Convict regrets role in telecom fraud

A 24-year-old man from Nanchong, Sichuan province, regrets his impulsive decision to join a company in northern Myanmar on the advice of a friend he met online.

Now behind bars in Nanchong Detention Center, he would have married this year if he hadn't engaged in telecom fraud. He was sentenced to 17 months in prison for telecom fraud and for crossing the national border illegally.
