Nanny nearly falls prey to human trafficking syndicate

A woman from Selangor nearly became a victim of a human trafficking syndicate after accepting an RM2,000 offer to be a travel nanny to a couple claiming to be diplomats.

The 41-year-old woman, who goes by the name Huda, said in early October, the couple contacted her through WhatsApp, claiming that they were working at a foreign embassy in Bangkok and came across the advertisement she posted on Facebook promoting her services.

“The couple then made a video call to enquire about the services. They offered a substantial salary for four days of service and a flight ticket to Bangkok.
