"Safeer Mohammed Koorimannil, who was trafficked into scamming." Yeah, sure. APNews seems to imply that this individual isn't aware or is almost innocent despite being a criminal who scam people, disappointing to read.
I've met a few people in SE Asia that works in scam callcenters (quite common in Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines) of some sort and all of them are aware of what they are doing, they are not being "trafficked", they literally decide to take this opportunity because it often pays well and employees are quite often not risking much because of this whole "trafficking non-sense" where we feel as if they are just victims, it's like a Russian hooker going to Thailand knowing exactly what she will be doing and calling that being trafficked, it's misleading and just wrong.
The word trafficking should be reserved for real cases, there is sadly a lot of it, but what this article describe is not it, it's so disrespectful to the actual victims of trafficking.
