I think it's time to recognize that this is not some shady, unknown criminal operation. Kidnapping almost 3000 people is on a scale of warfare, and we'll never know how many people have died because of losing all of their money in the scams.

No one in India noticed 2900 people missing?

[u/KaleidoscopeTop5615 → u/rip1980]

They were lured there under false pretenses so everyone who knew them probably just thought they moved abroad and are living their life there. I think people who fall for this kind of scam are unlikely to have a lot of close bonds in their community. Since the victims are from all over the country it is not that noticeable.

somebody noticed.

they made efforts to rescue them

2900 people were rescued.

[u/VoxNihili-13 → u/Little_Material8595]

Noticed cause a few managed to get back.

[u/CharcoalGreyWolf → u/rip1980]

Given that India is the most populous country in the world with 1.4 billion, exceeding China, not impossible. Especially if they were down on their luck and just hoping for a decent job.

Trafficking for any purpose is often like that, sadly.

[u/Gryndyl → u/rip1980]

The US has around 600,000 missing person cases a year.

[u/tarlton → u/Gryndyl]

And those are the people someone noticed missing and opened a case on.

[u/kingseraph0 → u/rip1980]

Those 2900 rescued we're surely noticed missing

[u/sulphra_ → u/rip1980]

Thats like noticing a needle in a haystack

[u/PunkRawkSoldier → u/sulphra_]

[u/Appropriate-Run-2524 → u/rip1980]

Wait, so the stereotype of Indian cyber scammers isn't just racist, but meant to manufacture consent for slavery?

[u/TheBrockAwesome]

Does that mean I will get less scam calls now?

[u/Kiflaam → u/[deleted]]

I think the ones rescued went in those countries in the first place with the hopes of getting a legitimate job.
