Traffickers often use deceptive recruitment tactics to lure their victims in without them realizing it. Some methods include offering false job opportunities, enticing them with false promises of education or financial benefit, grooming them through befriending and gaining their trust over time, and manipulating naïve victims into doing something they wouldn't usually do. Victims may not realize they are being trafficked until they are under the control of their trafficker and too afraid to escape.

Traffickers might try to lure their victims in with false promises of good jobs or financial stability, often through deceptive online job postings. They might also exploit victims’ vulnerabilities like fear or distress by presenting themselves as helpful friends and relatives offering aid, before revealing their true intentions once they have gained the trust of the victim. Additionally, traffickers might use force, fraud and coercion to trap their victims in exploitative situations. Finally, there are instances where traffickers recruit people under the guise of offering them an attractive role only for the position to require illegal activities.
