Laura Beal: 我在播客《Scam Factory》中揭露了一个残酷的现实:一个庞大的犯罪集团强迫受害者进行网络诈骗。受害者被骗到国外,在严密看守的场所中,被迫每天进行诈骗活动,否则将面临生命危险。这个犯罪集团利用信任,将受害者变成犯罪工具,让他们在逃离与参与诈骗之间做出艰难抉择。这个故事通过一个家庭试图解救被困兄弟的经历,展现了隐藏在那些可疑信息背后的黑暗真相。 Jella: 我被骗到一个诈骗工厂,在那里被迫进行诈骗活动。环境恶劣,如同监狱一般,我们每天工作时间很长,住在简陋的宿舍里。起初,我被分配到一个团队,负责色情诈骗,但我的业绩很差。后来,我被调到其他团队,负责销售假冒商品,仍然没有成功。现在,我的工资与业绩挂钩,如果达不到指标,不仅没有食物,还会受到体罚,例如被强迫做‘鸭子步’。更可怕的是,我们即将被转移到另一个臭名昭著的诈骗工厂,那里据说会用电棍殴打不达标的员工。我非常害怕,我恨透了这个地方,也恨骗我来这里的Charlie,我必须想办法逃出去,否则我可能会死在这里。 Laura Beal: This podcast explores the dark underbelly of online scams, revealing how victims are lured into a nightmare scenario where they are forced to participate in criminal activities against their will.

You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off.

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.
