21-Year-Old Liaoning Woman Lured to Myanmar Scam Park, Allegedly Resold to Cambodia

On December 17, 2024, 21-year-old Wang Yangyang from Shenyang, Liaoning, departed from Shanghai via Hong Kong to Bangkok, Thailand, and then disappeared completely. The young woman from a single-parent family allegedly fell into a "pig-butchering" scam and was transferred to the Victory Zone (Hengsheng Phase 3) in Myawaddy, Myanmar. On August 31, 2025, she briefly contacted her mother saying she was "being released and preparing to return to China," before being transferred to the Thailand-Myanmar border. She is now allegedly resold to Cambodia, with no news since. Wang Yangyang, born in 2003, was a student. Before her departure, she mentioned to friends that she had met a "wealthy, handsome" man with good conditions. Bangkok airport surveillance footage showed her walking with a stranger, suggesting she had been lure by a scammer posing as a "high-value" romantic partner. After being missing for months, Wang Yangyang contacted her mother via Xiaohongshu, revealing she had been kidnapped and detained, forced to participate in telecommunications fraud at the Victory Zone in Myawaddy. In August 2025, after actors like Wang Xing and model Yang Zeqi were rescued from the same park, Yang Zeqi confirmed seeing Wang Yangyang there, confirming her location. However, the park denied her existence when rescue efforts began. The August 31 incident marked a turning point. Wang Yangyang used a male peer's phone to contact her mother, but was quickly moved again. She was separated from the male peer at the border and allegedly resold to Cambodia. Her mother, Ms. Wang, has filed a police report in Shenyang and is seeking help from volunteer rescue teams. She plans to take out a loan to fund rescue efforts. The case highlights the challenges of cross-border rescue operations and the urgent need for international law enforcement cooperation to combat such criminal networks.
