In today’s episode, we have Snigdha Poonam, journalist and author of Scamlands, exposing the hidden economy of scams.
We discuss who scams more, how scam companies operate, and what happened when one tried to recruit her. She breaks down India’s fake dating app networks, China-linked scam empires, and how Indian money flows overseas. The conversation covers document black markets, life insurance fraud, hospital involvement, and why scammers often see themselves as startup founders.
We also explore pig butchering scams, why young people join scam jobs, whether guilt exists inside these offices, and the uncomfortable truth about victims. Snigdha reveals the geography of fraud in India and stories like the Helicopter Brothers. This episode uncovers the systems, psychology, and incentives behind modern financial crime.
