Inside India’s Scam Economy, From Dating Scams to Chinese Networks

Today I am joined by Snigdha Poonam, journalist and author. Her latest book is Scamlands, and she earlier wrote the award winning Dreamers in 2018, which explored how young Indians are reshaping their world. We discuss the rise of the scam industry across states such as Jharkhand, Assam, and Tamil Nadu, and examine how this parallel economy overlaps with the formal financial system. The conversation also looks at cross border operations in places like China and Cambodia, and the links that connect them back to India.
