Once trafficked into these scam compounds, they were held captive and forced to defraud people. Many were told to entice victims online with fraudulent investment opportunities, the promise of interest-free loans or the chance to buy items on fake e-commerce apps. If they performed badly, they were sold to another scam mill. Those caught trying to escape were often beaten. --------- The scammer at a minimum needs to look like they're making progress and doing everything they can to scam you. Their life depends on it. There's no joy to be found anywhere here. Its all crap. Just don't interact with the scam groups at all.
