Traffickers may use a variety of methods to groom potential victims into forced labor without suspicion. These may include preying on vulnerable populations such as those seeking employment after natural disasters or lacking basic necessities such as adequate housing and healthcare; using deception, such as false promises of legitimate employment; taking advantage of social networks and relationships to gain the trust of their potential victims; using threats or coercion if victims try to leave; and providing initial payment which is only part of what the victim will owe afterward—creating “debt bondage”. Additionally, perpetrators can establish control over victims through threats against their families back home—often traffickers hold fake passports for these individuals with intentionally fabricated travel documents making it difficult for authorities, families, and even victims themselves to identify them or aid in their rescue. Furthermore, some predators maintain communication with prospective victims via text messages or social media where they seek out people under financial hardship who are looking for work. This serves the role of luring victims by appearing legitimate when recruiting new workers while setting an atmosphere that makes it challenging for individuals seeking assistance from law enforcement due to language barriers or fear factor associated with speaking out against their captor. Thus making identifying these crime ring leaders incredibly challenging despite all our interventions today towards targeted human trafficking organizations worldwide.

Traffickers will typically look for vulnerable individuals who may be susceptible to grooming, such as people who are desperate for work, homeless or from a small rural village. Once identified, traffickers could potentially trick someone into working by preying on their desire for a better life and providing fake promises of financial security and good job opportunities. They might offer rides to the job site, provide living quarters, pay the victim up front and withhold their wages until promised work is complete. In some cases they use psychological manipulation like threats of deportation in order to gain control over victims.
