$1000/day, no qualifications, no details is more likely a scam than human trafficking. Maybe porn or something illegal.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 62 points 9 months ago

It absolutely could be a simple scam, porn, or human trafficking. Maybe all three.

[-] ElleChaise@kbin.social 16 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I've seen this sort of thing before: first they reel 'em in smooth like with door-to-door vacuum cleaner sales, get 'em hooked on only fans, then BAM, they're selling their ass on Pico for $50 a pop.

It's when you keep eating stuff that's not food.

[-] KIM_JONG@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Are people really making 1k/day in porn?

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

I would imagine it isn’t unrealistic, and possibly on the lower end, and that there are considerable risks? If they aren’t, they’re underpaid?

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

but who's paying for porn anymore? Where are they getting money to pay actors?

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Dunno, but they’re still making it, and considerable risks are involved, so I’d imagine those actors not trafficked are getting paid?

[-] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 16 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I'm thinking some sort of sketch ass MLM.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

The only way I see it as a possible human trafficking is that this is the method to find people in desperate situations with low street intelligence and very little support network. I don't think human trafficking especially the way it is reported on news and social media etc isn't as widespread as it seems or happens the way they warn.

Scam is most likely, imo.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 43 points 9 months ago

Wonder if they're interested in a 50-something obese white guy. I could use the money.

[-] Especially_the_lies@startrek.website 23 points 9 months ago

Do me a favor. Im about 10 years younger than you, but same physical stature. If they take you, drop me a message to let me know, please!

[-] Jackie_meaiii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 9 months ago

Could be prostitution, yeah. The only thing you can really do is file a police report. Or vigilante justice

[-] whileloop@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago
