Victim exposes Golden Triangle cyber scam targeting US NRIs with fake profiles, crypto fraud. Learn how he escaped and filed a complaint in India.

Rahmat Khan, a victim of a cyber gang operating in the Golden Triangle, filed a complaint with the TGCSB after being deceived and exploited by a fraud scheme. The scheme involved luring targets, primarily Indians in the US, using fake social media profiles of attractive women, engaging them in sexual chats, and then promoting fraudulent cryptocurrency investments. The targets were directed to invest in a Chinese-run fraudulent website.

Rahmat, recruited through a travel agent named Ashiqi Baba, was sent to Laos, where he was trained for 15 days in cyber fraud tactics. After arriving in the Golden Triangle, his passport and phone were confiscated, and he was forced to deceive people to meet financial targets. Failing to meet these targets led to torture and non-payment for three months.

Eventually, Rahmat managed to escape with the help of locals, reached the Laos embassy, and then returned to India with the help of the Indian embassy. He has filed a complaint against Ashiqi Baba for fraud, and an investigation is ongoing.
