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

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 61 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ElleChaise@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Are people really making 1k/day in porn?

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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 15 points 2 years ago

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

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years 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.

It's good that you came to a shitposting Lemmy community to solve this mystery. We'll take it from here, thank you for your service, citizen.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 42 points 2 years ago

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

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

[–] Jackie_meaiii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] whileloop@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or vigilante justice
