Sue-Lin Wong and online scams | Techtonic with Mark Hurst...
2025-04-07 · via Techtonic with Mark Hurst on WFMU

In a new podcast series called “Scam Inc,” Sue-Lin Wong covers the shocking stories of online scam operations as they spread across the world. Organized crime syndicates run “pig-butchering” scams that fool victims into handing over their life savings to scammers’ crypto accounts – costing Americans billions of dollars a year. Sue-Lin explains how these scams work and how we can guard against them.

Show Notes

Scam Inc podcast at the Economist, hosted by Sue-Lin Wong

The vast and sophisticated global enterprise that is Scam Inc (Economist, Feb 6, 2025)

Operation Shamrock: “Operation Shamrock’s mission is to raise awareness of pig butchering with everyone, everywhere, all the time. Our goal is to educate the public, mobilize collective action, and disrupt the operations networks of transnational organized criminals to prevent further harm.”

Beatings, torture and electric shocks: freed scam compound workers allege horrific abuse (The Guardian, Feb 24, 2025): "Lured by the promise of well-paying jobs in Southeast Asia, thousands instead allegedly end up enslaved in jail-like compounds and forced to carry out online scams."

Elon Musk’s Starlink Is Keeping Modern Slavery Compounds Online (Wired, Feb 27, 2025): "A WIRED investigation reveals that criminals who make billions from scam compounds in Myanmar—where tens of thousands of people are enslaved—are using Starlink to get online."

How the world's leading breach expert got phished (Cory Doctorow, Apr 5, 2025): “I’ve been successfully scammed six times in my life. Each time, the scam relied on the confluence of several factors that yielded a fleeting moment of vulnerability that some scammer was able to exploit by being in the right place at the right time. I had to be lucky always, they only had to be lucky once.”

The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger (by Charlotte Cowles in the Cut, Feb 15, 2024): "I never thought I was the kind of person to fall for a scam."
