So, you know, I was kind of confident before leaving for Cambodia.

We gave up the house, you know, I sold my car.

We thought that we would be there for a couple of years, you know.

So we got on a plane, we flew down to Cambodia.

They told us there would be a pickup at the airport.

And when they picked us up, drove to this place called Bavet, which is about three to four hours drive away.

It's just right at the Vietnam border.

So another reason why we felt that the job was real was because Bavet is a special economic zone for casinos.

But when we got to Bavette, they brought us to a compound which is behind the casinos.

The arches to the compound was about two stories high, barbed wire.

It was heavily guarded, just like a prison, you know.

So they told us before going in, they told us it was just like the staff quarters, you know.

And so we believed them and we walked in just like that.

And when the door closed on us, they brought us to our quarters.

And from there, they told us that the job that you applied for, it was just a lie.

You are now in a scam camp.

And if we want to go home and we want to leave, we have to pay them to the tune of 10,000 US dollars.

Yes, it was quite shocking and we couldn't sleep for about three days, I think.

We tried to take all of it in, you know, watch how other people behave.

I think half of them at least were scammed into the compound.
