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

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 59 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] ElleChaise@kbin.social 15 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 16 points 1 year ago

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

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year 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.

It sounds sketch AF

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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 29 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

Or vigilante justice
