PHOTO ESSAY: Two victims on opposite sides of the global scam industry seek to rebuild their lives
One victim believed he was connecting with 'Eliza' but lost his life savings to a scam.
Another victim was trafficked to a scam location, abused, and forced to assume the online identity 'Ella'.
Public attention mainly targets social media platforms where victims interact, and watchdogs say U.S. tech companies could do more to prevent abuse but lack legal and business incentives.
