There are job scams, then there job scams. The government in Myanmar is currently battling at least 3 civil wars with ethnic separatists, some of whom have created mini-statelets, who finance their efforts by ‘recruiting’ job seekers and training them to send scam texts. Many levels to think about here: (real) fake jobs, human trafficking, volume outbound and the collapse of state authority.
An incredible listen. H/T to brainfooder
Bas van de Haterd for the share.
