Nimrat Kaur, Roshan Mathew Star in Job Trafficking Series
Nimrat Kaur and Roshan Mathew team up for the Prime Video survival drama Job Trafficking, which explores online scams and forced participation in cyber fraud.
Mumbai, Aug 3 (IANS) Actress Nimrat Kaur and Roshan Mathew have joined forces for the upcoming streaming series ‘Job Trafficking’. The series is a survival drama, and takes the viewers into the dark heart of industrialized online scams.
The show touches upon the phenomenon of "pig butchering”, where perpetrators spend weeks, sometimes months, building trust and false intimacy with their victims online before draining them of everything. The Prime Video series touches upon the young people behind the keyboards, lured by fake job offers, trafficked across borders, and forced to become the very scammers destroying innocent lives.
In pig butchering fraudsters spend weeks or months building trust with victims before convincing them to invest in fake cryptocurrency or trading platforms. The term comes from the idea of “fattening up” the target with affection, friendship or fabricated investment success before stealing their money. Scammers present themselves as successful professionals. Once victims invest larger sums, they are unable to withdraw funds because the platforms are fraudulent. Authorities worldwide have linked many pig butchering operations to organised crime networks and cyber-enabled fraud.
