Introduction:
Maybe you've heard of it; maybe you haven't. Pig butchering, that is. The scam phrase of the year, even going back a year or two, for people losing money on frauds.

What is pig butchering?:
Pig butchering refers to fattening up a pig before you slaughter it. In this case, it's a metaphor for scamming investors. They fatten up the victim's investment before taking them down.

How it works:
Scammers start small, asking for modest amounts of money and promising outrageous returns. They employ clever social engineering, using various messaging platforms like email, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Telegram, to lure victims into investing more.

The trap unfolds:
Victims are shown enticing returns on their investments, doubling or tripling their money. As they become invested, scammers ask for more money under the guise of taxes, accounting fees, or audits.

Luring Tactics:
Some scams start with romance, using dating apps or social media to build trust. Scammers showcase their supposed wealth, convincing victims they can achieve the same.
