Inside a Pig Butchering Scam
Рет қаралды 2,611,950
3 ай бұрынPig butchering scams are one of the most devastating scams around. They are a combination of a Romance Scam and an Investment Scam, usually involving crypto currency.
In this video, I worked with someone who infiltrated a pig butchering scam in Dubai, UAE. He was able to take undercover video and audio to help expose how the scam works.
So let's have a look deep inside one of these scams...

The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect *GlobalTraceAssets* on the internet! If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country. Amazing work!

I asked chatgpt if it knew what pig butchering scams were. Here is what it wrote lol: "Yes, I'm familiar with pig butchering scams. These scams typically involve a seller offering to sell a live pig to a buyer at a seemingly good price. However, once the transaction is made, the seller may provide a pig that is either dead, of much lower quality than promised, or not even a pig at all (such as a different animal disguised as a pig)."

I can see your point. What you have to keep in ming that some people are lonely. Some people ache for companionship. Then you find some beautiful person who has taken interest in you and actually cares (or appears to). What makes these scams extra disgusting to me is that element. While it is not everyone (who doesn't like easy money) a lot of people fall for it because they need that emotional connection. The money is just the icing on the cake. We have to educate and help everyone. This is really the only way to fight this thing.

Winnie followed me on Twitter. She was a 30 year old, hot looking Chinese babe. She DMed me to ask if we could start a conversation on WhatsApp. Every day we would talk, and that went on for months. After she had built up my trust, she said she could show me how to make some money, if I would buy digital currency. I was saved by my bank because they refused my transaction. I asked Winnie if we could continue our relationship if we didn't talk about digital currency and that was the last I heard from her.

Some years ago i noticed that on many dating apps/websites there are profiles of models (too perfect), and they ALL have extremely similar backgrounds (a room in white colors), and the photos also look like they were shot on the same camera. That's when i started suspecting some organized scheme. I tried to look these photos up through reverse image search, got no results - i.e. they were not taken from other websites, and thus came to a conclusion that someone had actually involved models into shooting those, specifically for doing something on dating platforms. Once i saw these offices from the footage, i recognized those rooms. Now i finally know a much more detailed answer for what's this about. Thank you

I was a victim of this type of scam in early 2020 and it is incredibly shocking to realize how well they work to get you to fall for their entire scheme. Back in time, when the scammer asked me to take out loans to withdraw my "profits", I decided to stop following their instructions and then they become very aggressive afterwards. As I was trying to understand what was happening, I came across a subreddit where people were sharing their stories and my heart broke as I realized that my loss was nothing compared to theirs. Some of them were involved for more than a year, some others lost tens of thousands of dollars. In the end, I'm glad that this process taught me a lot about how they do things and that I was able to help people who were engaging in such a degenerate scheme. Thanks Jim for what you have done so far, and good work as always. Be wary, be cautious, and stay safe out there people!

Ive been helping out a family friend that got scammed for 4 years by a pig butcher scam (he's also disabled from cerebral palsy). We finally managed to convince him they're scammers, I just wish I had a way to get back at them for causing distress to the family for years. They managed to get his social security number, drivers license, family member information, ect. It's extremely frustrating.

I was a victim of a romance scam in 2020 from Tinder, the handwriting was very similar to this. And I lost a ton of money via "investing" even though I saw red flags, but "she" hypnotized me and knew what buttons to push. After that I have seen many more with the same handwriting, and I dodged all the subsequent bullets. I have no mercy for scammers, none whatsoever.

@@ryantseko4269 I can understand this perspective, because some scams feel like they're quite obvious. This isn't the case for everyone, however. Scammers use a bunch of psychological and persuasive tricks to fool people into lowering their guard. Often, they target those who might not be as good at tech as others. That being said, even people in the industry will fall for scams. It's important we keep an eye out for ourselves, and our friends + family.

@@ryantseko4269 If I was going to pass blame from the scammers, I wouldn't pass it down to the victims, but up to the environment producing scammers. As it seems clear (to me anyway) that environmental factors are a large contributor to making scammers, given how most scammers are in India, (which then means you should probably pass blame further up to the world for being the way it is) but who wants to do that, then that means we might be part of the problem, and that *feels* bad, so it couldn't be that. So instead since one can't do anything about the scammers, and being at fault can't be right, that only leaves down, to the victim, where you can feel confident that if *you* were them you wouldn't get scammed, so that must mean it is the victims fault for being stupid. Sigh.
