 Traffickers use a variety of tricks to lure their victims, including offers of employment or fraudulent legitimate businesses, promises of false documents or fake passports, ransom notes demanding payment in order to avoid discovery or kidnapping, threats and physical coercion. Traffickers may also pose as law enforcement officers or members of the military in order to gain trust and compliance from their victims. In some cases, traffickers will groom vulnerable individuals over social media platforms before eventually meeting up and transporting them for exploitation. Additionally, traffickers will sometimes target vulnerable populations such as refugees or minorities who may not be aware of their own rights and available assistance. Finally, trafficking networks often rely on illegal methods like bribery to secure the complicity of governmental officials in order to aid with their criminal activities.

In sum, traffickers are sophisticated in their approach to deceiving victims and authorities; as such it is important to remain alert and informed against these malicious actors.
