About this listen
In this episode of Stolen, Erin West shares an update she never expected to give.
Months ago, Erin was in regular contact with a young man from Uganda who had been trafficked into a scam compound in Cambodia. Beaten, confined, and forced to scam victims around the world, he disappeared in late September—leading Erin to fear the worst.
Then, a WhatsApp message arrived.
This episode unpacks what happened next—and why his “release” from the compound is not the happy ending it might sound like. Erin pulls back the curtain on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Cambodia right now: thousands of trafficking victims suddenly pushed onto the streets with no money, no valid documents, no clear path home, and constant fear of arrest.
This is the other side of the scamdemic—the side we don’t talk about enough. The human cost. The broken systems. And the hard truth that shutting down scam compounds without a plan doesn’t equal freedom.
A raw, urgent update from the front lines of a crisis that is far from over.
