Which term describes luring someone away with a false job offer and exploiting them?

• A. Fraud
• B. Discrimination
• C. Trafficking
• D. Kidnapping

Answer: (C)

Trafficking focuses on recruiting or moving someone with the intent to exploit them, often using deception or coercion. Luring someone with a false job offer fits this because the initial promise is a ruse, used to get the person away from their usual situation, after which they are exploited for labor or other means. The key idea is the combination of recruitment through deception and subsequent exploitation, which sets trafficking apart from simple fraud, discrimination, or kidnapping. Fraud is deception for personal gain, but not necessarily accompanied by ongoing exploitation of the person. Discrimination is unfair treatment based on a characteristic. Kidnapping is about forcibly taking someone. When deception leads to exploitation over time, the right label is trafficking.
