Understanding 'Pig Butchering' Crypto Scams

Recognizing the stages of a pig butchering scam is key to identifying, preventing, and minimizing its impact. Below, we outline the common patterns reported by victims who have come to us for assistance. In recent years, a more advanced form of fraud, known as "pig butchering" scams, has emerged within the cryptocurrency space. The term refers to the method of "fattening" a victim by gaining their trust before ultimately exploiting them financially. These scams are carefully crafted and follow a series of well-planned steps to deceive individuals.



Common Stages of Pig Butchering Crypto Scams

These scams typically begin on social media platforms, dating sites, or messaging apps, where scammers initiate contact. They often pretend to have met the victim before or start a friendly conversation to create a false familiarity. Over time, the scammer builds a relationship with the victim, often under the pretense of friendship or romantic interest. Regular communication is maintained to establish trust gradually. The scammer then introduces the concept of cryptocurrency trading, portraying it as a highly profitable venture. They may claim insider knowledge or access to a team of expert analysts to make the opportunity seem more credible. As the victim's confidence grows, they are encouraged to invest increasing amounts. The scammer manipulates the trading platform to display fake profits and inflated account balances. In some cases, the victim is allowed to withdraw a small portion of their initial investment to reinforce the illusion of profitability and entice them to invest further. When the victim attempts to withdraw a larger sum, they are met with obstacles. The scammer provides excuses, such as the need to pay taxes, withdrawal fees, or other related costs, preventing access to the funds. Despite the apparent profits, scammers refuse to deduct these fees from the displayed account balance. Throughout the process, the scammer continues to communicate with the victim, often applying pressure to invest more to release their funds or to avoid supposed legal complications.
