Pig Butchering Scams

One of the fastest-growing crypto frauds is known as “pig butchering.” It is a cruel scam where fraudsters build trust with victims over weeks or months, pretending to be friends, mentors, or even romantic partners.

The scam usually follows this pattern:

  1. Scammer approaches victim on social media or dating platforms.

  2. Builds trust with daily conversations and fake proof of wealth.

  3. Introduces a “special investment opportunity” that seems exclusive.

  4. Victim invests small amounts and sees fake profits to build confidence.

  5. Victim then invests larger sums, only for the scammer and platform to vanish.
