• What is a Pig Butchering Scam?
  • A scam method where victims are groomed over weeks, months, or even years by scammers posing as trustworthy individuals.
  • Commonly initiated on social media or dating apps to build relationships and gain trust.
• How the Scam Works:
  • Scammers slowly ask for small amounts of money, gradually increasing until they've taken everything.
  • Victims are manipulated into believing the scam is a legitimate investment.
  • Scammers often present fake returns to convince victims to invest more.
• Behind the Scenes of the Scam:
  • Operated by teams working 24/7 to maintain constant communication with victims.
  • Scammers may rotate or replace team members seamlessly to maintain the illusion of a consistent relationship.
• Warning Signs to Watch Out For:
  • Unregistered investments: Always verify with the SEC if the investment is legitimate.
  • Stolen identities: Scammers may use hijacked names and profiles from LinkedIn or Facebook.
  • Claims of needing to pay "tax" before accessing returns—this is a common tactic to extract more money.
