An advertisement describes an unusual service that might catch your eye.
It promises “Pure European real-life models” available for hire. Surprisingly, their services aren’t for photo shoots but something more sinister. These real-life models offer a suite of services tailor-made for deception: video calls, voice calls, identity verification, and even in-person meetings.
Beautiful scammers are recruited and then put to work to help romance and pig-butchering scammers carry out their big cons against victims. Gone are the days when a victim would never meet their catfish face-to-face.
These new, beautiful scammers are more than willing to take the scam to a new level of realism.

Its Gone Full Circle – From Virtual To AI, To Real Life
Through trial and error, and perhaps because so many people are educated about scammers’ tactics, scammers have shifted their tactics to make their scams appear more realistic. And nothing is more realistic than meeting someone in person.
While the world has been focused on deepfakes and the use of AI to fool victims, hiring beautiful scammers to carry out the scam in real life is a surprise. These scammers can do it far better than a deepfake.
Imagine how effective it is for a scammer to have a beautiful model go to dinner with a victim rather than do some glitchy, cheap fake video call.
All Part Of A Disturbing Trend Of Willing Attractive Scam Workers
Much has been reported on how human slaves are trafficked to Southeast Asia, put to work in scam centers, and tortured if they don’t meet their daily quota. However, not everyone working with those scammers is there against their will. Many men and women are actively seeking jobs, with scammers lured in by the money they can make.
She’s Willing To Work As Call Center Model
The China-Cambodia HR Talent Reserve Telegram Channel is an exciting place to visit. It is a video and image message board for men and women interested in working for casinos and scam operations in Cambodia.
The applicants are good-looking, young, and willing to work for Casinos and Pig Butchering Scam compounds. However, they don’t want to work “inside” the operations, which I take to mean they want to enter and leave freely, working on their terms.
Here’s a typical job-seeking post on the channel. A young woman is seeking an AI or call center model job. She showcases her skills through various pictures and videos and highlights her multilingual abilities. Currently based in Phnom Penh, she aspires to transition to an AI Model role.
She Has Experience Doing Audio Calls
Here is another advertisement for a girl named Alona from Ukraine. She worked this year for four months, explaining to “clients” how to invest in crypto and use fake apps that show the investments growing.
She worked as an audio model, meaning they used her voice and possibly cloned it for use in Pig Butchering scams. Often, models on the channel will indicate if they want to use their faces in the scams or if they want to be audio models.
She Has Experience Working As A “Killer”
Maramy has experience working as a “Killer.” I don’t think that means she is an actual killer; instead, she probably has experience successfully scamming men and women and getting money.
“Killer” could also mean that she is successful at the final butchering of scam victims by giving them enough confidence that they plow their life savings into the crypto-scam.
She also works as an AI Model.
He Is Looking For A Job While He Travels
And it’s not just limited to beautiful women; men are actively getting into scamming as well.
Here is a young guy. He is from Ukraine and speaks four languages but has traveled for some time. In a video he posted, he advises that he is willing to work while traveling the world.
He just happens to be in Cambodia at the moment, but he figures that working in a scam compound could help him make enough to pay for his trip.
Forget teaching English overseas; the lucrative international job is scamming.
I guess in the high-stakes world of romance and pig-butchering scams, there will be no shortage of people willing to cash in on the money train.
And that spells really bad news for our future.
