There’s a scam epidemic spreading across our region, not just in the form of spam calls and lost savings, but in human lives: trafficked, tortured, and forced into crime. The Human Trace is a podcast about the urgent issues shaping our world and the human stories we can’t afford to ignore. From trafficking and exploitation to mental health, identity, corruption, faith, and survival — these are conversations from the margins, the frontlines, and the quiet spaces where change begins.
Global Alms Incorporated CEO Mechelle B.J. Moore is co-hosting a few episodes alongside Helen Avadiar-Nimbalker, host of The Human Trace and Director of Asia Freedom Network. This podcast is produced by Asia Freedom Network.
Listen now:
Ep. #1 - "Episode Series: The Scam Epidemic — What We’re Not Seeing"
Scam centers are flooding headlines — but what’s really going on behind the screens?
In this first episode of The Human Trace, Helen Avadiar-Nimbalker is joined by co-host Mechelle B. J. Moore and special guest BC Tan to unpack the hidden realities behind scam centers: forced criminality, trafficking, torture, and the growing underground economy built on human suffering.
This conversation explores the deeper layers — from recruitment tactics and political complicity, to what happens when survivors return home. It’s raw. It’s urgent. And it’s just the beginning. Because some conversations can’t wait.
Ep. #3 - “Beyond the Scam: Inside the Networks of Forced Criminality”
What if behind some of the world’s most common online scams were victims—not perpetrators?
In this powerful episode, Helen Avadiar-Nimbalker is joined by co-host Mechelle B.J. Moore and special guest Erin West, founder of Operation Shamrock. We go beyond the headlines and dive deep into the hidden world of forced criminality—where individuals are trafficked, coerced, and trapped into running scams they didn’t choose.
This conversation sheds light on the global networks exploiting vulnerable people and challenges the way we think about fraud, criminal justice, and human trafficking.
It’s an urgent, eye-opening listen for anyone in:
• Human rights & humanitarian work
• Cybersecurity & digital ethics
• Policy, law enforcement, and global affairs
• Or simply those who want to better understand the unseen sides of the internet
Listen now:
Let’s elevate the conversation and advocate for change.
