‘Each of us has a soulmate in the scam world’: Inside India’s empire of fraud

#scams #interview Hardly a morning passes without news of someone losing their life savings to a scam. This pervasive crisis is the focus of Snigdha Poonam’s latest book, Scam Lands: Inside the Asian Empire of Fraud That Preys on the World. In a compelling interview with Newslaundry’s Manisha Pande, Snigdha shares her personal encounters with fraudsters and uncovers the systematic nature of a “parallel economy” that now operates at “the level of an empire”. Snigdha offers a chilling theory: scams are deeply personal, tailored to individual vulnerabilities. “For each of us, there is a soulmate in the scam world," she explains. "It’s a soulmate that you don’t want to meet, but sooner or later, they will find you.” She also notes that in an unequal society where ambition far outpaces opportunity, fraud has become a survival strategy. Ultimately, Manisha remarks that the rise of this industry reflects a “failure of the Indian state” – a sentiment Snigdha echoes, warning that we have built a society where “deception has become a way of life.” Watch.
