long working hours and physical punishment, Miracle never received the promised salary. Miracle wanted to escape from the unfair and harsh treatment.\u00a0 However, whoever wanted to go home would need to pay around $US 2,880 , which was impossible for most workers.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n        <div class=\"col-xl-6 col-lg-7 col-md-9 col-sm-10 col-12 text-center\">\n                      <h3 class=\"mb-5 pb-2\">\u201cOne of the terrifying scenes I encountered was when the supervisor electrocuted one of my colleagues who made a mistake.

Her brother and his wife requested help from an UN agency, who then referred them to IJM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;One day, I spoke to an IJM staff over the phone. I sent a picture of a window in my room with my jacket in it to mark my location. It seemed impossible but I prayed to God that they would find me.
