Pig Butchering Scams
Recover funds lost in sophisticated romance and social engineering crypto scams.
Understanding Pig Butchering
Pig butchering — derived from the Chinese term "sha zhu pan" — is one of the most devastating forms of crypto fraud. Scammers build romantic or friendly relationships with victims over weeks or months through dating apps, social media, or messaging platforms. Once trust is established, they introduce a "lucrative" crypto investment opportunity.
The scam involves a fake trading platform that shows impressive fake profits, encouraging victims to deposit more and more. When the victim tries to withdraw, they face endless excuses, demands for additional fees, or the scammer simply disappears. Many victims lose their life savings to these elaborate schemes.
