Season 4, Episode 3: Cleaning house in Cambodia and China

from On the Fringe · host Dave and Gavin

Hey all!We are going back to a topic that we’ve followed since the beginning of On the Fringe—scam farms in Southeast Asia. Some of our first episodes covered these scam farms and organized crime in the region, including the wild tales of Alice Guo, former mayor of Banban in the Philppines.These bad guys are using the latest technology, modern-day slavery, and cunning tactics to get you, the average citizen, to lose trust in society as well as your life savings.Despite the recent crackdown (and Dave and Gavin’s reasoning as to specifically why RIGHT now), we think the problem will get worse. Learn how and why by listening to this episode—and share it with your loved ones, especially if they use social media or are not tech-savvy. If you’ve ever caught them in their sneaky traps, share your story and shoot us an email!
