The Love Factory: Inside the Global Expansion of Digital Slavery

That perfect stranger who "gets you" might be typing from a cage.

Behind every romance scam is a larger question: What happens when love becomes labour? When human connection gets industrialised by people who have no choice but to destroy strangers' lives to survive their own?

This episode follows the breadcrumbs from your dating app to a concrete compound, from a cryptocurrency wallet to a rescue operation more complex than a bank heist.

We expose the targeting psychology that makes certain people more vulnerable, reveal why the real victims aren't who you expect, and discover how this industry is spreading from Southeast Asian compounds to African "technology parks" to Pacific island "resorts" with new franchise efficiency.

The $75 billion question isn't just how to protect yourself—it's whether we can recognise the humanity trapped inside the machine before it's too late.

Your next "good morning beautiful" might be someone's only hope for rescue. The only question is: will you see it?
