The embassy said in a statement that the rescue of a person with the surname Zhong was a joint effort of various parties but did not release details. The embassy did not give the person's full name or reveal their gender.
His sister, who received a suspicious call from him weeks ago when he was in an unidentified location in Myanmar, had reported him missing to police in Guangzhou and Bangkok, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said.
The warning comes as concerns about human trafficking and fraudulent employment schemes targeting Chinese nationals abroad grow.
The latest incident echoes a similar case that caught national interest in January, when a 31-year-old Chinese actor was duped into a film job in Thailand only to be kidnapped and taken to an online scam compound in Myanmar to work. He was eventually freed by Thai police.
The Chinese embassy in Myanmar published a long notice on its WeChat account on Friday addressing the “emergence of new telecommunication network fraud methods”.
