<p>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.</p><br><p>This is a <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-it-was-like/id1614354774" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What It Was Like</a> Special</p><p>Produced by Superreal</p><p>Hosted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/julianmorgans/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Julian Morgans</a></p><p>Find us on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@whatitwaslikepodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@whatitwaslikepodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
