Now thanks to the new rules, no Indian will visit Equador. It's easier and probably cheaper to visit North Korea now. Great.. Now thanks to the new rules, no Indian will visit Equador.

That is absolutely false! Ecuadorian citizens need visas to travel to the USA and Canada, so traveling to any of these countries from Ecuador means they need a visa. On the other hand, very few people speak English in Ecuador, so whoever plans to move to this South American country must speak fluent Spanish. Besides, the unemployment rate in Ecuador is high, so finding a job is rather difficult even for the Ecuadorian citizens and it doesn't make sense for someone from a different country to move to Ecuador and expect to find a job easily. Jobs are scarce in Ecuador at this time, and Ecuador is not close to the USA or to Canada. I hope that the international authorities find the people committing human trafficking and send them to jail forever! Nobody deserves to be far from home, in debt and without the job that a dishonest person offered them!

I'm sad to admit it doesn't surprise me that there's human trakkicking in the world we live in but I'm shocked that those despicable people operate with travel blogs as a racket. It's so sad to hear that there's people capable of using a post (a post which only had the intentions to help people with visa burocracy) for a horrible thing like trafficking. I'm glad you're getting media coverage and I hope no one would fall for that fake comments again. Let's all make a better world together. I'm sharing this. What happened is outrageous!

It must have been heart wrenching to see something you wrote so more Indians could travel to be misused like this. We met some similar victims in Bolivia, thankfully they were young, smart and brave; they were on their way to get back on their feet. It is awesome as bloggers when something we write helps someone achieve what they are looking for. But something like this is a dark dangerous side to it. Thank you for sharing this, so the blogger community can be more careful. Hat’s off to you guys, for getting to the bottom of this and trying all you can to reports the wrong doers.

Unbelieveable. I'm so sorry to hear about this. It's so often the way, that people who are just going about their lives get taken advantage of - whether they be bloggers (like you and I), or, at the extreme end, the people who are mere pawns in this scam, like the "Mr T" you described. I hope there is some way to take steps to stop this from happening on the site... but as you say, what can you do, and how would you know? Wow… just wow. Unbelieveable.
