Yeah, forced into scamming.

And then we interviewed a girl called Angel who was raped repeatedly by her bosses, and she's sort of the face model.

So a lot of times after speaking to these what they think are romantic relationships for a long time, they want to see people's faces.

So this is the girl that then they put a fake AI face on top of her, but it has to be a girl because of the mannerisms and the voice.

And they have this girl who actually speaks English.

And she would talk to victims of scams and pretend that she was the wonderful woman that they'd been dating for months.

And convince them to put their money into this crypto business that was fake.

And take millions out of these victims.

So this woman starts crying and telling me how she knows she's doing something awful and how she's raped and how she doesn't want to be doing.

And at the end she says, I just want your – I said yes to doing this even though it's incredibly dangerous.

But I accepted doing this because I just want a message for the victims in America, the people that I've spoken to, that I'm sorry.

I just want to apologize for all the harm that I've caused.

And she's like in tears, but I have no way out.

I mean, these are heart-wrenching, heart-wrenching stories.

And the last day we were there, we were able to – there's this amazing organization called Acts of Mercy, religious-based organization that is working to try to get these people out.

And a lot of these bosses actually – you can pay for ransom.

You can pay $10,000 to save a person from there.

Because if you're a bad scammer, if you're there and you're horrible and you're –

sad and depressed and you're not doing your job, it's better for these bosses if you just get paid $10,000 to let this person go.

So there was this case of this Filipino woman who the boss had agreed to a $12,000 payment to release her.
