Thank you everyone who helped me learn as much as I could about #pigbutcheringscams and fraud-linked #humantrafficking, which have combined into a unique global threat that demands global attention. I’ll do my part by writing “The Big Trace” – a forthcoming book from @littlebrown

Southeast Asia has become a hotspot for the notorious "scam farms" - large industrial complexes that hold people against their will & force them to scam others online using a variety of tactics. These scam farms aren’t new, but they are growing & regular citizens from all walks of life are their targets.
