How Americans Are Losing Their Life Savings To Crypto Fraud

[@NirajYadav-sz1wf]

I'm a Police officer and I'm tired of taking these reports where people are scammed anywhere from 100 to seriously $50,000. It's quite unfortunate tho, *Skillful Recovery* Seriously thank you for flagging down these swindlers. You make me want to spend my next 10 years learning how to do this.!

[@mellem4653]

AVOID contacting/dating the following kinds of people on dating apps for mental and financial well-being: 1) Supermodel like women with a lot of glamourous photographs and very little concise written information about them - very likely fake profiles 2) Women with ambiguous educational and career details (will usually mention something vague like Real Estate or Finance). They are out to sell you real estate, time share, crypto or some other investment pitch, and most likely will swindle you. 3) Women who mention stuff like they want to date men in therapy or seeking therapy - very likely there to sell you some expensive self-help program/therapy or sign you up for a cult that uses beautiful women to recruit, and for which these women receive commissions. There was a similar cult from a few years ago starting with "N" - look it up. 4) Women who provide very little unique/specific information and have a lot of glamourous photos featuring exotic locales and yachts - most likely escorts/prossies whose lifestyles are being financed by rich sugadaddies 5) Women passing through airports or just passing through your city for a short period - see 4) 6) Women with social media addiction, especially to TikTok and Instagram

That's not how it works, victims don't know they are giving them their money in the first place. It's made to look like like a crypto market, where the victim "invests" a small amount of money into a crypto currency, or another type of investment, so it looks like a brokerage account that one would open an account with. Once the victim sees quick and significant gains in the value of their account consistently, they will be tempted to put increasingly more of their available cash into this rapidly growing "investment" while they have the opportunity. Once that large investment is made, the scammers have all the victims' money, and that account and those investments were fake all along. That's why they call it the "pig butchering scam." They "fatten" their victim up before the slaughter.

No, they are not giving them money. They are tricked into opening a fake investing account, that looks real, and repeatedly investing over a period of time. The scammers make it look like the accounts value is growing very quickly, and the victim can even withdraw more money than they initially put in. Of course, they are hinted towards doing this by a person they believe they are trying to have a relationship with. It is only after they commit and put in substantial sums of money into the account that the scammers pull the rug out from under them and take all the money and vanish.

It's a little smarter of a scam than that. Instead of "hey my car broke down and I need money don't you love me send me some?" They say "hey I'm doing great for myself and you said you hate how little interest you make from you're savings account, I invest on this platform if you wanted to you can to and make great money", you're tempted not to see it as a scam because the person telling you about it doesn't get handed the money (their fake legitimate looking website does), you know them from something unrelated (dating site), and they supposedly love you (social engineering).

That's just it, the victim does do it all themselves. They believe they are actually investing, on a legitimate market, in an account that they opened and they believe belongs to them.

[@VarisaraGibson]

Scammers are becoming increasingly skilled at deceiving people and making them part with their money. To avoid being scammed, always be cautious and vigilant, never share your personal and financial information with anyone you don't trust and avoid making hasty decisions when investing or sending money. In the unfortunate event that you have been scammed, immediately report to the appropriate authorities( National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force) and take appropriate legal action. It is also essential to communicate with your bank or financial institution to help you recover your funds. Be proactive and stay informed to avoid falling victim to scammers.

Anyone who is willing to give their $$$ away soo easily wasn't scammed. Stuff like this happened before the internet. Common sense isn't common anymore.

[@Wildivn]

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 *Strong widget!* 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!

[@CandyLove-k5y]

I wish there was more people like you to stop all these scammers, they need serious jail time for that, especially when they take money from the elderly, keep doing what your doing *VortexTrace* put the wind up these low life oxygen thief's Love what you guys do keep up the great work mate well done Respect.😊😊

I'm sorry but anybody who falls for this is just not an intelligent person. I get these texts all day long and it's so obvious that these people are scammers I don't understand how anyone could ever fall for this kind of crap.

[@HaluhalongPuna]

we're around 8 billion people here on earth. you can't expect anyone to be as intelligent as you. you need to set your standards a little lower. geez.

[@bdflatlander]

I agree. I posted a comment on this story where I said I receive about 10 - 15 scam e-mails a week and it is so obvious they are scams I don’t understand how any rational person would fall for them. The basic rule to follow is that no one you have never heard of is going to contact you out of the blue and offer you millions of dollars and all you have to do is send them a $100 ‘Processing Fee’ on an Apple Gift Card and they will release the money to you. I guess there are lots of people with a connection to the internet who are completely lacking any common sense who will fall for these scams.

[@boiledgermanfood]

People are lonely, and the scammers have all the time in the world and spreadsheets w/thousands of phone numbers of prospective victims. 99% might not fall for it, but they only need the 1% to get their money.

[@russelldofrane6614]

[@DavidKen878]

@@boiledgermanfood What does being lonely have to do with anything? People like you love using that excuse like it's supposed to justify someone's lack of critical thinking.

[@paillette2010]

I made a comment on the BBC piece about pig-butchering. A customer was being scammed in 2014 (I was a banker) and I nipped it in the bud. The prevailing comments tend to, as here, blame the victims. Now, with increased isolation thanks to apps and socials people are feeling loneliness. And thanks to that same isolation, you won’t have a banker or other intercessor in the process. The first lady sounds like she either got a refi loan or huge loc and thought she could trust someone. God forbid she took out a 401k loan. It’s happening to every gender and every age group.

[@mikeshafer]

Yeah victim blaming is acceptable at this point. Everyone should know the basics of life: if a stranger asks you for money, you say no. This existed long before the internet existed.

[@paillette2010]

@@mikeshafer your approach to the problem is simplistic and simple, so whatever.

[@mikeshafer]

@@paillette2010 yes, I mean duh. If someone calls you pretending to be the bank and you end up giving some scammer your money, that sucks, but to live in a world full of horrible people you have to be smart.

[@DavidKen878]

Holding someone accountable is not victim blaming. And even if it was, loneliness doesn't justify sending tens of thousands of dollars to someone YOU DONT KNOW. That excuse is getting tired at this point.

[@webapple1]

The victim has a role to play in this , more broadly however , I think the rise in social scams shows how much our education systems have no taught critical thinking , to not think about situations you are in. You cannot blame someone if the scammer was a hacker and exploited an app, but with the amount of material out there of “don’t give money to strangers , don’t answer calls” etc etc , it’s wild to see people still falling for it

[@numberonecobfan]

The courage displayed here is truly remarkable. These individuals faced real danger, yet you chose to confront the fraudsters and reclaim their stolen assets. Your commitment deserves great admiration, *Stalwart-Redeem* If law enforcement matched your dedication and ingenuity (not to mention integrity), our country would undoubtedly be a much safer place. Outstanding job!

“These people are not gullible”. Hmm. I am trying to remember the last time I heard of something good coming from responding to a random, unsolicited text.

[@zepher664]

They often aren't. This usually isn't a random, unsolicited text. The scammer pretends to be interested in a relationship on a dating site with the victim, and spends time building trust with them before starting the scam. It's also made to look as legit like an investing platform as possible, sometimes with their own apps as well, so the victim doesn't even know that they're giving their money to somebody else. They believe it is in their own account the entire time.
