About this listen

Scams are no longer run by individuals. Instead, the bulk of scams now come from a network of high-security compounds in SE Asia, where an estimated 400,000 people live in slavery and are forced to run scams 24/7. In this multi-part video podcast, we'll dive into the terrifying world of 'scammer farms'. We'll meet people who've been trapped and escaped — and others who are desperately trying to rein in this exploding new business model.

    We start our story with Small Q, a young Ugandan rapper and singer who thought he was traveling to Thailand for a dream job. However, everything changed the moment he stepped off the plane. In this episode, we follow Q's abduction to illustrate how nearly half a million people have been sold into slavery to run scams.

    We start this episode with another story of abduction. Cataleya is a Filipino mother who was sold into slavery by a friend. We then compare Cataleya and Small Q's stories of how they ran scams. It's a fascinating look at the way scamming has been scaled for mass production.
