> They are falsely promised for "entrepreneurial opportunities"

From what I heard, which I cannot verify, it's more sinister then that. People take completely normal-sounding jobs in normal-looking and functioning offices. After several months of being paid normally for normal work, they're invited to a team-building event in SE Asia. There, they lose their passports, are interned in huge camps and are press-ganged into being scammers, and tortured or killed if they refuse.

This isn't your usual "can't cheat an honest man" tale where you sucker in greedy rubes with a promised free lunch.
