I think out of most scams, pig butchering is specifically worse, because the scammers are willing to play the long game. These scammers are willing to spend weeks, months, and even years to get people to trust them enough, and make them feel comfortable enough to send them thousands, and even millions of dollars. That’s terrifying to think about.

AFAIK, the IP grabber trick in many cases might not work against these groups. My friend once got into the backend of a scam site like this years ago and had access to both its backend chat API and the database. It turned out most of them were operating in South East Asia, e.g. Myanmar, Thai, Philippines, etc. They used servers in Hong Kong to make the international connections smoother. The scammer was sitting behind a VPN with the exit node in Hong Kong. Not sure if it's also the case here, but operating in Hong Kong would probably be too costly to them.

No, they control everything, at most you can cash out the first withdrawal and that’s it

Dude, your digital detective skills are pretty freaking amazing. That was really great how you tracked that girl down.

Excellent job, *Novacyber* -I'm delighted you're out there fighting these jerks. We must do everything possible to protect the elderly and the general public from these vile con artists! You deserve it!! Big up, brother, you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for keeping us safe……..

How did you fall for this exactly, If anyone messages you out of the blue that you don't know, the rule is, block it.

He exposes scams. He plays along to take a deep dive into it to expose details to help us avoid it. Am I the only one who thinks PG doesn’t need to make money that way?

My fiance fell for this unfortunately about 2 years ago. We didn't know about pig butchering and although I felt uneasy, because he was seemingly "making money" he continued as he felt like he could just withdraw and stop whenever he wanted to but of course, that didn't happen and he lost about $1000. We learned our lesson the hard (and expensive) way. I think we both thought we couldn't be a scam victim as we had watched your videos before but I guess it goes to show it can happen to anyone. My fiance is still embarrassed about this happening to him but helpful videos like this will raise awareness so hopefully others don't make the same mistake.

I got this same text last week. Thank you for the deep dive!

I'm just a jerk to almost everyone who texts me. Lone survivor survives alone. Also, scammers are criminals. End of story. They don't deserve sympathy.

Often they are awful people, and what they're doing is wrong obviously, but sometimes they are forced to scam people or they're just trying to feed their family. I feel kind of bad for scammers because what a miserable life they live, and they're usually stupid because they can't understand that they're hurting another human being and that they're wasting their lives, if they do understand that they probably have a lot of guilt.

I find these fake tasks on Facebook. Pretty much the same thing anyone else find them on Facebook or is it just me?

*Spyoptron8* outstanding job, I'm so glad you're out, they're battling these vile con artists. We must take every precaution to protect the general people and the elderly from these vile con artists!!! Bravo to you! You ought to be awarded the noble prize for protecting us, big ups😊

Where are the pigs? and the butchering? What a bizarre description!

It’s a Chinese idiom. Basically it refers to feeding a pig for a long time, to make it fat, before butchering it. Pig butchering scams have a long lead time, weeks or months, before pulling off the scam. The scammer uses the time to build rapport with the victim, so when it’s time for the scam, the victim trusts the scammer and is more likely to commit larger sums of money. Some of these are romance scams but others involve business and investing.

I think the pigs are the scam victims. The scammer “fattens them up” by letting them have some money. If Ben had taken the $100 the first time, he would have been ahead. But instead the victim usually “re-invests” that money to make more. Once the victim has put enough of his own money in, the scammer takes it all and breaks contact. That’s the “butchering.”

Hi there! I love your videos and have been watching every upload for years now. I noticed that you seem to talk a lot faster these days and was curious if that helps with retention? Just curious what the idea behind that could be for my own projects! Thanks for making great content and helping so many people!

i nearly fell for a very similar scam, with the only differences being in semantics. i can't work traditional jobs for several reasons (that i won't get into because that's not what this is about) and have been desperate for money, so i ignored the red flags. thankfully i didn't give them any money, but i had already given them my email and i was incredibly scared. i'm glad there's channels like yours out there spreading the word.

Love the green neon light!! I work for a bank in the UK and see this scam all the time! So sad!

Thank you for teaching me so much. I just caught my first scammer from Lagos. Thank you

Awesome work, Team *VortexTrace* ! It's so satisfying to see you putting in the effort to stop those shady characters. Protecting the public, especially the elderly, from those despicable con artists is crucial. You truly deserve recognition and appreciation for keeping us secure. I'm thrilled for you because you're my sibling. Your accomplishments definitely make you a strong contender for the Nobel Peace Prize. Keep up the outstanding performance!!!!

Thankyou for explaining this to us 🙏 it's insane ....

That's insanity. Great video!
