Excellent series! This really changed my perspective on who might be on the other end of that call or text message.

Absolutely fascinating and well produced! Great interviews with victims of human trafficking and gives insight into a major scammer network based in Asia from a complicated participant. Some scammers were actually scammed into scamming us!

Fascinating listen. It's helpful to learn about these complicated situations. I just wish the podcast had any long-term targets or used the platform to support victims etc
Description
You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.
