Play the video to learn about how trafficking can happen over the internet.
FBI investigations show that human traffickers may pose as legitimate job recruiters, employment agencies, or agents for modeling companies. They pretend to offer opportunities for a better life and provide fake employment opportunities. They misrepresent their true intentions when talking to victims.
Traffickers target vulnerable individuals by preying on their personal situations, such as their financial hardships, their struggles with low self-esteem, or their family problems.
