Princeton police arrest 4 in human trafficking scheme; more arrests expected 

Saved by the bed bugs. Glad that pest control company took care of things and didn't turn a blind eye.

Such things are happening all over the USA. This could be eliminated if companies spent resources for background checks on potential employees instead of outsourcing it to a contractor .

This operation looks like an at-home scammer's call center....

Running an Indian call center in the US 🤣 The audacity of these guys!

As an Indian, I'd say this could just be the surface. There's a massive operation underneath. Find that "consultancy" that hired them, jammed them all up in one place & giving them work. (electronics, computers found means Employment scam for tech skilled victims) Go through financial & payroll records of that consultancy. Find how many of those victims documents were forged/faked to get here. Find who sweetened their own pockets, to give that consultancy the projects. You'll find the source of corruption.. it could very well end up being one of your congressmen/woman. The victims are usually folks with dreams to fight their financial battles back home, and get lured here promising jobs & they probably don't understand how bad this gets until they get here. These consultancies even withhold 3-6 months of their pay, so that they keep working in those conditions without leaving. Catching individuals will not help. Nail the consultancies.

Guy said he can’t believe something like that is happening in 2024?!? You been living under a dam rock .

That's the secret. If you suspect something, call the city and claim the house has bed bugs

Trafficking/>> due to NOT JUST SEX, 1. RICH PEOPLES CHEAP LABOUR Laundry, Dishes, Dusting, baby sitting, Gardening, sweeping etc.

Glad that the pest control employee spoke up and called police. Too many people just ignore major signs that something horrible is going on.

The names suggest they are from AP/Telangana in India.

Deport

They flooded Canada and now they're flooding the U.S looooool.

obviously a call center scam sherlock

This practice, commonly known as bodyshopping, has been prevalent for over three decades. Anyone in the IT industry from India is familiar with it, and there are millions of bodyshopping firms operating at various capacities across the US. These firms often describe themselves as consulting companies, placement agencies, resourcing companies, staffing companies, and so on. They profit by taking 20 to 30% of their consultant's salary from every paycheck for as long as the consultant works for them. There is often no respect, verbal abuse, delayed salary payments, limited or no benefits, unpaid overtime, no paid vacation, sub-standard treatment, and the list goes on. These bodyshoppers often require their consultants to apply for green cards through the company, effectively locking them in for 10 to 15 years, during which the company makes substantial profits. Sad state of affairs!

Some evil arrogant people have the nerve to do this 😮

Poor hygiene brought the whole operation down.

I’m sure companies are hiring them. There was a similar case out of St Louis where a man was held against his will in a basement working for free and basically a slave. They would beat him to force him to work. The companies who are hiring these individuals should be held accountable.

The reason you see tech coding jobs shrinking. This gotta be a IT job scam

This is the reason USCIS has a tight regulation for visas to Indian nationals, and it's a disadvantage to some of us who are genuine, legal skilled immigrants.

Thanks the US embassy and Immigration Department with out you guys America would never had these people.

Government needs to investigate who gave them these opportunities, even apparent management should be investigated, enough is enough

Employment scams.....

The owners of property need to be investigated too they are criminals too

It's a scam call center.

Definitely scamming

Absolutely disgusting!!

Deport ASAP

Shame! Criminals. It is one of many incidents. There are many crimes like this; the government should investigate illegal activities. People are exploiting loopholes by starting new companies and employing Indian students in IT jobs with fake experience. With the majority working from home, one person often performs multiple jobs, effectively taking away opportunities from others. Illegal IT consultants who engage in criminal behavior should be arrested, and the government should take necessary actions.

Who lets all this nonsense in?

The new family should be concerned about those bed bugs. Bed bugs dont play.

Deport!!

All these are from a state called Andhra Pradesh in India

Let's hope that these four were not able to bail themselves out of jail.

Pest control got em!

Kudos to the pest control company for taking steps to report this situation and be taken seriously by police. Good work by all.

That’s great the person called the police to investigate

So wait, my car's extended warranty wasn't legit?? Lol

Forced labor is ingrained in Indian Hindu culture and traditions. Not forgetting the recent case of human trafficking by the billionaire Hinduja family. Hindus have been exploiting their own poor lower caste citizens since centuries! No one has forgotten how high caste Hindus treated the untouchable Dalits/Harijan.

Definitely a call center

How do you rent a house without credit checks and background checks??? Who else in government or realtor business are helping to facilitating these crimes??? How are these people walking around buying things with rolls of hundred dollars bills?? If you have not witnessed it, you are BLIND!!

This is normal, it happens in the UK and Canada too.

Shame on these ,who are greedy.

electronics, folding tables and blankets. Sounds about right 😂😂😂

First these people are always scamming people and then cuss and threaten the people when caught. NOW they’re selling people.

Scam call center.

According to The Indian Express, these are Indian Americans. So they are trafficking women from India. Human trafficking needs to be stopped. There was a similar case in GA a few years ago where a Hindu temple was involved

Always scamming😡

Great investigation ! And thank you to the company who cared to report the situation. Keep it going !!

