A new crackdown on online scam centers has led to over 7,000 people world-wide being held in a Myanmar border town awaiting repatriation, and those helping them said the un-precedented number is straining the resources of Thailand and leading to delays.

Eighty-four Indonesians have returned home after being freed from scam centers in Myanmar. Part of a wider crackdown involving Thailand, Myanmar, and China, thousands have been rescued. Repatriation efforts for over 360 Indonesians continue as authorities work to combat global scams exploiting vulnerable workers.
