Hi, this is Laura Beal, and I want to thank you again for listening to Exposed. Throughout the series,

we explore how people in positions of power can exploit trust and manipulate systems meant to

protect us. Dr. Haddon's victims thought they were safe in the hands of a prestigious institution,

only to discover a horrifying truth. Today, I want to tell you about another

Wondry series that examines a different kind of exploitation, one that might be closer to home

than you think. Imagine helping your brother land a dream job abroad. Company seems legit,

and the opportunity looks perfect. But when he arrives, he discovers he's been lured into

a nightmare. Inside heavily guarded compounds, thousands of people are held at gunpoint and

forced to scam others or face deadly consequences. Scam factory reveals a multi-billion-dollar

criminal empire operating in plain sight where victims become

unwilling perpetrators. Through one family's harrowing fight to save their brother, this series

exposes the dark reality behind those suspicious messages that you get in your inbox. Like

exposed, scam factory pulls back the curtain on a system of abuse and exploitation.

But in this story, the only way out is to become part of the scheme that trapped you.

I haven't heard a story like this ever. I'm about to play a clip from Scam Factory where one character,

Jella, learns horrifying news while she's trapped

inside the Scam Factory. And while you're listening, follow Scam Factory on the Wondry app or

wherever you get your podcasts.

Jella kept her eye on the clock,

counting down the minutes until 1 a.m.

And the end of her shift.

She couldn't wait to get to bed.
