Industrial-Scale Scamming Compounds and the Network of Outsourcing Recruitment Systems in the Labor Supply Chain

Virtual Event

This webinar delves into the rapidly evolving landscape of outsourcing recruitment systems and human trafficking within the labor supply chain, highlighting the recent cases of scamming operations in Southeast Asian countries, including Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, and Taiwan. These illicit activities suggest pervasive corruption among senior officials and involve transnational recruitment networks linking local businesspeople with organized crime. The stark reality of violence and labor exploitation represents a disturbing trend. The session aims to explore how advancements in cyber connectivity and data mining operations have facilitated new methods of human trafficking and severe forms of forced labor, and to consider the extent to which these illegal activities are conducted within legally ambiguous zones.
