a modern way of social engineering attacks where basically are exploiting individuals emotions or potentially weaknesses and trying to lose them and making some profit. ok. scam us pray on our trust and often offer money. one of the 1st into those games were poorly with an email from the so called nigeria connection. for example, i receive money in my account which i then transfer in exchange for a reward. of course that isn't any and effectively longer to the money. but in today's world, a i scams out on the rise. using a software like chat, c p t scam us can now translate, scam emails into any language with increasing accuracy, mistake free and tailored to each target group. one popular scam is the so called shock called a scam opposing as a police officer. the mon space for a family member allegedly involved in the crime of accident. but the scam took the

most sinister tongue recently. thanks to a i a such an option diesel um, i mean, cuz i see the game in warehouse some cases in the west when mothers received calls from the doses alleged kidnappers to a lot, the mother would hear her daughter's voice in the background saying, mom, my mom, the hosting mean? and of course, the voice was a i generation, cut it in the someone will have recorded the daughter's voice somewhere else and used a all you to sound like house meet, cut the, these a, these are also, i'm just a snippet of a re, a conversation or voice mail is enough for the a i the takes too, that's a i generated videos of becoming an increasingly attractive plus cameras. microsoft on release day i model boss one, for example, can generate any nations from a single photo from say, an instagram account. do some pushups,

run up and down the stairs. any leg which can be lips inc. professionals with forensic tools may still be able to identify the face, but i meant to us on the other hand, might have difficulty spotting them, especially at 1st glance. the most important thing for scam us is not the technology, but gaining the trust of the victims yet they are. yeah. as a mazda image for tom is very trusting, when someone gives us just a few pieces of information, you might like the name of someone we know me from the shows that information is easily accessible on social media. things i to who i am friends with, who i am in contact with. anyone could go and use the names. we're also not so aware of that. and then we'll just manage cameras. what from west africa, south, east asia or eastern europe and often target the richard global volume. really, people that targeted 1st like children and seniors,

but also people who are lowly tricked by so called roman scam. us taking advantage of financially scamming has long been part of organized crime world wide in south east asia. the entire off is complex is where hundreds of scams work side by side. but in many cases, the people in the so called scam factories, actually victims themselves having been brought there under false pretences. and for us to do for all of us that you and report shows the scale of this more than the form of slavery. credible sources indicate that at least a 120000 people across me and my may be held in situations where they have forced to carry out online scans with estimates in cambodia. similarly, as a $100000.00 of the states in the region, including allow pedia, the philippines and thailand have old site being identified as mine,

countries of destination or transit, where at least tens of thousands of people have been involved and who was forced into scamming of those against as well for months, she spoke to the w about his experiences, his nightmare. begin on a trip to a job interview in bangkok, thailand we were suppose to go to a hotel that is like maybe 10 minutes away from the airport. but we drove in a different direction. 10 minutes turned it to several hours. that's when we realized to be, i know going to bind cold. i was so skid 8 is hours before arrow and then the other victims reach that destination. they across the river more we and, and up at the notorious game factory and known as k. k pock is here with thousands of people will take into force to default others in china,

don't have new customers by noon. and if you don't answer on time, you'll beeping or forced to stand for hours, 17 hour working days, no vacation, no break. this is what several of the victims told, dw report as those who want to leave all threatened with death. well being sold to another factory, one of the methodist k, k park and others can factories force the workers to employees is using crypto scams. convincing people to invest in non existent crypto currencies. nora stories taskbar trying to form a new connections online. ready of so while this guy, he says we have this type of crypto currency. i wanted to learn how to, to come and see what so, and, and this person was so kind. he said, i'm going to teach you tripped up currency such as bid coming up popular as an investment. the risk is high and so uh, the potential profits. but crypto currency is up for you regulated transactions,

difficult to trace which also makes them highly attractive for organized crime. so i chose to this person and you know, i left him teach me. if you invest in the website, you can see your funds there. you can take out the money. this guy must maintain contact with the victims for months, persuading them to invest more as more money and all right, so the website was legitimate. she was convinced she was investing no savings. well, instead of money flowed into a crypto, wanted a kind of digital account and was at the hands of the fraud says i wanted to withdraw a couple of $1000.00 and i couldn't withdraw them. and this person was, was pushing me to invest more money into, into this crypto currency. then the website went offline,

the sky mountain no longer replied and the money was gone. this farmer on 9 fraud is known as peak butchery. the frost of patents, the victim up before taking them to the slaughter house. and you left wondering why is this person doing this to me? laura was looking for like minded people online, but this search ended up costing her a lot of money. scans like that can often involve 5 figures. sam's and be very traumatizing and embarrassing for the effected, then finds it as of victims often don't tell anyone that's so ashamed. in the worst case, those people even take their own lives because they feel so much shame name, but sometimes rented what outside defense, having lost so much money that's from the one. um, it's an incredibly lucrative business for criminals in the us, for example, scam us the monumental $10000000000.00 from private individuals in 2023. and that's

not even including scams against companies. so how can you protect yourself? scam us off and use false identities, posing us bank or postal service employees. if you suspect the scam, it is best to stop by checking the spelling of email addresses for websites. since the real addresses already taken scam us use slight variations to mimic the original. it could be just the highest and whether it was non or a letter from a different alphabet job and roman scam us often create fake profiles, the reverse image. so it's going to help, for instance, with google and some of the invent program. however, this method falls short for the face of fake call us stop the best. so give it to you to how to act. these is all you can do is make up a code word or a question and on. so game must be all you really well. and the answer to this is yes, i have my own meal this morning for example. and not she was question with

a very specific on a so often the part of the about in a guns wisdom to unfold. come was most often used professional methods to manipulate the victims. they rely on flattery, sympathy, or time pressure, tall to make money. then i went to choosing stuff. if you have drawings in the slightest suspicion of then you should end the conversation or chat as quickly as possible at the order of listening. you should not reply to the email man, but also someone else not get involved in a conversation. and i know that is the best counter measure we have the best to get most number do the what about the people who are forced to work and scan factories? foreign investigators feel powerless. mazda legal system is often corrupt arrow and a few others will lucky aid work is on the tie side of the border menace to free them. why they were being transported to a novice scan factory via thailand. but transfers like this really happen and not
