Plot details
Series to explore the dark world of 'pig butchering'
Job Trafficking will delve into the world of "pig butchering," a type of online scam where criminals build fake trust with victims before conning them.
The series will focus on a lesser-known aspect of these scams: young individuals who are lured by fake job offers, trafficked across borders, and then forced to become scammers themselves.
The story will follow three strangers whose lives intersect in a web of fractured trust, deception, and exploitation.
