泰国警方在泰缅边境三处检查站设四语种防骗警告牌，直指对岸缅甸克伦邦诈骗园区
泰国北碧府桑卡布里县（Sangkhlaburi）警方10月25日在泰缅边境三处检查站竖起防骗警告牌，用泰语、中文、日语和越南语向过境旅客提出七个问题，帮助识别自己是否正被犯罪团伙招募或贩运、送往缅甸的诈骗园区。警告牌由桑卡布里警察局局长桑迪·皮塔克萨昆上校（Santi Phitaksakun）下令设置。
警方称，三佛塔山口（Three Pagodas Pass）对岸、缅甸克伦邦贾因塞基县（Kyainseikgyi）帕亚通苏镇（Phaya Tong Su）一带设有诈骗窝点。已有中国和日本公民被以高薪工作为饵骗过边境，抵达后被迫为诈骗网络工作。安保人员此前已协助过多名受骗者，最近一次是两名20岁和21岁的日本大学生，他们以泰国为中转、正被带往邻国。尽管巡逻加强、打击非法越境的措施不断，犯罪网络仍利用夜间把人偷运进缅甸，对岸有车辆接应。
三处设牌地点为桑卡布里县普朗佩（Prang Phle）的崇乌阿（Chong Ua）联合检查站、农鲁（Nong Lu）的兰蒂桥（Rantee Bridge）检查站和南克（Nam Khek）联合安保检查站。牌上的问题包括：你是否知道自己身处泰国边境地区、继续前行可能非法入境他国并面临起诉；是否有人以无需经验、细节不明的高薪工作相邀；是否有人强迫、威胁你，或要求扣押你的护照与财物；旅费、食宿是否由他人支付。警方同时提醒，不要把护照等重要证件交给不可信的人；自感受骗者可拨打桑卡布里警察局电话034-595-300，或191紧急热线。

Thai Police Post Scam Warnings in Four Languages at Myanmar Border Checkpoints
Police in Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi province, Thailand, on October 25 installed warning signs at three checkpoints on the Thai-Myanmar border to help stop foreign travelers being tricked into crossing into Myanmar for scam-center work. Ordered by Sangkhlaburi police chief Pol Col Santi Phitaksakun, the signs are written in Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese, and put seven questions to travelers designed to identify whether they may be being recruited or trafficked by criminal groups.
The move follows reports of scam operations in Phaya Tong Su town, in Myanmar's Kyainseikgyi district, Karen State, opposite the Three Pagodas Pass. Chinese and Japanese nationals have reportedly been offered high-paying jobs and persuaded to cross the border, only to be forced into working for scam networks after arrival. Security officials have previously helped several people deceived in this way, most recently two Japanese university students, aged 20 and 21, who had used Thailand as a transit route before travelling towards a neighbouring country. Despite increased patrols, the networks are said to exploit night-time conditions to take people across into Myanmar, where vehicles are arranged to collect them.
The signs stand at the Chong Ua joint checkpoint in Prang Phle, the Rantee Bridge checkpoint in Nong Lu, and the Nam Khek joint security checkpoint in Nong Lu, all in Sangkhlaburi district. The questions ask, among other things, whether travelers know they are in a Thai border area and that continuing could mean entering another country illegally; whether a high-paying job has been offered without experience requirements or clear details; whether anyone is forcing or threatening them, or asking to hold their passport and belongings; and whether anyone is paying their travel, food or accommodation costs. Police also advise against handing passports or important documents to untrusted people, and give a contact number for the Sangkhlaburi Police Station, 034-595-300, or the 191 emergency hotline.