This is common, rampant and ignored by authorities in Brampton and Milton Ontario and many parts of Canada.

They all belong to a wider crime ring based out of State of Andhra Pradesh in India, it is run by a known criminal gang called YSRCP, Jagan Mohan Reddy is the head of that crime ring, if it is in the US they should be prosecuted with RICO, since it is India, US should contact Indian authorities and put an end to this operation, or this will continue forever.

Those are some sick individuals

They have been caught in Australia too imagine how many more are doing evil 😈 deeds

This is infuriating!

Probably had a small call center in there

Deport deport deport!

Deportation is the solution. Human trafficking is a serious crime and concern.

From Princeton to Prison.

This is everywhere in the United States.😮

It's deeply concerning to see the stark contrast in how our government treats legal temporary immigrant workers compared to illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants, especially those on H1B visas, face tremendous challenges. They are housed in cramped, substandard conditions, doing everything they can to stay in the country legally, including focusing their efforts on finding high-paying jobs within a limited 60-day window to find a qualifying job in their specialty field or self deport from the country. They do this without relying on any government assistance, despite paying taxes and following all the rules. In stark contrast, illegal immigrants receive government-provided benefits such as luxury hotel accommodations, prepaid cell phones, food stamps, and cash assistance. This disparity highlights a significant hypocrisy in our immigration policies. Legal temporary immigrants are contributing members of our society, paying taxes, and adhering to the law, yet they endure subhuman living conditions and are ineligible for any government assistance. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants who have crossed the border unlawfully receive substantial support. It's time for the government to take charge and ensure that legal immigrants receive fair treatment. These hardworking individuals deserve better housing, support, and recognition for their contributions. We must protect and support those who follow the rules, not just those who break them. By addressing this imbalance, we can create a more just and equitable system for all. Please give a like if you agree with my comment.

I’ve heard of this before. Same thing, people from India. Texas.

Must be international students from india. That is happening here in Ontario

Deport.

Yes. They looked. Indian. To me! Why can't they say. Where they are from!

CLOSE THE BORDER!

Scammers most likely 😮

I noticed no spam calls today

Compare that to illegal migrants being granted to stay in hotels...it is such a shame that legal H1B have to face such a situation!!!

Why on earth are they divulging how the criminals got busted? It’ll simply tell other similar criminals what to be careful of.

So quick to give these "guys" a house without even checking there background. But somebody from Newark, Camden gets QUICKLY DENIED....

Oh my god!! It’s so scary these days..😢

What were these people doing in the USA in the first place ????? Who let them in ????

Greedy American corporate should stop outsourcing to their country period

I hope Baljeit benchoad hears about this

Ah, this is called “working from home” in the land of opportunity.

Whaat ?? So there is actually something called a "brown on brown" crime ??

We need people to wacht the neighbors and help them to stop all these criminals

These 4 people are Indians and of course the local authorities should investigate this case thoroughly as it could be a scamming subcontinent people or infamous IRA calls type scam. The people who are behind this must be brought before justice so that these kind of things won't happen again in the US.

They should list the names of the companies that hired the "contractors".

Deport!

Thats insane. How are the neighbors not able tobsee this insanity.

Pest control 😂damn you know they lived nasty 🤮

That’s what happens when they let any and everybody in the country. No checks and balances

Now a days, they have scam call centers right here and can come and get money from victims instead of victims driving to buy gift cards 🤣🤣

A dozen Indians living in the same house... sounds like my neighbors.

USA is a not a free country for H1B's and International students , there are tons of tech Human Trafficking companies operating around USA , UK , Australia etc... these are powering political parties fundings in India , USA , China , Democrats , Republicans both parties do get commissions they bring in these folks to power oil & gas, cars , meat industry, insurance, rentals , restaurants etc...

Why did they call pest control? If they were holding someone against their will.

😮 this look like this is a middle-class nice black neighborhood so this is why they move in there. Because they know that usually black people are not nosy. If this had been a middle-class white neighborhood. They would not been able to do it. Thank God the man told him then. 😏🤔

Be careful. Happening in Canada aswell. Stay safe everyone!

Another reason to know who is living nextdoor to you. 🤔 See something say something.

They are Indian. Those poor girls most likely be in huge debt to these people.

I am Indian Muslim so I want to help you guys so the most Human trafficking is doing by South Indians Telugu people and Nepal country people also . So Human trafficking mostly happening in Northern Virginia, ( Ashburn, Reston, Herndon, Sterling) Texas and Houston and Chicago ( Devon) city.

Microsoft activities.

They swear they people don’t do no wrong.

I am not asking this to be facetious, but how do you get bedbugs without beds? From my understanding, bedbugs reside in mattresses because of the warm humid environment.

Thank god they saw something and said something please dont let this garbage free

More crime from Ill eagles?

If none were being FORCED to stay there...how is this illegal or human trafficking. Seems like a lot of low income folks pooled together to get a house.

Harvard and Princeton have really gone downhill fast
